R-Squared: “A model in statistics that is intended to predict future outcomes”. And the two Roys behind it. Were a Founder-led Fund. Entrepreneurs, founders and CEOs that started, ran, scaled and sold companies. Then as corporate executives post the acquisition. Invested as angels in several dozen start-up companies. Passionate about supporting the companies and the founders were backing. R-Squared Ventures was founded as an extension to our personal investments. Backed by over 80 top entrepreneurs, founders, CEOs and VCs that are our LPs - in Silicon Valley and Israel - that are part of our investments and extend their experience, network and support to our companies. Were excited about backing strong founders - with the drive, passion and ability to execute on a real problem, in a sizable market, with a big vision, and a defensible solution and path to succeed. With dozens of portfolio companies, we are currently investing from our second fund and are primarily focused on Pre-Seed and Seed stage companies in Enterprise/SMB SaaS and AI, Vertical-specific Technologies (including TaxTech, LegalTech, InsureTech), Fintech, and E-Commerce Enablement. Though we also invested in other categories, such as Marketplaces, AgTech, Gaming, B2C and others.
