About Us
We didn’t plan on being a VC. We started UpWest because of our passion for helping Israeli founders — not just when they first come to the US, but for the long term. Spending the past decade helping incredible Israeli founders break or expand into the US, we’ve demonstrated that we provide substantial value to pre-Series A companies across domains, including connecting companies to major corporates and top tier investors.
Our platform provides invaluable support and includes a diverse group of founders, executives, domain experts, angels and institutional investors. Few people understand first-hand what it takes to get from an idea to a legitimate business. As founders ourselves, we know how important it is to have people that can really help you through those turbulent times.
