The next technology cycle belongs to intelligent systems. The founders building the infrastructure, applications, and trust architecture are raising their first rounds in Israel today. Fortunity® is how Europe gets in.
The thesis
AI is moving beyond chatbots and tools into systems that can interpret, decide, and act on their own. This is not simply another wave of software. It is a technological revolution that will reshape how industries operate. As it unfolds, the most important breakthroughs will lie in the foundations that make intelligent systems possible, the technologies that apply them to real-world problems, and the trust layer that makes them safe to deploy at scale. This is how we identify where real disruption is taking place.
The framework
The building block layer
Compute, sensing, and data infrastructure. Breakthroughs here expand what becomes possible to build next.
The solutions layer
Autonomous systems, agentic platforms, physical AI, and robotics. This is where new capabilities become solutions to real problems.
The trust layer
Security, identity, and resilience. This is what makes intelligent systems secure enough to adopt, operate, and trust at scale.
Why Israel
Israeli founders emerge from a rare combination of technical depth, operational intensity, and entrepreneurial ambition. Elite units such as 8200, Talpiot, and Unit 81 train engineers to take ownership and solve problems where failure is not an option. Institutions such as the Technion and Weizmann deepen that talent through world-class research, while Israel’s startup culture transforms ideas into breakthrough solutions. Over decades, that combination has repeatedly produced globally relevant companies. That advantage is why Fortunity® invests exclusively in Israel.

The filter
No proprietary moat, no structural advantage.
We invest below the application layer, not above it.
Every company must have a credible global exit path.
If it cannot reach commercial traction within our cycle, we pass.
