Pitango Silicon Valley

Pitango Venture Capital began investing in Israeli entrepreneurs in 1993 under the name Polaris. The first fund was managed by Rami Kalish. In 1996, Rami Kalish teamed up with Chemi Peres, who was the managing director of the Mofet Israel Technology Fund, in order to raise Pitango Fund II. The second investment fund raised $125 million, the first Israel-originated fund to raise more than $100 million. Pitango's Fund II invested in 35 high tech companies-several of which were jointly funded by Eucalyptus Ventures. As a result of that successful co-investing relationship, the managing partners of the two firms merged, and began raising capital for a third independent fund. In early 2000, Fund III closed at $500 million, bringing the funds managed by Pitango to over $700 million.
In 2004, the Pitango team successfully raised Pitango Venture Capital Fund IV, with committed capital in the amount of $300 million, bring the total funds managed by Pitango to over $1 billion.
