Merkava Holdings
Merkava Holdings is the private investment arm of the Philip E. Werthman Trust, founded and led by physician, entrepreneur and investor Philip Werthman. It backs early and mid-stage companies and platform technologies in life sciences, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, software, high technology, wireless communications, semiconductors, aerospace, security and defense. It also participates in real estate development and financing. The firm supports companies through business development, international financing relationships and global distribution networks. Its published investment portfolio includes Amydis, which develops investigational retinal molecular tracers for neurodegenerative diseases, and Spinogenix, a neuroscience therapeutics developer. The website separately categorizes investment portfolio companies, advisory or board relationships, and product distribution; an advisory appointment alone does not establish an investment. No named investment fund, closed fund size, assets under management, founding year or legal incorporation jurisdiction has been verified.
