After working many years in the Israeli Hitech arena (being a senior executive in two NASDAQ listed companies and the chairman of the Israeli HiTech Organisation) Tuvia Marmarelli started NetMe as a Venture Capital company, to seed, scout technologies, mentor and raise funds for Israeli startups; mostly in the software , internet & communications arenas (his personal expertize).
Capitalizing on his vast network of contacts, the operation evolved from raising equity for start-ups to real estate investments in which Tuvia made a name for himself as a leading Real Estate investments analyst. Structuring, raising equity & debt for real estate investments as well as consulting to international developers and Israeli investors became his expertize. Today Real Estate is essential for the company’s growth and lead the company to its current position. Apart of being the private holding company of the family, NetMe became more of a launchpad for new business activities.
It is interesting to see how HiTech investors become investors in international properties (USA, UK, Georgia and in the last years Cyprus) and vice versa. We pride ourselves for forming a vibrant investors community (over 800 active investors and a database of 25,000!) who share similar values: good ideas & values, business networking, proper due diligence, personal trust and effective & carefull execution.
Netme’s larger ecosystem and teams are actively dealing with HiTech ventures since 2002. Since 2012 we started to invest in American real estate – specifically in high demand areas. Over 24 development projects in New York & Brooklyn, and over 50 other projects all over the USA, had been led by our teams. We sourced high yield projects with minimal risk for our investors by taking advantage of the vast experience and network.
In the last years we are in a process of diversifying and refocusing our real estate activities into new areas in Europe such as UK, Georgia, Portugal , Greece and Cyprus. The vast real estate partenrs network include over 200 real estate developers and over 400 brokers.
Our investors are taking part in various investment structures and activities (equity, new developments, secured and preferred loans, ad hock partnerships, special purpose funds and international properties) with secure and high yield potential, initially capitalizing on the tremendous opportunity in these markets. Although real estate become more and more significant for the holding, we love dealing with new software and AI ideas. So we cook, seed and nurture them in our NetMe labs, lead by the younger generation of the family.
Wish to partner, join our ventures or use our knowhow & connections?
People and companies are often charcterized and judged by their values. Values are like a lighthouse. Its light guides your way in the sea, in the darkness of the night. When we created NetMe, we firstly defined our lighthouse. Our values. From than on, every action we take, and every statement we make is according to these values. And we are very proud to succeed in following them precisely. Here are some of the main ones.
“Behind every dollar invested with us and every entity we partner with – there is a human being”.
That person spent lots of work, efforts and time to make that money. Its needed usualy for very special purposes. To marry his children, to save for his elder time, to handle old parents, to buy a new appartment etc.
We know how precious that money is, and therefore we will take always actions which minimize risks, explain them, and see the whole picture for the sake of our investors and partners. We think like a family and act like one. Because we will only let one invest if we would let our children invest in the same opportunity.
Actually that’s how we will chose our investments and partners…
” Listening carefully and pay attention to the needs” is crucial.
In fact we vow to always listen. We open our ears not only to our investors and partners. But also to market analysts and trends. We actively pay attention and listen. THerefore we gather information which lets us decide, analyze and execute our plans better…. while always maintaining the current and having plan B.
“It is all about the viewpoint”. Whenever we are in front of an important decision, we vow to take it after considering what would our community member (investor or partner) do by himself in such a situation, and we strive to do our best to fit their interest. As we usuaully know what’s on their agenda, we’ll always put ourselves in their shoes.
That’s the right viewpoint to our opinion, and that’s how we act.
“Every battle is won before it is fought” – as the famous Chinese general, Sun Tsu, once wrote
We adopt specifically that, and we always try to “win” before we actually enter a new project. We buy properties “under the radar”. We do it by being prepared with the right connections, with a planned strategy, based on thourough knowledge of the specific area, taking into account all hurdles, and usually buy properties well bellow market price. And than we plan in a way, that if the rain suddenly drops, our investors will still get out dry…
“Live so that when your children think of Fairness, Caring & Integrity, they think of you”
Integrity is chosing your thoughts and actions based on your values rather than personal gain. We chose that this sentence will guide any action we take as it says so much about what it means to be a trusted human.
We expect the same form our community members and partners.
“Trust takes years to build, seconds to break and forever to repair”
For us, trust is also a business engine. The more trust we have from our investors & partners, the more successful our business will be. So building trust is at the core of all our activities. And we care to cultivate it by taking care of our community, their investments and their needs, with full integrity.
As they trust us, they’ll tell their friends, that we are their trusted partners & advisors. We do not know of any better way to grow the business. So we always act to be trusted. We care. And we take it personally.
“Partnering & networking is our life”
We know we cannot do everything by ourselves. Thats why we constantly develop good partnerships everywhere we work. We charish and protect our partners like family. We strive for their success. And we bring our values to our partners network. We train, we advice, we celebrate , we make them profitable. We care for them and they care for us. Be it investors who invest with us, a developer that use our consulting services, a broker utilizing our investors and developers network or an enterprneur who looks to raise funds for his new venture.
As we care, in turn – they care fore us. We become loved and appreciated. And we bring more business to each other.
We grow our network to become one big family
As mentioned all ventures start as an activity within NetMe and whenever they can “fly alone” they go out and form a specialized company dealing specifically with its activity. We chose a concept of an eco system, of several companies acting jointly, each specializes in its own expertize, guided by the group’s management. Decisons and interests are alligned to the same values and goals without conflicts. In our lean structure we have actually defined a scaleable active management of the group, investors & partners mentorship section and financial advisory – all provided by our eco system. This structure allows for each partner to scale, without impacting the other parties – while all decisions, actions and strategies are decided together, guided by the group’s management, enabeling economies of scale and investors centric approach. Hereunder we outline our current activities:
This team had been responsible for our Americam activities as the general partners in 24 investors groups gathered in SPVs – as equity partners. Most of them made over 20% profit per annum on their investments – trusting Tuvia and his team.
Recheck serves as the “Israel Institute for Real Estate Investments Analisys”, and its Tuvia’s special “Baby”. The team scrutinize and performs due diligence for and on behalf of our community members. Recheck provides training & consulting services to investors, brokers and international real estate developers who wish to optimize their offering to investors worldwide and avoid mistakes.
Acting as the hub for our international property introduction & investing services, Handsoff focus now days in taking investors “HAND IN HAND” through the whole process of international property investing, lately focusing on Cyprus properties from the island’s best real estate developers.
This new and exciting venture is based on an internet SAAS platform connecting thousands of Real Estate Developers, International brokers and their international investors. All in one place, facilitating international property viewing trips and purchase. The platform enables property developers and brokers to extend their reach to international clientel, with ease.
“Nadlanometer” is a major consulting service of the Recheck institute. It is a methodic approach to check and make due diligence for real estate investments – before actual investing. It highlights the positives and and red alerts of the relevant deal in a precise analisys report which is used by many family offices and investors.
As our strategy, values and structure require, holding team is very lean. We rely on our knowhow, connections and the wide eco system established during the years, with many win / win partners. Our financial & legal counsels are part of our close and lean team.
We are constantly looking to team up with partners and investors – enhancing our eco system.
