Good Company, the pioneering Israeli venture capital firm
specializing in building mission-driven businesses that solve the
world’s biggest problems, announced today the launch of its $30
million fund. This funding marks a pivotal milestone for Good
Company as it accelerates its mission to support innovative
startups dedicated to addressing humanity’s most pressing
environmental and social challenges.
“Accelerating climate change, food shortages, threats to
biodiversity, overconsumption, and massive social inequality are
urgent threats facing humanity today,” said Shahar Botzer,
Partner at Good Company and father of four. “At Good Company, we
are dedicated to creating a better future for our children and
believe that Israel’s technological expertise is key to addressing
these pressing issues. We leverage our country’s entrepreneurial
resilience to build successful global companies that drive positive
change.”
Good Company specializes in pre-seed and seed investments in
startups focused on energy, agritech, healthcare, education, and
the circular economy. Since its inception in 2020, they have raised
$50 million to spearhead mission-driven startups. Leveraging a
unique investment model, the firm has an active portfolio of 13
startups, including being the first to invest in companies that
have emerged as category-defining changemakers
like BeeHero, Healthee, TULU, and ReturnGo.
“Israel’s leadership in R&D and deep technology presents
significant potential for impact-oriented markets,” added Ido
Fishler, Partner at Good Company and father of two. “We
believe the next Mobileye, Check Point,
and Monday.com will emerge in fast-growing fields such as
the circular economy, digital healthcare, and climate tech. Good
Company is proud to be at the forefront of the investment ecosystem
in Israel, working alongside exceptional founders to accelerate
their growth and drive global impact.”
With rising global temperatures, enterprises are increasingly
pressured to reduce carbon consumption and achieve Net Zero
