Picture Capital

Picture Capital is a venture fund established in 2024, primarily focusing on early-stage technology companies. The firm strategically invests in Israeli startups within high-tech fields, including cybersecurity, enterprise applications, and network management software. Their investment thesis emphasizes backing businesses operating at the intersection of technology and culture, aiming to support the next generation of iconic, culture-defining companies.

The firm was founded by a group of seasoned cybersecurity veterans: Mickey Boodaei, Dan Amiga, Rakesh Loonkar, and Mike Fey. Rather than seeking external institutional capital, the founders pooled their own significant resources to support Israeli technology companies, particularly during periods of market downturn. This self-funded model allows Picture Capital to make nimble investment decisions and maintain a long-term strategic outlook without the constraints of traditional venture fund structures.

Picture Capital's portfolio includes notable investments such as ScaleOps, Bold Security, and Upwind Security. The firm has also co-led the seed round for Legion, a cybersecurity firm, and invested in Cortanix, another security startup. These investments highlight Picture Capital's commitment to fostering growth and innovation across critical technology sectors.

The founding partners bring extensive domain expertise from their backgrounds in cybersecurity, providing portfolio companies with not only essential capital but also invaluable strategic guidance and access to a robust industry network. The firm operates with a lean team, enabling a focused and hands-on approach to supporting the development and success of its investments.
