Jonathan Benartzi, co-founder and managing partner of Firstime Venture Capital, invests in early-stage Israeli startups (seed to Series A, post-seed to pre-A) focused on climate tech, digital health, agriculture technology, and AI, aligning with the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals. His firm’s notable portfolio includes Talkspace (which went public at a $1.5B valuation), BeeHero ($42M raised for precision pollination), Clarifruit, Pixellot, and Hygieia. Benartzi’s distinctive thesis centers on funding entrepreneurs solving major decade-long challenges—especially climate change and digital healthcare transitions—and he recently launched Firstime Credit to provide $10M–$100M non-dilutive project financing for Series B+ climate and sustainability startups.
