JVP Media Quarter
JVP is pioneering a new type of entrepreneurship bringing together profit and social profit, innovation and
creativity, technology and leadership, in one place, the JVP Media Quarter in Jerusalem. The JVP Media
Quarter brings together entrepreneurship from various disciplines and forms coming together to create the
leaders of tomorrow, making a difference, driving both business and social transformation. Beautifully situated
in the heart of Jerusalem's "Cultural Miles, the JVP Media Quarter gives expression to the vision of JVP to fuse
technology, creativity and social action in one exciting complex. Located in the renovated national Mint of the
British Empire and the Ottoman warehouses next door, the JVP Media Quarter is heralding the revitalization of
the area surrounding Jerusalem's old train station. Today over 300 young, dynamic employees gather here
daily to work in the venture capital firm, in The JVP Media Labs (our technology incubator), in one of the dozen
JVP start-up and portfolio companies that chose to be headquartered in Jerusalem, in our performing arts
incubator and theater, "The Lab" (Ha'Maabada), or in our social profit organization *JVP Community".
Digital Media Focus
As an entrepreneurial venture capital fund, JVP often explores new and innovative technology areas. Past
initiatives led to prominent achievements in the wireless, optical, enterprise software and semi-conductor
spaces. Since targeting the digital media space in 2003, JVP has built a pioneering portfolio in this area,
focusing on consumer driven applications and services. In addition to traditional deal flow channels, JVP
partners with media industry leaders to identify and develop new companies and business models in the digital
media space. JVP also identifies core technologies in various markets, applying these technologies to the
media space through new initiatives.
Proven Track Record
The foundations for JVP's track record derive from the firm's entrepreneurial spirit, experienced team and agile
investment strategy. Through twenty one initial public offerings, acquisitions and mergers for its portfolio
companies, JVP has helped to create some of the largest companies to come out of Israel over the past
eighteen years. Specifically, JVP was the seed investor in Netro Corporation, in which JVP sold its position
when the company was traded on NASDAQ for $5.5 billion. JVP was also the lead investor and the largest
shareholder in Chromatis Networks, which was sold to Lucent in 2000 for $4.8 billion. Additionally, JVP was the
largest shareholder in Precise, selling its position in 2001 when the market cap was in the range of $700 million,
and in Cogent Communications, which, in March 2007 when JVP sold its position, was trading on NASDAQ at a
market cap of $1.2 billion. In July 2010 JVP's portfolio company QLIK Technologies was listed on NASDAQ,

and with a recent market cap of roughly $2.0 billion, is being perceived as one of the most successful IPO's of a
European-originated company in close to a decade. Beyond these examples, JVP has contributed significantly
to a variety of technology companies that exited through industry sales and NASDAQ IPOs. In March 2011 JVP
