Rami Beracha Shares That Although Covid-19 Has Wrought Havoc on the Economy, It’s Also Created Many Business Opportunities

Rami Beracha believes that although the last two years since the Coronavirus hit have been economically challenging, many business opportunities are to be found. Beracha recommends searching for endeavors in the digital world that will thrive as long as Covid lasts and survive after it dies down. Beracha has heeded his own advice and proceeded with two promising business ventures despite the ever-changing Covid-19 economy.

Beracha’s life has taught him to exploit crises and find opportunities in the darkest of times. He’s not afraid of challenges and believes that this period is full of enterprises worth taking advantage of. According to Rami, any crisis is a chance for a new beginning; he sees the Covid as a psychological crisis that has paralyzed many.

After years of promoting the Israeli high-tech industry, Rami was ready to go global. So, along with his business partners, he founded Eden Block, a new venture capital investment fund based in the West End in London. Eden Block focuses on supporting Blockchain technology and Crypto network startup companies. The fund’s vision is to push the world forward into the digital age by finding and investing in innovative and revolutionary blockchain start-ups.

Aside from London, Beracha has other international plans and has expressed great interest in starting a venture capital fund in Dubai. Ever since Israel and the United Arab Emirates signed the Abraham Accords, Rami has been excited to invest in the Middle Eastern market. He plans to call his Dubai-based fund Ender Ventures. His mission will be to connect Israeli and European investors with United Arab Emirates high-tech companies that specialize in VR, robotics, AI, and more.

Rami shares- "I see a great opportunity in forging a connection with the Arab world, and this has strengthened following the peace agreement with the Emirates. The accumulated experience of Israeli high-tech can accelerate the development of innovation in the Emirates. The UAE has a unique outlook on business. It will most likely draw many companies to its doors in the next few years due to low business tax and very business-friendly legislation.”

Rami Beracha Shares His Secret to Success

According to Rami, when choosing a dream to pursue, one should take time and make sure it’s right before making drastic moves. It’s crucial to be genuinely passionate about your plans and believe in yourself. Otherwise, you won’t succeed. Never go forward with a venture you don’t believe in, and don’t be afraid to make changes even after you’ve begun. It is always wiser to change things early on than invest time and money in something you aren’t happy with.

Beracha developed his unique outlook from experience. After his time in the army, he got his degree in law. But after working in a Wall Street law firm for a short while, Rami realized that it wasn’t for him and changed gears completely. He then discovered his love for business and decided to take the plunge, leaving New York for France, where he completed his MBA.

Soon after graduation, Beracha began a successful career at Pitango, Israel’s largest venture capital fund. In just a few years, he was named managing partner and led the fund in investing in over 200 up-and-coming Israeli high-tech startups. Rami aided many of these startups in making successful exits to some of the world’s biggest companies like Marvel, Microsoft, Broadcom, and Apple.

Since then, Beracha has continued to innovate, founding Sosa in 2014. Sosa is based in New York and Tel Aviv and works to support promising new Israeli high-tech companies, helping them partner with investors across the globe.

How Rami Conquered His Challenging Past

Despite Rami’s current success, life hasn’t always been easy for him. When he was eighteen, Beracha joined the IDF and trained to be a paratrooper in the Lebanon War. After the war, he completed his officer training, and in 1983 was part of a rescue team sent to help wounded soldiers in an active land-minefield. There, in one moment, Rami’s life changed. While attempting to help another soldier, he stepped on a landmine and lost his right hand and left leg.

Rami’s time in the hospital was the most challenging of his entire life. Being bedridden caused him to fall into depression. Young Rami’s hopes of continuing his military career turned to dust, and he no longer recognized himself. But one day, something changed, and Rami found the strength to keep going and the drive to create a new future for himself.

Rami’s never-give-up attitude has served him in both business and personal life and helped him overcome unimaginable loss. After rehabilitating, Rami returned to his first passion in life: sports. His love for athletics led Rami to try everything from cycling and snowboarding to hiking up Mount Kilimanjaro. Rami refuses to let being an amputee stop him from leading an active life and continues learning new things and evolving.

  One of Rami’s favorite sports is kitesurfing. He has become so good at it that in 2010 he traveled to Panama for a kitesurfing and SAP boarding trip. By attaching his prosthetic leg and arm to the surfing equipment and to his body, Rami learned to stand on the surfboard like a pro.

He shared in 2008, "At first I was very angry after getting injured. But over time my anger calmed down and was replaced with acceptance. What encouraged me was the knowledge that no matter what I choose to do in life, because of my disability, it will be harder for me than others, but it will also be more challenging and more interesting. For anyone learning to kitesurf, the moment you manage to stand on the surfboard for the first time is an exciting moment. And when you have no leg and no hand, it’s an even more special moment."

