The move reflects Alpha's commitment to building on its collaborative growth equity model in global tech hubs like Israel.
Alpha Partners, a leading growth equity firm that invests in growth rounds led by the world's best investors, today announced the appointment of Gal Gitter as a Partner. Gitter will be based in Tel Aviv and will lead Alpha's efforts to bring its collaborative growth equity model to Israel.

The appointment reflects Alpha's view that Israel remains one of the world's most important technology ecosystems. The firm's model-designed to partner with early-stage venture funds rather than compete against them-helps early investors double down on their best-performing companies at the growth stage by supplying capital through pro-rata rights.
This approach has powered Alpha's investments in globally recognized businesses such as Coupang, Careem, Chainguard, Apptronik, Socure, and Baseten.
“Today, Alpha sees about half of the U.S.'s growth rounds per year and, with our VC partners, has the ability to invest in about a quarter of these deals,” said Steve Brotman, Managing Partner of Alpha Partners. “Our pioneering VC partnership model enables us to invest in what we believe to be the most promising companies globally at the growth stage, typically investing alongside the top VCs in the world. Historically, Israeli-founded companies account for 1 in 6 U.S. tech unicorns. As such, we are excited to formally launch our model in Israel, as we believe the country will continue generating some of the world's most important tech companies.”
Gitter was formerly Head of Ibex's Israel Growth Fund and a leader within McKinsey's Corporate Development Group. His experience spans investment and operational roles across Israeli startups and global investors.
“Alpha is one of the few firms purpose-built to collaborate with other funds rather than compete with them,” said Gitter. “That ethos resonates in Israel, where early investors play a central role in helping companies launch but often can't continue participating as those companies scale. By bringing Alpha's model to Israel, we can empower early stage investors to continue their partnership with their portfolios' top performers at the growth stages.”
Alpha has already completed multiple Israeli founded investments leveraging its partnership model, including in cybersecurity companies Semperis and Zero Networks, underground mapping leader Exodigo and AI/Healthtech player Vi Labs. The fund's Israel operations are co-led by Steve Brotman and Gal Gitter, with Charlie Federman serving as a Venture Partner and Lior Avisar serving as a Venture Investor.
