MoreVC, formerly known as Israel Cleantech Ventures, is a venture capital firm founded in 2006 by Glen Schwaber,[1] Jack Levy, and Meir Ukeles.[2] It is a clean technology venture capital fund intent on providing growth capital to Israel's energy, water and environmental technology sectors.[3][4] MoreVC receives funding from InnovFin, a company that provides equity investments to companies in their early stages of development.[5]

In 2007 Israel Cleantech Ventures raised $75 million for its first fund from investors that included Robeco and Piper Jaffray,[4] as well as institutional investors and family offices.

In February 2020, it expanded its ventures into clean technology[6] and rebranded to MoreVC.