Rami Beracha to Launch Pioneering Dubai Investment Fund

Israeli investor and entrepreneur Rami Beracha is on his way to opening a new investment fund in the United Arab Emirates. Beracha, who worked for years at the Pitango Venture Capital fund, which recorded over eighty exits worth about two billion dollars during his time, is in advanced talks with banks and financial institutions in the UAE to launch the fund.

Israeli venture capitalist Rami Beracha, who worked for the Pitango Investment Fund for over twenty years, is currently initiating the establishment of a new international venture capital investment fund in the United Arab Emirates called Ender Ventures. 

The new investment fund aims to connect companies and local entrepreneurs, create a global renewal center in the Persian Gulf state, and position the UAE as a center of excellence. The goals and aspirations of the investment fund, according to Calcalist, are to invest in cyber and advanced technology in the fields of artificial intelligence, quantum computing, virtual reality and cloud infrastructure, robots, skimmers, image processing, sensors, and more.

Rami Beracha hopes to build on past investment success

Beracha has built a successful investment portfolio in communication technology did not come to the world of venture capital investments from the world of finance or technology, but rather from law school. 

Beracha began his studies in Tel Aviv, continued in New York, and then did a master's degree in business administration at INSEAD University in France. With a different and refreshing background in the venture capital landscape, Beracha joined the Pitango Fund in 1996, after a stint on Wall Street. 

He began his career at the firm as an employee, and in 2000, he became a partner. Most of the investments that Beracha made during his years in the fund were in the field of communications - with an emphasis on the field of chips. Now, he is set to be one of the first Israeli investors in the UAE, in what appears to be another economic move led on par with groundbreaking moves in the past.

Peace agreement opens new economic corridor between Israel and UAE

When it comes to economic investment in the UAE in general and Dubai in particular, it seems that Israel and its investment pioneers, like Rami Beracha, are about to enter a well-oiled machine that works well, and according to experts' forecasts, should continue to grow and develop in the coming years. It is the emerging economy of the UAE that has made the country an attractive destination for investors from all over the world. 

The "Abraham Accords," the recently signed peace agreement between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, opened a window to many economic possibilities for Israeli investors in the country and lay the foundations for the establishment of extensive economic ties between the countries. 

Israeli investors are entering a large, powerful, attractive and efficient market. The UAE and Dubai attract many investors from all over the world to the Gulf principalities. The areas of investment in the country are many and varied - from real estate through tourism to technology.

Dubai: Playground for foreign investors

The "Desert Jewel", as many call Dubai, is an innovative and even futuristic city adorned with tall buildings, including the tallest tower in the world - Burj Khalifa, that offers many attractions, luxury shopping, festivals, and popular and well-known sporting events like Formula 1.

The pearl of the UAE attracts many investors from all over the world, and across the UAE itself. The country offers economic benefits to attract foreign investors including a law that allows 100% foreign ownership of companies and the issuance of a ten-year residence visa to foreign investors.

According to data from the World Bank, GDP at current prices in the UAE has risen by about 45% in the last decade. The UAE is ranked 11th in the world according to the Ease of Doing Business report for 2019 and first place in the Mediterranean region.

Additionally, the UAE has adopted a policy of bureaucratic relief, certainly compared to Western European and US countries, to attract foreign investors. Taxation in the Gulf state is also very attractive, allowing investors outside the country to enjoy full tax exemption on profits and investments, an exceptional benefit in relation to leading markets in Europe and the US. 

Beracha’s powerful investment record

Beracha, who lost his left leg and right hand when he stepped on a mine in Lebanon during the first Lebanon war in 1983, has not let the severe injury stop him from pursuing difficult and demanding sports like sailing and kitesurfing or excelling in his professional life. He has invested a lot of time, energy and resources to support organizations that accompany and assist the wounded and disabled in the IDF. 

He accelerated through the ranks of the Pitango Fund, which was crowned the largest venture capital fund in Israel in 2009, to become one of the fund's partners. He was chosen as the ‘Esteemed Partner’ for 2011 in a survey conducted among entrepreneurs and managers of start-up companies in Israel on the Globes website. 

Among the most successful and prominent exit deals achieved by Beracha include the sale of Convergin to Oracle for $80 million, the sale of Dion Networks to Broadcom for $180 million, and the sale of MobileAccess to Corning Incorporated worth $ 180 million. 

Rami Beracha has been working as a private investor in start-up companies since 2018. The investment funds he managed during his activity recorded returns of twenty percent per year and a threefold return on investment.

Beracha currently serves as chairman of SOSA, which provides innovative models for advanced technological solutions at two global high-tech centers, New York and Tel Aviv.
