About This Fund
Maniv's third and latest fund, known as Maniv III, continues to focus on an early-stage investment strategy in the intersection between mobility, transportation, and energy. The firm previously had a strong focus on Israeli startups but has now expanded its geographic focus and has active portfolio companies in nine countries. The $140 million fund reflects new goals, including a more diverse group of investors as well as the inclusion of financial investors who see the decarbonization and digitization of all forms of transportation as a trend that generates the best financial returns. The fund includes investors from diverse industries such as leasing, fintech, logistics, vehicle maintenance, energy, fleet management, and repair. Maniv's fund also reflects an evolving investment strategy as the firm is now investing in the broader climate tech world, particularly where it overlaps with transportation. The fund has made investments in companies involved in green hydrogen production, e-motorcycle battery swapping, and the use of post-consumer recycled plastic in manufacturing. Overall, Maniv's fund targets investments in startups and companies that are driving innovation and technological advancements in mobility, transportation, and energy across various sectors and geographies globally. Investors in the fund include BNP Paribas Personal Finance, the venture arms of Shell and Enterprise Mobility, Valeo, Jaguar Land Rover venture arm InMotion Ventures, Toyota Motor Corp.’s Woven Capital, vehicle leasing company Arval, transportation infrastructure giant Ferrovial, the industrial manufacturing firm ITT Inc., fleet payments business WEX and an unnamed European insurance company.
