Bio

Ziv joined the team in 2024 to cover strategic and venture investments in Israel. She is passionate about identifying innovative startups and supporting them from their early days.

Ziv has a diverse background in both law and venture capital. She stated her career as a consultant for the Chief Justice and President of the Israeli Supreme Court, Meir Shamgar, then she joined an early-stage venture capital firm focusing on AI and SaaS companies. After that, Ziv completed a legal internship at Pearl Cohen — a leading law firm in Israel focusing on early stage-startups, company initiation and VC transactions — and was admitted to the Israeli Bar in 2021. Following this, Ziv returned to her venture capital passion and joined Gefen Capital, a US-Israeli VC firm investing in Israel, where she invested in over a dozen startups across multiple industries.

Ziv holds an LLB in law and a BA in Government, Diplomacy and Strategy from Reichman University. She lives in Tel Aviv and is active in non-profit organizations: she co-founded a community of young women in VC and leads an Israeli tech and business community. In her free time, Ziv enjoys surfing and travelling.
