Dror Nahumi joined Norwest specifically to establish and build the firm's Israel practice from the ground up, operating for years as the on-the-ground general partner who built the local presence rather than simply adding Israel to an existing portfolio. He has become known among Israeli technical founders and co-investors as a methodical company builder who focuses on deep-tech, cybersecurity, and data-heavy B2B startups, with other VCs studying his approach to repeatedly building large Israeli outcomes like Gong, Zero Networks, and Intezer.
