About Yuval Ariav

Yuval Ariav looks for founders and markets that seem wrong or too early before others catch on, a habit shaped by his own experience getting turned down as a founder for building Fundbox outside the usual Israeli VC thinking. Having worked hands-on in product and engineering at Onavo and Fundbox, he says his operator background lets him dig deeply into unfamiliar industries quickly, and he's been tied early to companies like NextSilicon, FundGuard, Assure Allies, and Approve before they drew wider attention.

Symbol is a venture fund built around backing "pre-consensus" Israeli founders and markets that don't fit typical VC checklists but are likely to become obvious later, often prioritizing young or first-time founders without traditional pedigree over their learning curve and adaptability, while steering away from crowded sectors like cyber in favor of areas like HPC, procurement, and cargo insurance. It supports companies from before they even raise a round—helping with ideation, co-founder search, and hands-on product, UX, HR, and storytelling work—and extends that support to a company's first employees through dedicated peer groups, positioning itself as a highly personal, high-conviction first-check fund for what it calls Israel's "weirdest" venture opportunities.
