About Us
We are bold investors in early-stage climate & energy tech.
NetZero is today the foremost early-stage investor and venture builder in Israeli climate and energy deep tech.
We have a venture-building approach which includes identifying promising hard science technologies from leading academic labs and creating robust companies around them, as well as investing in young companies where the core team is already in place.
We can take bold strides in green tech where others can’t – thanks to our partnership with the Israel Innovation Authority that allows us to effectively mitigate the risks associated with early-stage deep tech investments.
We concentrate on hard science solutions that leverage our stakeholders’ core competencies

A New Venture Building Model
We go beyond traditional VCs, generating a comprehensive platform for deep tech climate innovation:
Strategic capital deployment
Significant equity investment, also as part of the IIA Incubator Track 4 program detailed here, with potential follow–ons and intros to our network of global investors as the venture grows.
Hands-on venture building
We identify promising hard science technologies from leading academic labs and transform them into scalable companies, connecting them with exceptional entrepreneurs, and providing the initial influx of capital.
Partnership building
We take an active role in every venture—working closely with founders to unlock strategic design-partnership opportunities through our partners’ networks.
Prototyping infrastructure
We provide our companies with access to infrastructure to expedite prototyping development, including advanced chemistry labs, a dedicated dry room and workspaces, in collaboration with the National Institute for Energy Storage and Bar-Ilan University.
De-risking early-stage investments in climate deep tech
Our unique status with the Israel Innovation Authority as an Incubator allows us to unlock substantial public funds as an integral part of our investments in ventures. This effectively enables us to mitigate the risk involved with investing in early-stage climate deep tech ventures.
This vehicle enables global corporations and venture funds to be involved in climate tech ventures with ambitious R&D cycles that others usually have to shy away from.
