About us
OUR VISION As a young and dynamic company with a spirit of entrepreneurship, we look first and foremost at the vision leading the entrepreneur. We believe that we should be investing in people, first and foremost. We strive to invest in companies led by entrepreneurs capable of envisioning and growing great companies with products and/or services meeting real market needs in large and growing markets. We seek companies with profound deep tech creating durable barriers to entry by the competition, thus gaining a sustainable hedge for the long-term and making a real impact on the world. We are less interested in companies whose products and/or services may become a commodity in short order. As a leading venture capital fund, Champel Capital’s responsibility accompanies every investment we make. Alongside our global standards for protecting social and environmental elements, we implement active Impact Investing as part of our asset allocation. It’s all about creating value, both financial and social. We like doing well by doing good, to all: our LPs, our companies and their founders and employees, our own employees, and of course, our partners. Our clients enjoy a wealth of flexibility. Investing in our Champel Capital Impact Deep Tech Fund grants the diversification and professional management of their capital in the Israeli VC space. Alternatively, our clients can opt to invest directly in specific companies through SPVs, with the luxury to pick and choose a precise investment. Our clients fully maintain their power of decision on every single deal, both in terms of ticket size and whether to add money on each subsequent round.

The past year has clearly been the worst year in modern Jewish history, at least since 1973 and the Yom Kippur War. The global outpouring of antisemitism, Jew-hatred, is frankly reminiscent of the 1930s and it is very, very scary. Yet, tonight we are starting Hanukkah, the festival of light, and we are reminded that "a little light dispels much darkness". We are a people of good, whose god-given task in this world is to bring forth good, building, hope, lovingkindness, righteousness, steadfastness, resilience and godliness. There is a very clear reason why this small people, the Jewish people, is at the epicenter of all these great upheavals, generation after generation. Also in innovation, business, technology, development, we are at the front and there is a reason why Jews, both in Israel and in the world, lead in these fields. And for all the doomsayers, let us say this, loud and clear: we are only beginning! The innovation that will sprout forth from this war and this crisis will be more daring, astonishing and amazing than ever before and we will bring a blessing to the entire human race. Haters are going to hate but we are moving forward and building a better world for all of those who wish to live in a better world. The light will dispel darkness, indeed, and we, at Champel Capital, will take advantage of the rebound to generate returns from the light. Happy Hannukah to everyone!

Partnering with Netivei Israel | נתיבי ישראל, the largest road operator in Israel managing highways and traffic lights, is a major milestone for ITC - Intelligent Traffic Control.

A great post from Amir Weitmann, our managing partner, about our portfolio company, Lynxight !
Yesterday, I went to check the deployment of the Lynxight system in the famous "Jerusalem Pool", in the Bakaa neighborhood of Jerusalem. The pool was rebuilt, renewed and reopened last December and is a really great place, with also a great gym, etc. Amazing and modern facilities with everything you can dream of. I am being told serious people go there on a regular basis... without giving out names! I had a long chat with the manager of the pool, Shaul Elkana, who's extremely bullish on the Lynxight system, and explained to me that the running price of the system is very low, the one-time installation cost is also very low, and that the benefits are huge: - First of all, you don't even see the cameras. Therefore, the system is completely seamless and nobody can even notice it. It doesn't bother anybody. From an aesthetic point of view, this is significant. I didn't see this as being very significant before the meeting, but it turns out it's actually important. Aesthetics matter for clients. - Of course, the main value of the system is enhanced security. I am proud and happy to say that we saved one life (another one!) *last week*, in a different pool. This has no price and talking about real impact, it's difficult to do better than this! The feeling is amazing, I have to say! 😊 - It's not only safety, it's the *feeling of safety*. As you can see in the picture I joined to this post, the "Jerusalem Pool" proudly features its usage of the Lynxight's system. Clients and users know that their lives and safety are being taken care of with the utmost seriousness by the pool operator. This counts for them! - As a consequence of what I just wrote in the previous point, the pool is *selling more yearly subscriptions*! Shaul told me that for instance, just a couple of days ago, as a potential customer was touring the pool and the facilities to know whether they are going to make a subscription, he showed her the safety system and that's when the client decided to join. It really only takes 4 (!!!) families to join the pool as clients to recoup the entire cost of the system on a yearly basis. So you get the point: beyond safety, it's an effective way to promote sales. It turns out people actually *like it* when their service providers care about them and about their security and safety. - The dashboard of the system is amazing. I will expend on this later on in a separate post, but you can see at any time the number of people in the pool, the exact location of the swimmers within the pool, and therefore the level of security and crowding in the pool, which is a good indicator of danger and also comfort for the users of the pool. I am very, very proud of Lynxight, the team and their achievements, which are literally growing by the way. We at Champel Capital couldn't be prouder investors and we are happy to call on people to join our club and look into this opportunity, together with us, by dropping me a message!
