Aleph Venture Capital has appointed Aaron Rosenson as partner, the first not to have been part of the firm’s founding team.
Rosenson joins Aleph as its third equal partner effective immediately, three years after Eden Shochat and Michael Eisenberg founded the fund. He joins the fund from Insight Venture Partners where he was an associate responsible for identifying some of Insight’s most promising investments, including deals such as Docker, HelloFresh, Moat, Gainsight and Illuminate Education.
“We are thrilled to welcome Aaron as our third partner,” says Shochat. “Aaron shares Aleph’s core values and hallmark qualities: a tireless work ethic on behalf of entrepreneurs; business ethics; transparency and service to entrepreneurs and community.”
As an equal partner, Rosenson will lead investments in startups and leverage his expertise to help develop the Israeli startup ecosystem and bring the companies to more mature stages. During his time at Insight Venture Partners, Rosenson also led M&A strategy and business development efforts on behalf of portfolio companies, and served as an advisor to a number of Insight’s CEOs.
“We trust that Aaron’s relevance to young entrepreneurs and his global outlook brings another set of skills, networks and perspective to Aleph and Israel,” adds Michael Eisenberg, Founding Partner of Aleph VC.
“This is an exciting time to join Aleph, as the fund is fueling some of the hottest startups the country has ever seen,” says Rosenson, “I deeply identify with Aleph’s core values and the firm Eden and Michael have built. Aleph’s vision to build scalable companies out of Israel matches my broad experience with both early and growth stage companies. I am confident that Israeli entrepreneurs who are looking to scale their companies will benefit from Aleph’s varied experiences and perspectives.”
