Built by an operator, not an allocator.
I'm Adam Yohanan. I've spent twenty-five years building software, most recently as CTO of Broadcast Your Media. I've shipped products, hired engineers, raised rounds, and sat on the founder side of the table long enough to know what good and bad capital look like.
I started Olivent because the gap between Israeli engineering talent and US capital is the most obvious arbitrage in venture I've seen in two decades. Israeli founders ship fast, sell globally from day one, and price their seed rounds well below US comps. US family offices want the exposure but rarely have the relationships to get in cleanly. Olivent is the bridge.
I back founders I'd have wanted on my own team: technical, blunt, paranoid about the right things. I read code in diligence. I take calls in Hebrew or English. I respond in hours, not weeks, and I tell founders no the same way.
Olivent is a US-domiciled fund run from Dallas. One GP, one mandate, a network of operators and advisors who've been on the building side. If that fits how you invest or how you build, the calendar link is below.
