About

Protego Ventures is a $150 million defense fund based in Israel, dedicated to addressing the critical defense and security needs of Israel and the global community.

The growing geopolitical instability in the Middle East and Eastern Europe, particularly concerning advanced technologies, has significantly changed the defense landscape and security requirements worldwide. This situation has underscored the urgent demand for innovative defense solutions. Driven by necessity and ingenuity, Israel has positioned itself at the forefront of this evolution, rapidly developing next-generation tools and demonstrating their effectiveness on the battlefield.

Our team possesses unparalleled access to entrepreneurs and companies in Israel, and a unique global network of partners. These partnerships provide us with insight into technology and government priorities, assists our companies in securing contracts, and guides them towards successful exits.

As a pioneering fund in this sector, we invest in early growth-stage companies across key defense areas, including sensors, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence and machine learning, drones, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

We believe the convergence of new technologies and the urgency of the changed geopolitical and security needs, provide an unprecedented opportunity to help secure Israel’s and the world’s safety and security while providing exceptional returns for investors.
