PHOENIX: #privatecredit--Lioncrest Ventures, a new purpose-built venture, today announced its debut and initial raise of $30 million toward its $100 million multi-strategy platform spanning both equity and credit funds.

Founded by Leib Bolel, a venture investor with over a decade of experience scaling companies, both as a Partner at Grayhawk Capital and formerly as CEO of the Arizona Israel Technology Alliance, Lioncrest was created to solve a core challenge facing many founders: the need for capital that aligns with their business models and growth timelines.

“Our mandate is simple: to provide the right capital to the right companies,” said Leib Bolel, Managing Partner at Lioncrest Ventures. “For some companies, equity is the rocket fuel that drives breakout success. For others, private credit is a better aligned path to scale. Lioncrest is built to deliver both, with discipline, speed, and conviction.”

The Lioncrest equity fund invests in early growth-stage software companies solving complex challenges in highly regulated industries. Key verticals include Cybersecurity, FinTech, Digital Health, LegalTech, Supply Chain & Logistics, and Government/Defense. These sectors demand innovation that meet rigorous standards for compliance, security, and scalability, areas where Lioncrest brings deep sector knowledge and operational insight.

The firm’s credit strategy is led by Managing Partner Ryan Edwards through the Lioncrest-Prospeq Fund, which provides structured financing to high-performing technology companies seeking growth capital without the need for an institutional sponsor. A private credit veteran with over 20 years of experience, including 13 years as Managing Director at Silicon Valley Bank, and later as founder of Prospeq, Edwards brings deep expertise in venture debt and capital structuring.

“The Lioncrest-Prospeq Fund provides founders with capital, enabling them to fund strategic growth and increase valuation,” said Ryan Edwards, Managing Partner and Head of the Prospeq Fund. “By offering credit, we can support more companies in more ways, without forcing a one-size-fits-all solution.”

Backed by a diverse network of limited partners, including family offices, founders, and strategic operators. Lioncrest is actively deploying capital from both funds. The firm maintains a primary focus on U.S. investments, while also accessing high-quality deal flow from Israeli-founded companies, reflecting Bolel’s leadership and investment experience across both ecosystems.

With its dual-fund platform, Lioncrest Ventures represents a next-generation venture model, built for alignment and long-term partnership with founders building what’s next.
