NFX is a venture firm exclusively focused on pre-seed & seed stage startups.

Silicon Valley has its "wartime CEO" model for tough times.

But in Israel, it's the real deal.

Gigi Levy-Weiss asked a dozen Wartime CEOs of multi-billion-dollar companies in Israel to share their experiences for the benefit of startup founders everywhere. 

The result: "The Wartime CEO: 9 Leadership Principles for Strong Startups" (https://lnkd.in/gzBNEEvd)

Leadership forged in fire...

🙏 to these Israel CEOs for participating: 

Avishai Abrahami
Oz Alon 
Chen Amit
Oriel Bachar
Tomer Bar-Zeev
Liron Damri
Shimon Elkabetz
Zeev Farbman  
Eynat Guez
Shlomo Kramer
Yoni Assia

War doesn't make leaders. It reveals those who were leaders all along.

That's why it's our aim that every startup founder/CEO can use the mental models of The Wartime CEO to become even stronger leaders -- in good times and in bad -- without going through actual war to learn it.

Why are we doing this?

NFX has two homes: SF and Israel. We have always invested from day one in Israel's future unicorns. Now we aim to do even more.

The last year has taken a toll on Israel’s startup economy – first judicial reform politics, a global slowdown, then war – all of which caused a slowdown in new companies and funding. But Startup Nation is a country of resilient entrepreneurs who are still building during tough times.

That’s why we’re offering this funding opportunity – to kickstart your efforts, and ensure Israel's position as one of the leading startup ecosystems worldwide.

It’s rare in 2024 to find a consumer-facing software business with network effects. And this one will positively change how people interact with each other in real life and enjoy the towns they live in.

Park & Rec departments have been stuck with clunky and outdated systems built decades ago. 

Rec changes that with a modern platform designed to help cities drive more usage and revenue from their facilities. 

Lauren Forristal at TechCrunch covers why we led their $6.2M seed round along with Long Journey Ventures, Precursor Ventures, and others:

NFX operates as a pre-seed & seed stage investor that is transforming how true innovators are funded for entrepreneurs. They believe that creating something of true significance starts with seeing things others do not. As Founders, they reinvented industries with this mindset. As investors, their approach is no different. They do this by asking ourselves one question - ideally, how should the startup experience work for Founders, both NFX and the whole ecosystem.

NFX lens is always through the eyes of the Founder. The firm approach is to first build an early-stage experience for all Founders that is powered by more software. Second, to bring the founders they back exponential yet little-known techniques for network effects and growth. Third, to make visible the typically seen methods of technology's most impactful companies.

Having built 10 companies with more than $10 billion in exits across multiple industries and geographies, they're entrepreneurs first because they're entrepreneurs first. And they are determined to guard the backs of the next generation of fearless founders.
