Like all investors, we have investment preferences and areas of focus that you should know about. For instance, we strongly favor companies that can have network effects (NFX). We focus on companies located in the US, Israel, LatAm, and Europe.
We don't invest in these sectors: semiconductor, medical devices, pure pharma, pure hardware, and network devices.
Learn more about what each NFX Partner is interested in by visiting their Signal profiles: Morgan Beller, Omri Amirav-Drory, Pete Flint, Gigi Levy-Weiss, and James Currier.
