Biography
Alon Lifshitz was born in Tel Aviv. He served in the IDF as a combat soldier in the Givati Brigade and Artillery Corps. After his military service, he pursued a bachelor's degree in Business Administration at IDC Herzliya, while interning in the Foreign Securities Trading Department at Mizrahi Bank. After graduation, he worked at a consulting firm in Jerusalem that helped technology companies raise capital from governmental sources.[1][2]
He founded Sales Gate International in 2004.[3][4][5] In 2010, Lifshitz joined the venture capital Blumberg Capital, before founding one in 2017 together with his wife, called Hanaco Ventures.[6]
In 2024, following the collapse of Vesttoo, a startup suspected of large-scale financial fraud, Hanaco Ventures’ co-founder and managing partner Pasha Romanovski stepped down from the firm. Romanovski had led Hanaco’s investment in Vesttoo and served on its board of directors.[7]
In June of that year, it was announced that Hanaco would stop raising new capital and had no plans to launch additional funds.[8]

Lifshitz has been married to Tiferet since 2002. They have two daughters and reside in Tel Aviv.[1]
