August 5, 2018 | PitchBook, a global financial data and software company that provides the PitchBook Platform, a suite of award-winning software applications, announced its list of top 13 VC investors in Israel.

At the top of the list is OurCrowd, the leading equity crowdfunding platform based in Jerusalem led by serial entrepreneur and CEO Jon Medved, with 32 deals.

VC firms Magma Venture Partners, Pitango Venture Capital, and Vertex Ventures Israel take the next three spots with 17 deals for each. This is followed by Jerusalem Venture Partners and Keiretsu Forum with 16 deals each.
