All three have extensive experience in founding and managing startups, and have led Glilot’s funds to impressive achievements over the last decade. Glilot is the only Israeli fund that has been ranked four times by international research company Preqin as the best performing fund worldwide
Glilot+ is led by Lior Litwak, who joins Glilot as managing partner after serving as Partner at M12, Microsoft’s venture fund.
Samboursky said, "After a successful decade, we are expanding our activity and will now be able to support leading companies at every stage of their growth."
