F2 Doubles Down on Israeli Founders with $250m in New Funds and a New Partner
F2 Venture Capital doubles down on Israeli tech founders at their earliest stages, having raised $250 million in new funds and appointed Maor Fridman as a Partner.
Tel Aviv, Israel–(Newsfile Corp. – July 5, 2022) – Today, F2 Venture Capital has announced its third seed fund of $150 million for Israeli founders building moonshot companies as well as its Select Fund to continue backing existing portfolio companies, bringing their new funds to $250M and total funds under management above $400M. F2’s areas of focus include Fintech, AI, Big Data, Cloud Ops, and Cyber, with an emphasis on companies pioneering new categories.

“Over the last 20 years, we have navigated through multiple market conditions, like the world finds itself in today. Some of our best investments emerged from times like this,” said Jonathan Saacks, Managing Partner at F2. “We are excited by the high potential opportunities we see in the Israeli ecosystem.”
To support their growth and focus on founders establishing deep-technology companies, they have promoted Maor Fridman to Partner. Fridman was previously a software engineer at Intel and Amazon Web Services (AWS) where he led cutting-edge projects in technology innovation. At F2, he has been a driving force in investments such as Justt, Parametrix, Astrix, DreamTeam and other companies still in stealth mode.
“Maor is radically founder-focused and has excelled as a VC in record time,” says Barak Rabinowitz, Managing Partner at F2. “Given his deep tech background and passion for business, he is the ideal partner for our new funds and growth.”
F2 Fund III is a step-up from its previous funds of $60 million and $75 million, launched in 2017 and 2019 respectively, as F2 has established itself as one of the most active seed investors in Israel, building on the momentum of category leaders the team previously backed like Monday.com, and eToro.
“Now is the time to double down on bold founders. This not only includes funding but more importantly support with sharpening products and technological moats, building strong leadership, and ultimately finding the product-market fit and go-to-market strategy,” said Maor Fridman, newly appointed Partner at F2.
To support founders on their journey F2 has built several value-add platforms. The Junction is one platform developed by F2 that has become an institution in the local ecosystem. The Junction is F2’s pre-seed investment program that helps founders achieve technological, product, and business milestones in an accelerated time frame. Dating back to 2011 under their previous fund, Genesis Partners, The Junction has launched hundreds of companies including Honeybook, Appsflyer, Coralogix, Databand and CyberX with a community of hundreds of founders who “pay it forward” to the next generation.
Another value add is F2’s emphasis on high performance teams, with a dedicated partner Noa Matz having developed operational playbooks for startup psychology, coaching founders through the pressures and tradeoffs at the initial stages of company building – especially relevant in current market conditions.
F2 is the fund behind category leaders like Explorium, Justt, Parametrix, 4M Analytics and Dataloop, among others, and is now actively investing in a new generation of winners.

UNICC and ShelterZoom Developed a Secure Document Tracking and E-Signature Solution for the UN System
The United Nations International Computing Center (UNICC) and ShelterZoom are pleased to announce a new innovative blockchain-based solution for controlling and protecting the digital data of UN entities and other international organizations. As the largest strategic partner for digital solutions and cybersecurity within the UN system, UNICC has partnered with ShelterZoom, a leading data and content protection and ownership SaaS company behind innovations such as Document Token® technology and Document GPS®.
Building upon the 50 years of experienced innovation from the UNICC, the two organizations collaborated on a transformational undertaking offering robust protection and promising increased productivity for document tracking and management. ShelterZoom will contribute its proprietary document tokenization technology, along with its data protection, document tracking and e-signature solutions to deliver a white-labeled platform, giving member organizations a greater level of governance over their content. Using ShelterZoom’s flagship proprietary Single Source Of Truth® technology, the solution provides a means for each file to be protected individually without changing user normal habits instead of having to rely solely on protecting files at the database level. This ‘singularity and control’ is a new era in cybersecurity and document management, which has never been seen before at this level of seamless integration with existing tools.
“The synergy between what we deliver and the goals of the United Nations are a perfect match for Single Source Of Truth,” said Chao Cheng-Shorland, CEO and Cofounder of ShelterZoom. “We have said from the beginning that it is time to think about cybersecurity in a completely new way and in doing so we have created a solution to address other operational pain points while simultaneously solving one of the biggest challenges facing the global population today. The UN is at the frontlines of changing the world for the better and its forward-thinking approach to using technology to address fundamental issues is critical in improving livelihoods for all.”
ShelterZoom solutions have already been in use across dozens of industries and with this new commercial partnership, they can now extend their usefulness to the UN family and other international organizations. The revolutionary method for complete document tracking with built-in productivity tools, such as digital signatures and a market-first method for organizing files inside email, is an all-in-one solution built for a global workforce. The Single Source of Truth model has the added benefit of decreasing the carbon footprint created by excessive digital waste, further supporting the sustainability goals of the United Nations.
“The need for robust cybersecurity and data protection has never been greater,” said Sameer Chauhan, Director of UNICC. “By working together with ShelterZoom, we have developed a cutting-edge tool tailored to the needs of the UN family. Our unwavering commitment to providing best-in-class solutions ensures we continue to support the digital transformation and modernization of the UN system and other international organizations.”
