Moran Levinovitz, group head of ventures at HSBC, is one of the 100 leading corporate venturing professionals in our 2026 Powerlist.
Moran Levinovitz has led HSBC’s corporate ventures team for the past four years, with a key focus on positioning the platform at the forefront of AI and digital asset-driven fintech investing.
“AI will be remarkably prolific for anything and everything around how we function,” Levinovitz told GCV last year.
HSBC Ventures—formerly Strategic Innovation Investments—supports startups by providing strategic capital alongside access to HSBC’s global network, deep sector expertise and extensive customer base, helping companies scale internationally.
To date, HSBC Ventures has invested in more than 70 companies worldwide, including Poolside, an AI software development platform, Quantexa, a decision intelligence provider, and CrowdStrike, a cloud-first cybersecurity platform.
The other substantial part of HSBC’s venture strategy involves digital assets, where investments include Consensys, a blockchain software company building tools and infrastructure for decentralised finance, and Elliptic, a leader in digital asset transaction monitoring and compliance.
Commenting on the sector last year, Levinovitz noted, “The evolving regulatory landscape in the US around digital assets and stablecoins has the potential to remove some of the friction around distributed ledger technology for financial services… coupled with AI, those two categories will be profound in how they shape financial services.”
Levinovitz made his debut on the GCV Powerlist in 2025, five years after being named to the GCV Rising Stars list. He has spent 18 years at HSBC, progressing through investment banking—focused on enterprise software—before moving into strategic investments and, subsequently, ventures.
Under his leadership, HSBC Ventures has sharpened its focus on technologies with the potential to reshape core banking infrastructure, balancing long-term strategic relevance with commercial discipline. Levinovitz has been a vocal advocate for closer collaboration between large financial institutions and emerging technology companies, helping position HSBC as an active partner in the next generation of fintech innovation.
