Overview

OXen9 is a venture capital firm established in 2017 and based in Beer Sheva, Israel. The firm focuses on supporting visionary founders by providing both financial and strategic assistance to help scale their businesses. OXen9 identifies companies with unique potential and breakthrough technologies, primarily investing in sectors such as food tech, agrotech, nanotech, enterprise software, mobile, and new media. Through its investments, OXen9 aims to guide these companies toward their next stage of growth. OXen9's investment strategy is marked by a hands-on approach that allows them to maintain control and influence over business operations, emphasizing a short ROI period, usually between 6 to 48 months, with an average exit at 24 months. The firm commonly exits at the next funding stage, though they may also co-invest with other leading funds in some cases. Their investment focus spans food tech and agrotech (primary focus), nanotechnology, enterprise software, as well as mobile and new media. OXen9 operates globally, with a presence in Australia and Brazil, in addition to their headquarters in Israel. The firm boasts a unique and practical approach, starting with a strong deal flow generated by collaborations with VCs, private equity firms, and leading angels. A thorough partnership and due diligence process evaluates all business aspects, laying the groundwork for scaling the company and leading it to market leadership. Ultimately, they prepare for a successful secondary or exit stage by inviting relevant VCs, private equity, and corporations to join and guide the transition during the handover of the company.
