"Six years after raising our first fund and two years after raising our third fund, we are happy to announce that we have raised our fourth fund, TLV Partners IV," wrote Shahar Tzafrir, Managing Partner at TLV Partners. "Our fourth fund is $220m, and we are setting out to continue our strategy from the previous three funds: backing visionary Israeli entrepreneurs from the Seed, A, and onwards stages.

"In addition to TLV Partners IV, we are also announcing a $100m opportunity fund — TLV Opportunity II. This fund, which is dedicated solely to our portfolio companies, will enable us to support our founders deeper into their journey, thus cementing us as long-term partners from the outset."
