Natalie Refuah is a General Partner at Viola Ventures who helped create one of Israel's first dedicated technology growth funds in 2008 and has spent 15+ years building both the investment and fundraising sides of the business, giving her a rare dual perspective on how capital flows through the ecosystem. Her background as a lawyer and former diplomat at Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs shapes her approach to negotiations and board work, while she's known for proactive sourcing methods like discovering companies through unconventional signals such as impressive office spaces rather than relying on standard investor channels.
