Savyon Ventures invests in AI, digital and commerce startups. We chose the name Savyon for our fund as it is the Hebrew name for the plant Senecio vulgaris, also known as Groundsel or old-man-in-the-spring. The eight species of this plant possess characteristics that facilitate their spread: fast growth, self-pollination ability, high energy allocation to reproduction, attractive advertising such as large flower heads, dual pollinator bait with both pollen and nectar and wind dispersal.

Given our focus on the Seed stage, we highly value these traits and work closely with our portfolio companies to leverage them for rapid growth and expansion.
