Yaniv Jacobi

Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Horizon Capital (formerly known as Oryzn Capital), leading a dedicated team of passionate, forward-thinking investors supporting early-stage startups. Over the span of 12 remarkable years in the venture capital industry, I've had the privilege of contributing to the strategy, growth, and success of several standout portfolio companies. Notable mentions include Verbit and OwnBackup, achieving Unicorn status — along with successful acquisitions like Appoxee, Ondigo, NonoRep, Blue Ribbon, and more— where I proudly hold a position as a board member. My background in computer science, coupled with a deep understanding of strategic partnerships and startup ecosystems, equips me to spot and empower innovative, disruptive entrepreneurs. These visionaries are dedicated to tackling real-world challenges with cutting-edge technology. In every aspect of my work, I hold dear the values of honesty, collaboration, and unwavering optimism, endeavoring to infuse them into every fund, partnership, or mentoring opportunity I'm fortunate to be a part of.
