Omer Shvili, CEO of Investing.com and a long-time sponsor of Maccabi Tel Aviv, is considering becoming an investor in the club. According to Sport 5, the entrepreneur, who has supported Maccabi through the company for the past four years, may move forward with the idea after discussions with the club’s management.
Shvili, a lifelong Maccabi fan and season-ticket holder for decades, would likely enter as a minority investor if the deal materializes. His goals, according to the report, would include strengthening the Maccabi Tel Aviv brand and helping position the team among the EuroLeague’s leading clubs, out of what is described as a personal sense of mission.
If he proceeds, Shvili would do so alongside Eric Stilinman, the CEO and founder of Rapyd. Stilinman recently bought 50% of Pedenco Sport, a company owned by the Federman family, which is one of Maccabi Tel Aviv’s shareholders. Shvili’s potential move would therefore be part of a broader investor picture around the club.
The report also reviewed Shvili’s business background. He founded an early financial forecasting platform in 2000, built extensive experience in fintech management, and eventually became CEO of Investing.com. Under his leadership, the company became one of the world’s three largest financial websites and was sold in 2021 in a deal valued at $500 million.
