Shlomo Kalish Is/Was the Alpha Male of This VC
Fund: Jerusalem Global Ventures
Posted by chompyZ on 2007-03-24
Shlomo Kalish, the prominent person behind this fund, is an "outsider" in the Israeli local VC industry. He used to be much more aggressive than his colleagues, and used to go into "internet" start-ups and alike which were looked at as forbidden animals by most Israeli VCs. In other words -€œ he used to be a real venture capital, not some "executive" like most other venture capitalists. However, with the burst of the bubble, he was crucified by the local press, along with the fall of a floppy VC he founded and promoted (Yazam.com ). After that, he lost all his confidence, but I hear he is back in the business now, maybe a bit more mature, but I hope he preserved his aggressive attitude and not adopted a sleek venture capital attitude like most others.
