Ezra Gardner, a Co-founder of Varana Capital. Ezra brings extensive experience in investing and board membership, specializing in venture capital, equities, capital markets, and M&A. With a proven track record of partnering with portfolio companies to bring innovative ideas to market, Ezra's expertise has been instrumental in driving entrepreneurship and business growth.

Ezra highlights his background in investment banking and asset management, as well as the unique aspects of the Israeli tech market that attracted him to establish a presence there. Varana Capital operates as an Evergreen VC fund, assisting founders in growing their businesses, developing partnerships, and facilitating IPOs, mergers, or acquisitions. The company has offices in Denver and Tel Aviv, leveraging its connections and expertise in both locations to bridge Israeli startups with the U.S. market.

Ezra discusses the challenges and growth journey of building Varana Capital over the past 12 years. He emphasizes the importance of reputation and time in the investment management business and highlights the need for talented human capital. The company has grown its network of investors through concentric circles, starting with friends and family and expanding from there.

Ezra’s shout-out goes to Warren Buffett, the chairman of Berkshire Hathaway and a renowned investor. Buffett's work ethic, adherence to principles, and active participation in the annual Berkshire Hathaway conference have been a great inspiration to Ezra. Attending the conference for 25 years, accompanied by a close friend and now their sons, has made it an enjoyable and rejuvenating experience for Ezra.
