Entrée Capital has secured $300 million in new funds to double down on early stage technology investments across multiple frontier sectors. With this raise, the firm’s assets under management have reached approximately $1.5 billion, strengthening its position as a global early stage investor. The new capital reinforces Entrée Capital’s stated mission of backing “exceptional founders building the impossible” in an increasingly competitive tech market.
New Capital Aimed at Early Stage Founders
The fresh funding will be deployed primarily across pre-seed, seed, and Series A rounds. Entrée Capital plans to invest in startups based in Israel, the United Kingdom, Europe, and the United States, while maintaining a global mindset. The strategy is to identify high-conviction opportunities early, then support founders as they scale category-defining companies over time.
Doubling Down on AI as a Structural Shift
Artificial intelligence sits at the center of the firm’s new investment strategy, with a focus on AI-native applications, vertical AI agents, and enabling infrastructure. Partner Eran Bielski emphasized that AI is “not a fad” but a fundamental transformation of the global economy and software landscape. He noted that Entrée Capital has already been investing in AI for more than seven years and that these new funds will allow the firm to intensify its exposure to the theme.
Deep Tech, Quantum, and Defense-Linked Innovation
Beyond AI, the funds will target deep-tech opportunities such as advanced compute, science-driven systems, novel materials, and dual-use technologies including DefenseTech. Managing partner Ran Achituv highlighted that the firm sees a “new era where physics, compute, software, and national-security innovation converge.” He pointed to Israel’s role as a “global powerhouse for deep-tech and quantum innovation” and said Entrée Capital aims to scale that reach across Europe, the UK, and the United States.
Crypto, Web3 Infrastructure, and Contrarian Bets
The new capital will also support investments in crypto, with a preference for infrastructure and security layers rather than speculative tokens. Partner Tomer Niv described three priority themes: AI agents, decentralized physical infrastructure, and policy automation embedded directly into programmable finance. He argued that Web3 is shifting from speculation to institutional adoption, with AI agents managing capital under cryptographic policy frameworks, on-chain infrastructure securing decentralized networks, and compliance-as-code helping institutions interact safely with these systems.
Founder DNA and “Weird Is Wonderful” Opportunities
Entrée Capital’s partners stressed that the firm’s approach is anchored in founder empathy and long-term support from “day zero.” General partner Yoni Osherov said the firm “stands out because of its deep founder DNA” and expressed excitement about backing world-class teams from Israel and around the world. General partner Saul Levin added that the most compelling opportunities often lie in overlooked verticals that historically spent little on software, arguing that AI, hardware, ambient capture, and autonomous agents can unlock entire profit and loss statements in those sectors.
With $300 million in new funds and $1.5 billion now under management, Entrée Capital is positioning itself as a major early stage backer of AI, deep-tech, crypto, and frontier innovation. The firm’s strategy combines a strong geographic focus on Israel, Europe, the UK, and the United States with a thematic emphasis on transformative technologies that sit at the intersection of software, physics, and national security. Grounded in a founder-first philosophy and a willingness to back contrarian ideas, Entrée Capital is signaling that it intends to be an aggressive and long-term partner to generational founders building the next wave of global technology companies.
