Itamar Novick is the Founder and General Partner (also described as Managing Partner) of Recursive Ventures, a $30M solo-led micro-VC fund based in Albany, California, where he leverages over two decades of prior experience as a startup founder and executive at companies like Life360 and Gigya. His investment thesis targets pre-seed and seed-stage technology startups in the United States and Israel that disrupt industries using artificial intelligence and data, with a specific recent commitment of $1M to write ten $100K checks for consumer AI startups. Novick typically makes the first check to AI founders, acting as a lead investor at the pre-seed stage while also participating in seed rounds and following on in later stages. Notable portfolio companies include Deel, Honeybook, Placer.ai, and Akash Network, with the firm’s total portfolio exceeding 60 companies. A distinctive point of view he advocates is focusing on unit economics during bridge funding to fix fundamental metrics like customer acquisition cost rather than scaling a broken model, and he was selected as a top 100 global seed investor by Business Insider from 2021 to 2024.
