Denali Ventures is a private venture capital partnership based in Israel and exclusively focused on investments in life science and health care technology companies.

Our partners work with management teams to build sound companies and strong leadership while providing financial support, management experience and an exceptional network of relationships with investors, scientists, technology centers, and strategic medical device and pharmaceutical manufacturers.

Denali's investors and management team have played a significant role in pioneering venture capital investments in Israeli Life Science companies since the early 1990s, and have founded and supported a number of the country's great successes. Denali's prior fund was the founder and largest shareholder in ESC Medical (ESCM), which went public in 1996 and achieved a valuation of more than $1 billion and a return on investment of more than X100. 

We firmly believe that the preponderance of higher education in Israel, combined with the country's robust entrepreneurial spirit and strong ties with the USA, Europe, and Asia, provide a backdrop that is ideally suited to the development of unique and exciting multidisciplinary technologies. This is most clearly demonstrated by the fact that Israeli companies traded on the NASDAQ outperformed the NASDAQ 100 and exhibited more aggressive growth than the grouped securities of any other country in recent years.

Denali Ventures has the experience, skill and determination to discover the technologies that will dominate in the coming millenium, and to finance such technologies while actively helping to develop the management teams, strategic alliances and business models around such technologies.
