Eight of the 20 companies he has invested in have already become unicorns. His portfolio companies are valued at over $60 billion. And now, Omri Casspi - Israel’s first-ever NBA player - has raised a new $250 million fund through his venture capital firm Swish Ventures, bringing its total funding to $800 million. The fund, backed by US pension funds, leading American universities, and Sequoia Capital, will invest in approximately 12 early-stage startups across cybersecurity, AI, defense, and government technology. “We want to be the most meaningful partners to the world’s leading entrepreneurs,” Casspi said. From the basketball court to the boardroom - Israeli excellence knows no limits. 🇮🇱💡
