Judah Taub is the co-founder and managing partner of Hetz Ventures, a Tel Aviv-based venture firm he launched in 2017 after serving as Head of Data at the $20 billion London hedge fund Lansdowne Partners. His investment thesis is thematic and narrowly focused on early-stage, specifically seed, Israeli startups in artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, data engineering, infrastructure, and fintech.

Notable portfolio companies include AI and data infrastructure firms that align with his focus on transformative technology, though specific named examples beyond sector categories are not publicly detailed in available sources. He is also an author of the books *How To Move Up When The Only Way Is Down* and *הפוטנציאל הישראלי* (The Israeli Potential), reflecting his perspective on growth and Israeli entrepreneurship. Taub has publicly emphasized that Israeli AI lacks a “flywheel” effect and advocates for a more integrated approach to building AI ecosystems in the region.
