About Rami Beracha

An Israeli venture capitalist, Rami Beracha, is a general partner at Eden Block, a London-based global investment firm focused on foundational infrastructure for the new Open Internet.

Born in Tel Aviv in 1961, Beracha enlisted in the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) in 1980 and served in the Paratroopers Brigade, Battalion 890. During the first war with Lebanon, Beracha fought in the eastern sector as part of an infantry cadet battalion. After the war, he completed his combat officers’ course with the highest distinction – first among 250 special forces cadets – and returned to his unit as a platoon commander in August 1982.

In 1983, while his unit was stationed in the Ein Zhalta area in the Shouf Mountains of Lebanon, he was involved in an operational mission under the command of Battalion 890 commander, Bogie Ya’alon. During the operation, a force led by a Second Lieutenant entered a wild minefield, and three soldiers were wounded by mines they stepped on. Beracha was sent as a rescue force, and during the operation, Beracha stepped on a mine planted inside a terrace. Beracha lost his right hand and left foot, and was seriously injured in his left hand.

After a lengthy rehabilitation period, Beracha returned to military reserve service in an elite unit and continues to serve actively in the reserves to this day. 

During the recent war, which is still taking place, Rami Beracha was on active reserve duty for 450 days in the elite 98 Brigade. 

Beracha began his career as an attorney at Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson, a leading Wall Street law firm, where he worked for four years and focused on restructuring and securities.

He later served as managing partner at the Pitango Venture Capital Fund for 18 years. Pitango is Israel’s largest venture capital firm with over $2.5 billion under management, 90 M&As, and 25 IPOs. In his role, Beracha focused on deep-tech Web 2 investments and served as a board member in several start-up companies, including Anobit (acquired by Apple), Leaba (acquired by Cisco), Dune (acquired by Marvel), Gteko (acquired by Microsoft), Convergin (acquired by Oracle), dbMotion (acquired by Allscripts), Neebula (acquired by ServiceNow), Oolo (acquired by AppsFlyer), and Ubimo (acquired by Quotient Technology).

He was nominated several times as one of the top five venture capital partners in Israel, and has over 20 exits under his belt. In 2011, Beracha was awarded the title of “Most Respected Partner” in the annual “Globes” survey among entrepreneurs and managers of Israeli startups.

In 2018, Rami Beracha joined Eden Block, a global venture capital fund dedicated to advancing blockchain technologies and the decentralized digital economy. His extensive experience—guiding startups from early funding through growth, market strategy, and ultimately to successful exits—has been invaluable to Eden Block and its portfolio companies. Beracha brings expertise in product development, team building, go-to-market strategies, business modeling, and M&A negotiations, helping founders navigate every stage of the startup journey.

Beracha is also a co-founder of SOSA TLV, an open innovation company.
