Hanaco Ventures

𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗼 𝗹𝘂𝗰𝗸𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 Hanaco Ventures 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆! Today, just a few days ahead of Rosh Hashanah, we had a light brunch with the team and our portfolio companies founders to celebrate the great wins of our companies, reflect on the challenges, and most importantly, be together. We raised a glass to those who served in the reserves, remembered the ones we've lost, and wished for a better year ahead—especially for the safe return of the hostages.🎗 This isn’t a year for big parties, but it’s definitely a time to stick together, support each other, and keep pushing forward. Just like family. #ShanaTova 🍎 Alon Lifshitz Tomer Jacob Lior Prosor Hanaco Ventures

Tech Investing: Not as Tricky as You Think Expectation: Wall Street wizards juggling complex algorithms and insider secrets. Reality: You, in pajamas, picking companies that solve real problems. Here's tech investing stripped down: Spot a pain point you've experienced Find a startup tackling it head-on Check if their solution actually works Look at their numbers (or their plan to make them) Invest in their growth story It's like backing the smartest kid in class who's building something cool. "Minimum viable knowledge" for tech investing: Are people using the product? Is usage growing month over month? Can the team execute their vision? Does the market have room for explosive growth? Tools that don't require a finance degree: AngelList: Join syndicates with seasoned investors Republic: Start with as little as $10 in vetted startups ProductHunt: Spot tomorrow's tech winners today Pro tip: Read founder interviews like you're binging your favorite show. Start small, stay curious, and remember – even the pros get it wrong sometimes. Challenge: Explain why a recent tech IPO excited you in three sentences. No jargon allowed. #TechInvesting #VentureCapital #StartupLife #InnovationEconomy

Investment Fitness: Building Your Financial Muscle Think your portfolio needs a workout? You're not alone. Many investors treat their finances like a New Year's resolution - all enthusiasm in January, forgotten by February. But here's the thing: true financial strength isn't about fad diets or get-rich-quick schemes. It's about consistent, smart moves that compound over time. Take risk management. It's not sexy, but it's your financial core. Without it, you're one market hiccup away from a pulled investment muscle. I've seen startups with brilliant ideas crumble because they skipped this crucial step. Diversification? That's your cross-training. Tech's hot today, but what about tomorrow? Spread your bets, not just across sectors, but across stages and geographies. It's how we've weathered storms at Hanaco Ventures. Now, let's talk growth. It's not about lifting the heaviest weight once. It's about steady progression. Find companies disrupting their industries, led by teams that can execute. Then give them time to flex. Remember, every financial titan started somewhere. Even Apple was once a scrappy startup in a garage. The key? They kept at it, adjusted course when needed, and played the long game. So, ready to pump up that portfolio? Start small, stay consistent, and keep pushing. Your future self will thank you for the gains.
