Navan IPO: Lone VC Fund Scores $1 Billion Windfall
Venture capitalist Oren Zeev’s early “relationship investment” of $50,000 in a nascent startup led to StreamOnce, later acquired by Jive Software. This initial bet paved the way for Navan (formerly TripActions), a business travel platform poised for an IPO valuing it at over $6 billion, potentially yielding Zeev over $1 billion. Zeev’s success stems from a gut-feeling investment approach. He operates as a solo GP, making quick decisions and valuing founder relationships. His strategy, including reinvesting management fees, aligns him with LPs.
