About Amit Avner

Amit Avner is a General Partner at Operator Partners, an early-stage fund he co-founded with the founders of Flatiron Health to support operator-led technology companies, and he previously served as founder and CEO of Taykey until its acquisition by Innovid[2][5][9]. His investment thesis targets pre-seed and seed-stage startups in the cybersecurity and healthcare sectors across the United States and Israel[2][3]. Avner typically invests between $25,000 and $300,000 per deal and operates as a founder-first investor, leveraging his deep technical background that includes building a meta-search engine at age 14 and serving in an elite IDF intelligence unit[2][3][8]. Notable portfolio companies include Plaid, ByHeart, Voca.AI, and Custodia, with additional investments in NYM Health, Nirvana Health, Tropic, and Runwise[2][3][5]. A distinctive point of view is his emphasis on backing operators with hands-on founder experience, as he himself scaled Taykey to a multi-million-dollar company backed by Sequoia, SoftBank, and Innovation Endeavors before its sale[2][8]. While no public writing is explicitly cited in the search results, his profile consistently highlights his engineering roots
