Background
I could not verify a current public profile for Dana Chap on Viola Group’s website, Viola Ventures’ fund page, Viola Notes contributor listings, or public web search results. The current Viola Group team page does not list a Dana Chap, and Viola Notes’ contributor filter does not show Dana Chap as a contributor.
The firm associated with the supplied email domain, Viola Group, describes itself as Israel’s leading technology investment group, with more than $7 billion in assets under management. Viola says it partners with Israeli entrepreneurs from inception through growth via separate investment arms including Viola Ventures, Viola Growth, Viola Credit, Viola Fintech, and Viola Partners.
Viola Ventures, the early-stage arm, says it has been active for more than 20 years, manages $1.5 billion, and has backed more than 150 companies including ironSource, Payoneer, Redis, Pagaya, Lightricks, and Immunai. Its stated stages are Pre-Seed, Seed, and Series A.
