Jonathan Medved Biography

Jonathan Medved is a serial entrepreneur and venture capitalist recognized as a pioneering figure in Israel's high-tech industry. Medved is the founder and CEO of OurCrowd, an online global venture investment platform. He has been cited by The Washington Post as one of Israel's leading high-tech venture capitalists, by The New York Times among the top 10 most influential Americans who have impacted Israel, and by The Jerusalem Post as one of the 50 most influential Jews. Medved has spent decades at the forefront of global technology investment. The book "Start-up Nation" describes him as one of Israel's business ambassadors.

Before founding OurCrowd, Medved co-founded Israel Seed Partners, one of Israel's first venture capital funds, which invested in more than 60 companies including Shopping.com, BusinessLayers, Cyota, and Compugen. Medved also served as co-founder and CEO of Vringo, a company focused on the innovation, development, and monetization of mobile technologies and intellectual property, which he led to an initial public offering. Including the OurCrowd portfolio, Medved has backed more than 500 technology startups as a venture capitalist and angel investor.

Medved established OurCrowd with the goal of democratizing venture investing by providing accredited investors with access to private markets. The platform enables smaller, accredited investors to participate in venture deals typically reserved for institutional or high-net-worth individuals. OurCrowd has grown into a global platform with more than 240,000 registered members from 195 countries and over $2.6 billion in commitments. PitchBook has recognized OurCrowd as Israel's most active investor since its inception. Notable portfolio exits include companies such as Beyond Meat, Lemonade, Innoviz, and Hub Security, as well as acquisitions including CyberX by Microsoft.

Medved is a frequent commentator on global technology trends and venture investing, appearing regularly on CNN, BBC, CNBC, Bloomberg TV, and SkyNews, and is often quoted in major business publications. As a keynote speaker, he addresses topics including entrepreneurship, executive leadership, finance, venture capital, business growth, social entrepreneurship, and strategic leadership. Medved has highlighted Israel's resilience in the technology sector, noting continued foreign investment during periods of geopolitical and economic uncertainty, particularly in areas such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and defense.

Following a diagnosis with ALS, Medved transitioned from CEO to chairman of OurCrowd, focusing on strategic initiatives, global expansion, and support for portfolio companies across multiple industries. His contributions to Israel's startup ecosystem and efforts to democratize venture investing continue to influence the global technology landscape.
