Surround Ventures

Surround Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm founded in 2019 and headquartered in New York, with offices in Los Angeles and Tel Aviv. The firm partners with entrepreneurs leveraging deep tech to build transformative ventures solving complex global challenges, with a particular focus on Israeli-driven technology startups. Historically, its thesis has centered on companies disrupting media, entertainment, sports, and e-commerce, though recent investments — including QuamCore (quantum computing) and Onebeat — reflect a broadening into frontier deep tech sectors. Surround invests at the pre-seed, seed, and Series A stages, with reported check sizes ranging from approximately $1M to $10M. The firm typically co-invests alongside funds such as NFX and Vertex Ventures Israel and has built a portfolio of 25+ companies, including Yotpo, Outbrain, and Wibbitz, with one unicorn, two IPOs, and nine acquisitions to date. Fund size and current vintage are not publicly disclosed; the most recent tracked deployment was a Series A in Onebeat in May 2025. Founders building in Israel or operating across the U.S.–Israel corridor with early traction are likely the strongest fit.
