Analyse your fitInvestment thesis
83North is a global venture capital firm with over $2.4 billion under management that invests in European and Israeli entrepreneurs creating global, category-leading businesses. Founded in 2006 (formerly Greylock IL), the firm operates from London and Tel Aviv and invests across the US, Europe, and Israel in sectors including enterprise software, AI/ML, fintech, cybersecurity, healthtech, and marketplaces. The firm's philosophy is rooted in the belief that venture capital is not a scalable business: four equal partners work hands-on with a select number of companies, relying on word of mouth and referrals from their own entrepreneurs. As stated on their site: 'We raise relatively small funds. We think this is in the best interests of our entrepreneurs and investors. We don't rush to invest and are deeply involved with our companies, while building close and long-term relationships with entrepreneurs.' In September 2025, 83North announced its final fund — deliberately choosing not to pursue succession — bringing total capital available for new investments to approximately $400 million.
Notable quotes
“Entrepreneurs hate two things: slow processes and not talking to decision-makers. How do you do that with large funds? Some of our peers, you meet the partner, then the CEO has to work with principals and analysts and all these titles that even after 20 years I don't know what they do.”
“We continue to invest in all stages, where we work side-by-side with founding teams to build companies and help them scale globally. Our model gives us access to some of the best talent in the world, meaning that we can add value by exposing entrepreneurs to the best practices in each domain.”
“Since our founding in 2006, our approach has always been clear: raise relatively small funds, be a true partner to our entrepreneurs and build lasting relationships. Our lean operation of four equal partners has enabled us to make quick, transparent decisions while remaining deeply involved with our companies.”
