Itamar Ophel

Itamar Ophel is an Israeli finance executive whose career spans investment banking, private equity, and, most recently, technology operating leadership. He holds a B.Sc. in Mathematics and Economics (2007–2010) and an M.A. in Financial Economics (2011–2013), both from The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He began his career as an Investment Banking Analyst at J.P. Morgan (roughly 2013–2015).

Ophel spent the core of his career at Fortissimo Capital, an Israel-focused private equity firm founded in 2004 by managing partner Yuval Cohen. He joined around 2015 and rose to Partner, a role he held until approximately 2023. Fortissimo is one of Israel's leading PE funds — it has raised roughly $1.6–2.7 billion across multiple funds (its fifth fund closed in February 2020 at $650 million) and invests in "special situations and growth capital" in maturing technology and industrial companies. Notably, Ophel no longer appears on Fortissimo's current team roster (its public team-members directory now lists partners such as Yuval Cohen, Eli Blatt, Shmoulik Barashi, Marc Lesnick, Yochai Hacohen, Yoav Hineman, Uri Zahavi, and Uri Nayer — but not Ophel), consistent with his departure to an operating role.

He is now CEO of Titan (formerly FormTitan), an Israeli SaaS company that builds a no-code Salesforce-native platform for forms, document generation, portals, surveys, e-signatures, and workflows. In this role his focus has shifted from investing to running and growing a software business. Multiple data aggregators (Bloomberg, ZoomInfo, RocketReach, Foundersuite) tie the same individual across the J.P. Morgan → Fortissimo → Titan path, and his LinkedIn profile lists his current affiliation as Titan.

> Note on the stub: the source data classified him as an "Angel Investor" doing "Seed Round" deals at a firm called "FF Capital." Verification shows "ffcapital.com" is Fortissimo Capital, a growth/late-stage private-equity firm — not an angel or seed investor. Any personal angel activity by Ophel is not documented in reliable public sources.

• His institutional investing identity comes from Fortissimo Capital, whose stated strategy is "special situations and growth capital" — investing in "maturing technology and industrial companies," typically Israeli or Israeli-related, that are at inflection points requiring capital, restructuring, or a growth catalyst.
• Stage and check size are growth-equity / buyout scale, not seed. Recent firm deals illustrate the range — e.g., a $120M equity investment in Stratasys (2025) and a $12M financing of GigaSpaces — far above typical angel/seed tickets.
• Sectors: enterprise/industrial technology, digital printing, 3D printing, and established tech businesses with real revenue.
• What makes Fortissimo say "yes": companies where operational change, consolidation, or growth capital can unlock value — often profitable or near-profitable businesses rather than early-stage startups.
