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. Since 2009 I have also run digger.co.il, an Israeli job and CV platform, so I have spent fifteen years inside the Israeli tech labor market, not watching it from Dallas. 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.
From first call to wire, in days.
The process is the product. Founders get speed and a straight answer. LPs get a paper trail that holds up. This is what both sides actually feel.
A real read, fast
Every inbound founder hears back within 48 hours with a substantive take on the company, not a templated brush-off. If we pass, we say why.
Diligence that holds up
Structured technical, market, and financial workup. A CTO-GP reads the codebase and pressure-tests the architecture. The memo is written down and LPs can request it.
One decision-maker
No partner meeting, no committee, no three associates in the loop. Yes, no, or a clear reason why, from the person who did the work.
The unglamorous work
Delaware C-corp, US banking, GTM introductions, follow-on syndication into US family offices. Quarterly LP reporting with mark-to-market and pipeline color.
One inbox. One calendar.
