JERUSALEM, June 8, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Jerusalem Venture Partners ("JVP"), one of Israel's leading venture capital firms, managing 7 funds totaling over $800 million, announced today that it has raised approximately $25 million for an Annex Fund to JVP IV. The new Annex Fund is due to strengthen JVP IV's portfolio companies, enabling them to capitalize on their potential, preventing premature sale, and enhance their business propositions.
