Founded in 2003, Ibex Investors is a US-based alternative investment manager and venture capital firm headquartered in Denver, Colorado, with additional offices in Israel and New York. The firm has built a reputation through its focus on the Israeli market and the mobility sector, seeking returns with strategies that are not closely tied to mainstream trends. Ibex Investors covers all stages of a company’s lifecycle, from seed funding through public offerings and later rounds. Founder Justin Borus leads a team of partners across the United States and Israel.
Ibex Investors operates both venture capital and hedge fund vehicles, with typical investments ranging from $2 million to $30 million per transaction. While its thematic priorities include enterprise software, cybersecurity, and mobility, the firm’s mandates can extend to other areas as opportunities arise. The team aims to bring more than just capital to its portfolio companies, offering strategic guidance and resources designed to enhance growth. Geographic concentrations in the US and Israeli markets combine with a willingness to explore sectors that other investors might overlook.
Commitments in environmental technology and battery development reflect Ibex Investors’ broader interest in sustainable mobility solutions. In July 2024, it led a $10 million seed round for CarbonBlue, which developed a water-based system for removing carbon dioxide from industrial plumes and integrating capture facilities into existing water treatment plants. The firm also backed Chemix with a $20 million Series A, supporting its artificial intelligence–driven laboratory platform for accelerating next-generation electric vehicle battery research. Both investments illustrate the firm’s involvement in innovations that support cleaner, more efficient transportation.
