  • CaPow

    Participated · Series A · Mar 2025

    CaPow develops Power-In-Motion technology that transfers energy to robotic fleets while in motion, eliminating downtime and ensuring continuous throughput. Its Genesis system integrates into existing warehouse infrastructure, enabling operators, automation experts, and OEMs to increase efficiency and reduce overall expenses. The company focuses on efficient power delivery for robotic fleets across logistics and warehouse automation. CaPow was founded in 2019 by Prof. Mor Peretz, Dr. Eli Abramov, and Dr. Alon Cervera. The company plans to use new funding to broaden expansion into new markets, grow global operations, scale R&D, and ramp up production. CaPow develops a battery-free, wireless energy delivery ecosystem that provides continuous power to automated robotic environments, eliminating robot downtime caused by charging. Its proprietary system is designed to transfer power with wide and dynamic capabilities, accommodate multiple users, tolerate metal and debris in the transfer field, and support large distances and wide spatial coverage. Led by CEO Prof. Mor Peretz, the company targets continuous operation of mobile robots to replace reliance on legacy batteries. CaPow intends to use the $7.5M seed to scale up commercialization of its solution. The company is based in Be’er Sheva, Israel. Governance was strengthened with Mr. Amir Fishelov joining the board as chairman, bringing two decades of experience from SolarEdge.

  • Clearly.Earth

    Participated · Seed · Aug 2024

    Clearly offers an AI-driven climate intelligence platform aimed at transport fleet operators and logistics companies. The platform ingests anonymized customer data — GPS, vehicle movement and performance, IoT data, load weight and more — to produce emission-related insights and driver-facing nudges (for example prompting a driver to adjust tire pressure). Its dashboard and app deliver alerts and operational recommendations intended to cut fuel use and help fleets meet regulatory emissions targets. Clearly tracks over 100 million trips from clients and counts blue-chip customers such as Webfleet and Bridgestone’s fleet management solution. The company argues driving behavior can influence as much as 30% of fuel consumption and positions its product to save operators money while reducing CO2. Founded in 2021, Clearly plans to scale its product and capture a meaningful share of the large transport decarbonization market.

  • Click-Ins

    Participated · Equity · Mar 2023

    Click-Ins develops an automatic AI-based solution that examines vehicle damage from images captured on any mobile device, producing detailed condition reports without special equipment or skilled personnel. Its technology combines photogrammetry, 3D modeling, computer vision, and machine learning and is described as patent-pending visual intelligence AI. The product enables rental, insurance, and automotive companies to discover, analyze, process, and evaluate external damages with high precision. The company says the solution prevents fraud and reduces waste by improving accuracy and efficiency in complex workflows. Click-Ins will use the fresh capital to continue accelerated growth and to expand and develop its proprietary product. The company currently employs 25 people and has offices and partners in the U.S. and Europe while being headquartered in Netanya, Israel.

  • Carteav

    Carteav develops autonomous low-speed vehicles paired with a comprehensive site management solution for transporting people and goods. Its platform includes an advanced algorithm for smart fleet scheduling and charging, a mapping system that learns managed-area parameters in under 24 hours, and a reservation app. The company has run a pilot program in Israel as it prepares to bring its offerings to the U.S. market. Led by CEO Avinoam Barak, Carteav targets deployments in retirement communities, hospitals, factories, universities, golf courses, residential apartments and similar managed areas. The company raised $6.5M in funding and plans to use the proceeds to expand product development and deepen its presence in the U.S. Carteav intends to showcase at CES in January 2023 and at the 2023 PGA Show to expand its market capabilities.

  • RideVision

    Participated · Series A · Nov 2020

    Ride Vision develops the Ride Vision 1, an AI-based, computer-vision safety system for motorcycles that provides forward-collision alerts, blind-spot monitoring, proximity warnings and ride recording. The on-bike hardware includes front and rear wide-angle cameras, mirror-mounted alert indicators and a main computing unit. The company holds patents on its human-machine warning interface and vision algorithms. Ride Vision has announced a partnership with automotive parts manufacturer Continental and plans an international launch, with availability in several European markets in early 2021 and broader rollouts to follow. The broader market tailwind noted in the article is a 30% increase in European two-wheeler sales during the pandemic. Financially, the company has raised a total of $10 million to date. Ride Vision develops CAT™ (Collision Aversion Technology), a fusion of neural‑network deep learning and computer vision that provides motorcycles with 360° predictive vision. CAT leverages standard hardware and cameras to detect threats beyond the rider’s sight, predict risk and highlight relevant threats within hundreds of milliseconds (around 100 ms). The system is designed to be affordable, avoid complex hardware or expensive cameras, and can be incorporated into any new or traded motorcycle. Ride Vision positions the product to address high motorcycle fatality rates cited by NHTSA and EU statistics and to serve a large global motorcycle market (the article cites 132.4 million motorcycle units sold in 2018 and an expected $150 billion market by 2022). On June 14, 2018 the company announced $2.5M in seed funding led by YL Ventures to bring the technology to market. Leadership includes CEO & Co‑Founder Uri Lavi and a team described as technologists who are also motorbike riders.
