Fortissimo Capital

Active in Israeli startups

At Fortissimo, we focus on providing capital in special situations, buyouts, and growth capital opportunities to facilitate expansion. We seek private companies with strong revenues, a solid customer base and effective business model that require growth capital. We invest in public companies requiring significant growth capital for scaling operations. This includes vertical or horizontal expansions and acquisitions of complementary technologies and businesses. We target spin-offs from larger corporations that have strong capabilities but fall outside the parent company’s core focus, enabling them to realize their full growth potential independently. We acquire stakes in mature, profitable companies with divesting shareholders, offering stable revenue and growth potential. Our criteria for investment include proven, viable technology, stable revenue, a profitability roadmap, high-growth market, market share potential, and top-tier leadership.
