🎉 Exciting Return at lool Ventures – Welcome Back, Maya Szutan-Azoulay! 🎉

We are thrilled to announce that Maya Azoulay is rejoining lool ventures as a Partner, closing a full circle from her early days as a Principal with us. Her journey since—leading roles at HiBob, Venn, and as COO at EX.CO—has been nothing short of remarkable.

On a personal note, Yaniv Golan and myself built lool ventures as
a founder-first, founder-focused value-add fund, We were fortunate, prior to lool, to have built 2 companies that became meaningful in their domain globally and exit them showing great returns to our investors. Our operational entrepreneurial background is in the veins and in the DNA of lool ventures. We are so happy that Maya chose to come back after following our guidance to gain some more operational experience , keeping the door open for her to return.

It’s a rare occasion in the VC industry to identify such talent, passion, and energy early on and to truly close a circle by promoting and growing from within. We are immensely proud to witness and be a part of this journey.

Maya’s dedication to fostering the Israeli tech ecosystem and her profound understanding of startup dynamics will be instrumental as we continue to evolve.

Welcome back, Maya!
