How to Pitch Swish Ventures: Seed Funding for Cyber and AI

Swish Ventures filed two vehicles on October 7, 2026, with Omri Casspi as the contact: Swish Ventures Early II L.P. reporting $216.6 million and Access I L.P. reporting $200.5 million. Casspi is a former NBA player who now runs the firm, and its focus is early-stage cybersecurity, cloud infrastructure and AI.

What the Filings Do and Do Not Show

The filings do not say what each vehicle is for. Public reports describe a different set of funds: a first fund of about $60 million, a $100 million Opportunity Fund announced in December 2025 to back existing winners including EON, Upwind and Tenzai, and a $250 million third fund that Globes reported as closed in September 2026, which brought reported assets under management to about $800 million. Sources disagree on that last figure, and one describes it as a mark-to-market number that does not equal money committed by investors.

I found no public source that explains the names "Early II" or "Access I", so this article does not claim they are the same as any of those funds. The amounts in the filings should be read as what the firm reported on October 7, not as confirmed fund sizes.

How the Firm Invests

Early reporting on the first fund said it planned about ten companies with checks of $5 million to $7 million, which is large for a seed fund. The third fund was reported to plan about twelve companies at an average of about $20 million each, with Sequoia Capital reportedly among its investors. Larger early checks suggest the firm wants a meaningful stake and concentrated bets.

What This Means for Founders

Swish is a fit for technical teams building security, cloud or AI infrastructure products, especially with Israeli founders or a strong enterprise customer base. Because its checks are large for early rounds, it tends to expect real progress such as a working product, design partners or early revenue. Expect the conversation to focus on the size of the market and the credibility of the team.

If you are raising a seed round, consider that a firm writing $5 million or more at the start will also expect to take part in later rounds, so ask how it handles pro-rata and what it would want to see before a Series A. Ask each prospective lead investor how many companies the fund plans to back, since a small number of bets means a high bar to get in.
