Remagine Ventures has raised a new $25 million fund at a moment when most investors in Israel are slowing down. Even as the Israel-Hamas war disrupts daily life and business activity, the Tel Aviv firm moved ahead and closed its second pre-Seed fund to back AI startups shaping the digital economy.
The fund targets founders building the core layers of AI, from infrastructure to agents and applications. It is backed by strategic investors and senior executives across North America, Europe, and Asia. Despite the turmoil of the last two years, the firm has already placed 12 bets from this new vehicle.
Some of the early picks include Troup AI, an infrastructure startup helping teams scale AI workloads; Keewano.com, a gaming analytics agent; and Bridge, a platform that automates post-sales work for enterprise teams. Several of these companies have already attracted follow-on capital from global heavyweights like Andreessen Horowitz, General Catalyst, and Insight Partners, placing the firm’s approach under a bright spotlight.
Eze Vidra, Co-founder and Managing Partner at Remagine Ventures, said the team has always tracked where people spend their time and money online. That thinking pulled them into generative AI long before the current boom. Vidra noted that the firm backed HourOne in 2019, long before most investors took AI seriously. With AI adoption now accelerating and hyperscalers racing to expand model infrastructure, the fund is widening its lens to cover the full digital economy and the way people work, play, and live inside software.
Vidra founded Remagine Ventures in 2018 with Kevin Baxpehler. Their goal was to write the first institutional checks for Israeli founders at the earliest stage, when product ideas are still forming and teams are moving fast. The second fund builds on that approach, stretching beyond the firm’s original ties to media, entertainment, gaming, and commerce.
Baxpehler described the landscape as a moment similar to the early internet. He pointed to new “rails” forming across data centers, chips, model platforms, and the heavy infrastructure required to power AI. That wave, he said, is opening new opportunities for startups that can optimize infrastructure, deploy intelligent agents that remove repetitive work, and build applications that drive clear outcomes for businesses and consumers. He believes Israeli founders are well positioned to lead this shift because of their deep technical roots and their ability to move with speed.
The second Remagine Ventures fund is built around three themes: AI infrastructure, AI agents, and AI-powered applications designed to deliver measurable results. It will invest in both enterprise and consumer startups, keeping the focus on teams that can build fast, adapt quickly, and push the boundaries of the AI-driven economy.
The broader goal is clear. As AI reshapes every layer of software, Remagine Ventures wants to be the earliest backer of the founders who will define the next wave of global companies.
