Gemini Israel Funds

Ed is the Chairman and Founding Partner of Gemini Israel Funds. He is widely recognized as one of the founding fathers of Israeli high-tech and venture capital. In 1993, Ed was asked to manage the first VC fund to emerge from the Israeli government’s Yozma program. Aimed at prompting venture investments in Israel, Yozma transformed the domestic landscape of venture capital investments. Over a period of three years, the group established ten drop-down funds, of which Gemini was the first. Prior to founding Gemini, Ed served as Executive Director of the Israel-U.S. Bi-national Industrial Research and Development Foundation (BIRD). During his tenure, he was responsible for investments of $100 million in more than 300 joint projects between U.S. and Israeli high technology companies.
