Co-founded by Nadav Zafrir, the former chief of Israel’s Unit 8200, the Israeli army’s signal intelligence unit, Team8 is backed by Cisco, Microsoft, and Innovation Endeavors.

Mr. Shachar co-founded Pentacom, Infogear, and P-Cube, three companies that were acquired for an aggregated sum of $620 million.

Mr. Shachar served as an advisor and investment partner at Innovation Endeavors since 2013. He was a co-founding partner at Marker LLC investment fund, which in August merged with Innovation Endeavors.

Innovation Endeavors is currently raising $300 million for a new investment fund. The fund will operate offices in Tel Aviv, New York, and in the Silicon Valley. Mr. Shahar will maintain his title as co-founding partner of the new fund, but will not have an active role in its operation. Eric Schmidt will stay as a co-founding partner and main investor.
