QP Ventures Research
Investment Thesis
QP Ventures (QPV) is the venture arm of Quantum Pacific, the family office and investment group tied to Idan Ofer. The firm positions itself as a radical force multiplier for tenacious founders, built by entrepreneurs and LPs who have lived the founder journey themselves. QPV's stated identity is patient, alignment-first capital: it is structured as an evergreen fund with no fixed time horizon, explicitly to avoid the pressure of a typical VC fundraising cycle. The team describes itself as being in the trenches with founders rather than sitting above them, and frames its relationships with entrepreneurs as multi-decade partnerships rather than transactional deals.
Sector Focus
QPV is a broad early-stage generalist rather than a single-vertical fund. Its site groups portfolio and thesis material across nineteen labeled sector tags: SpaceTech, Defense, DefenseTech, AI Infrastructure, Consumer Products, Cyber Security, Automotive Aftermarket, AI, Sportswear, EdTech, Security, Media, Artificial Intelligence, FinTech, Blockchain, CarbonTech, Gaming, Sports, and Collectibles. In practice the live portfolio skews heavily toward cybersecurity/insider-risk (Above Security, Reclaim Security, Pi Security), AI infrastructure and applied AI (Majestic Labs, Fundamental, Loora, Motormia, ZyG), and deep-tech/aerospace (Stoke Space, AIRCO), with a smaller consumer/lifestyle sleeve (R.A.D. performance footwear, Draftea real-money gaming). The firm's ties into Quantum Pacific's broader holdings (shipping, sports franchises such as Atlético de Madrid and Aston Martin Racing) also show up as adjacent thematic interest in sports and consumer brands.
Stage Focus
QPV backs "audacious founders at Seed and Series A, throughout the globe," per its own homepage messaging. Third-party trackers (SeedVCList, IsraelVC, Caplight) consistently describe QPV as investing from pre-seed/seed through Series A, and note it has led Series A rounds (e.g. Loora) as well as participated as part of larger syndicates at Series A (Majestic Labs, ZyG, Above Security).
Check Size
No check-size range is published on the site or in third-party trackers found during this pass. Round sizes QPV has participated in span from an ~$7M seed (Above Security) to $12M and $22M rounds (Loora Series A/B) up to $60M-$100M Series A rounds (ZyG, Majestic Labs), consistent with a firm that both leads smaller Seed/Series A checks and takes smaller allocations inside larger syndicated Series A rounds.
Lead Tendency
Mixed. QPV led Loora's $12M Series A (Feb 2024) but was a syndicate participant, not lead, in the larger 2025-2026 rounds for Majestic Labs, ZyG, and Above Security, and in Loora's later $22M Series B (led by Union Tech Ventures). This is consistent with an evergreen, capital-flexible fund that leads selectively and otherwise rides alongside larger institutional investors.
Recent Activity
QPV has been active through 2025 and 2026: it backed Majestic Labs' ~$100M stealth-exit AI-infrastructure raise (Nov 2025), participated in ZyG's $60M Series A at a $500M valuation alongside Accel (May 2026), appears as a participant in Above Security's Series A cyber round, and remained in Loora's cap table through its Series B (Sept 2026) despite a new lead investor. No new-fund announcement was found during this pass.
Portfolio Highlights
Notable active portfolio companies: Stoke Space (reusable rockets, since raised a $1B Series E from other investors), Majestic Labs (AI server infrastructure, ~$100M raised), ZyG (agentic D2C commerce OS, $60M Series A, $500M valuation), Loora (AI English-speaking tutor, now through a Series B), Above Security, Reclaim Security, and Pi Security (cybersecurity/insider-risk cluster), AIRCO (energy security tech), Fundamental (tabular foundation models), Motormia (AI automotive modding assistant), R.A.D. (performance footwear), and Draftea (real-money gaming in Latin America). Two additional positions are listed on the site only as unnamed stealth companies.

Decision Process
Not explicitly disclosed. The four-Partner structure (Ofer, Singh, Robins/Investor title, Waksman) alongside a Venture Partner and Advisor suggests a small-partnership decision process rather than a solo-GP or large investment-committee model.
Founder Preferences
QPV's own language emphasizes "tenacious" and "audacious" founders, and a preference for long-term, deeply aligned relationships over one-off deals. Portfolio composition suggests a strong pull toward technical/repeat founders in deep tech, AI infrastructure, and cybersecurity (e.g., ZyG's founders are ironSource alumni), alongside occasional consumer/lifestyle bets tied to the Quantum Pacific network.
Geographic Focus
Global, with a clear Israel/Tel Aviv center of gravity in the team and a large share of the portfolio (Above Security, Loora, Reclaim Security, ZyG, and the two stealth positions are Tel Aviv-based), plus a meaningful US presence (Palo Alto, Kent WA, New York, Arizona) and scattered positions in Europe (London) and Latin America (Mexico City).
