Fortissimo Capital

Founded in April 2004 by Yuval Cohen, Shmoulik Barashi, Eli Blatt, Marc Lesnick, Yochai Hacohen, and Yoav Hineman, Fortissimo Capital is an Israel-based private equity firm investing in maturing technology and industrial companies at points of inflection. The organization targets special situations and growth opportunities within Israeli-related global businesses, providing capital and active management changes to drive sustainable long-term value creation. Raising capital commitments from institutional investors like pension funds, endowments, and insurance companies, the firm has accumulated approximately two billion seven hundred million dollars across six investment vehicles. Recent capital generation includes a six hundred fifty million dollar fifth fund and a one billion sixty million dollar sixth fund. This active management strategy has resulted in several notable portfolio exits, including the sales of SodaStream, Kornit Digital, Cadent to Align, and Nur Macroprinters to HP.
