44 Ventures is a private equity and venture-building group founded in 2014 that co-founds and scales global media companies. Headquartered in Herzliya, Israel, with an office in Brooklyn and regional presence in South America and APAC, the firm operates across digital media, entertainment, and advertising technology.
The group's portfolio includes Cheezburger and Know Your Meme, platforms centred on viral and humour content, alongside BoldWin, an advertising technology platform focused on ad monetization solutions. Rather than taking a traditional investor role, 44 Ventures provides hands-on operational support and strategic guidance to its portfolio companies, blending veteran industry expertise with emerging talent from around the world.
The firm specializes in identifying high-potential media businesses and supporting entrepreneurs with bold ideas through the early stages of building and scaling their ventures. Its approach emphasizes deep involvement in the growth and development of each company, moving beyond conventional investment to shape operational strategy and market positioning.
