By GlobalDataThetaRay and ABN AMRO
In June 2019, Dutch bank ABN AMRO took a take in ThetaRay.
Prior to the ABN stake, Israel-headquartered ThetaRay has raised more than $60m. Early investors include Jerusalem Venture Partners, General Electric, Bank Hapoalim and Israel’s OurCrowd.
Neither ABN nor ThetaRay disclosed the amount of the deal or the stake taken in the startup. The deal represents ABN’s first investment in an Israeli company.
At the time, Hugo Bongers, director of ABN AMRO Digital Impact Fund told RBI: “We became a ThetaRay customer in June 2018. But things moved at speed after that. We got together and discussed other potential business partnerships.
“In particular we discussed how we could strengthen the business partnership. I strongly believe as an investor you should have more than just money involved. There are so many use cases that ABN can bring to the table to combine with the solution and AI platform that ThetaRay is delivering.
“I wanted more than just a supplier relationship. Where there is an equity relationship on top of a business partnership it is easier to share insights our challenges.”
