Irad Dor has departed from Eight Roads Ventures after two and a half years to take a partner position at Microsoft subsidiary M12.
Irad Dor has joined US-headquartered software provider Microsoft’s corporate venture capital unit, M12, as an Israel-based partner.
Dor had been a venture partner at Eight Roads, a VC arm of US-based mutual fund manager Fidelity, since 2018 and had led investments in FireBlocks, Gloat and ScyllaDB.
Dor said: “Super excited to join M12 – Microsoft’s Venture Fund – an independent, global VC fund that combines the best of all worlds: financially driven, independent but able to take advantage of Microsoft’s global reach.”
Mony Hassid, head of M12 in Europe and Israel, said Dor will focus on early-stage investments in cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity and enterprise software in his regions. Prior to joining Eight Roads, he had been a director at telecommunications firm SingTel and its corporate venturing subsidiary, Innov8.
