Built by an operator, after 25 years of shipping.
I'm Adam Yohanan. I've been building software for twenty-five years, most recently as CTO of Broadcast Your Media. I've also run digger.co.il, an Israeli job and CV platform, since 2009. That's fifteen years inside the Israeli tech labor market, even while living in Dallas. I've shipped products, hired engineers, raised rounds, and sat on the founder side of the table long enough to know what good and bad capital look like.
I started Olivent because the gap between Israeli engineering talent and US capital is the most obvious arbitrage I've seen in venture in two decades. Israeli founders ship fast and sell globally from day one, yet their seed rounds price well below US comps. US family offices want the exposure. They rarely have the relationships to get in cleanly. Olivent is the bridge.
I back founders I'd have wanted on my own team: technical, blunt, paranoid about the right things. I read code in diligence. I take calls in Hebrew or English. I answer in hours, and when the answer is no, it comes just as fast.
Olivent is a US-domiciled fund run from Dallas. One GP, one mandate, and a network of operators and advisors who've been on the building side. If that fits how you invest or how you build, the calendar link is below.
From first call to wire, in days.
The process is the product. Founders get speed and a straight answer. LPs get a paper trail that holds up. Here's how it runs, step by step.
A real read, fast
Every inbound founder hears back within 48 hours with a real take on the company. No form letter. If we pass, we tell you why.
Diligence that holds up
A technical, market and financial workup, done the same way every time. A CTO-GP reads the codebase and pressure-tests the architecture. The memo gets written down, and LPs can ask for it.
One decision-maker
No partner meeting, no committee, no three associates in the loop. Yes, no, or a clear reason why, from the person who did the work.
The unglamorous work
Delaware C-corp, US banking, GTM introductions, follow-on syndication into US family offices. Quarterly LP reporting with mark-to-market and pipeline color.
One inbox. One calendar.
