Pitango First

Pitango, presented here as Pitango First, is an Israeli venture capital firm that says it has backed founders for decades, investing from seed stage through to initial public offering. Its site highlights portfolio companies including a healthcare hiring automation platform used across many organisations, a company developing treatments aimed at the underlying causes of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and firms working in artificial intelligence, quantum computing and industrial applications of AI. It points to recent funding rounds involving companies it has backed as examples of its portfolio's progress. Founders quoted on the site describe Pitango as an early seed-round investor and adviser that shared their long-term vision, helped connect them to customers, partners and experienced leaders, and continued supporting them as their companies scaled. The firm describes its own team as having built, scaled and backed companies through every stage of growth.
