Meir Ukeles

Meir is a founding partner at MoreVC. He is the youngest member of the partnership but is often mistaken for the oldest, thanks to years of sleeping on airport benches and late nights spent on conference calls as he wanders his backyard weeding. Meir tends to be most excited by companies that are shaking up large, difficult markets. He typically focuses on how a company reaches its target customers, with an emphasis on clear channels to market, leverageable unit economics and a defensible case for why a small new entrant can survive alongside massive incumbents. Meir has led investments in Claroty, Gro Intel, Grid4C, Lumos, C2A Security, Ception, Vanti, ReDefine and Panoramic Power (acquired by Centrica/Direct Energy) as well as Pythagoras Solar and Tigo Energy. Meir began his tech/finance career in 1996 at Jerusalem Global Ltd., where he was hired by Glen Schwaber, a decision both Meir and Glen struggle to understand today. Meir can be found on most evenings at one of Israel’s few ice hockey rinks, where he helps his kids and periodically plays himself despite advice of competent medical professionals. He served two tours of duty in the Israeli military, including as an officer in IDF’s Unit 8200. Meir received a B.A. in political science and East Asian studies from Columbia University.
