Notable Investments

This is some text inside of a div block.

Zeev Ventures is structured as an "anti-firm" where Oren runs $2B+ AUM as a true solo GP with no partners, associates, or investment committee, deliberately rejecting the institutional VC model to stay fast and personal while delivering VC-sized checks. He backs founders who are "outsiders to the problem, insiders to the pain"—not traditional industry insiders but people with deep personal exposure to the pain point they're solving—and often co-founds or incubates companies alongside being their primary capital partner.
