Eitan Reisel

Founder and Managing Partner

Eitan is the Founder and Managing Partner of vgames, an early stage fund investing in Games. 
Eitan has over 10 years of experience in Games and B2C companies, supporting and leading some of the most innovative businesses in this space. In addition, he was an Advisor and Board Member in several consumer companies with rapid growth. 


In 2010, Eitan joined the founding team of Google IL, building a multi-billion dollar business, supporting and digitizing industries, including Automotive, Travel, Telecom, and is known to be one of the leading B2C and Growth professionals in IL. 


In 2014, Eitan founded the Google Games team based out of Tel Aviv, working with the largest publishers globally on building the right tools and services to support Game companies. Eitan worked closely with all CEOs on building the right organization for scale, data driven models, and moving the needle in terms of the value Google provides Game publishers, regardless of size. 
Eitan has decided to found vgames to support new game studios with cash, know how, marketing, monetization and vast connections in the industry. Vgames today is one of the most recognized brands among entrepreneurs and investors in the gaming space. 


“As an entrepreneur and angel investor, I know how important first investors are to the health of the business. In games especially, patience and data are key to build the next generation of unicorn companies. I believe IL is only picking to become a leading global Game market”
