Yoram Oron founded Vertex Ventures Israel in 1997 as part of Israel's original Yozma program, making him one of the early architects of the country's venture ecosystem, and later co-founded Red Dot Capital Partners in 2016 to create a rare dual-platform approach supporting Israeli companies from early stage through growth. Unlike most career VCs, he previously founded and led multiple tech companies as CEO, including building Reshef Technologies over thirty years, which gives him unusual operating depth when backing category-defining companies like Waze, CyberArk, and SolarEdge.
