Or (Luis) Shemtov brings an unusual mix of backgrounds to venture investing—he studied psychology, taught himself software engineering, started hacking as a teenager, and now describes the job of venture capital as more like reporting than finance, where listening and learning fast matter most. As one of the three founding partners who helped build Lunar Ventures in Berlin, he focuses on areas like low-data machine learning, private computation, and developer tools, drawing a sharp line between real technical invention and companies that just look like tech, while also bringing a distinct view of how geography shapes startups, contrasting Israel's compact, resource-limited style with Germany's heavier, more capital-intensive approach.

Lunar Ventures is run solely by R&D experts with deep computer science backgrounds who focus exclusively on pre-seed deep-tech software startups in areas like AI infrastructure, cryptography, dev tools, and semiconductors. The fund is explicitly designed for technical builders who struggled to explain their product and vision to other investors, emphasizing science fiction into reality investments that are too early or too technical for most generalist funds.
