Our Platforms

Our Platforms

Foundation is a global investment platform operating across four distinct verticals: New York, Israel, Ukraine, and human capital. Each vertical is led by Richard Ohebshalom and built on the same core thesis that has guided twenty-five years of principal-level value creation in the world’s most demanding markets.

The most significant positions are established before the market has priced the opportunity. Complexity is not a deterrent. It is the source of the return. Building for permanence rather than trading for profit is the only approach that compounds across generations.

Foundation does not pursue every opportunity. It pursues the right ones. The distinction is everything.

Foundation

Israel

Foundation Israel delivers discreet real estate and advisory services across the world’s most supply-constrained real estate market; bounded by sea and geopolitics, driven by unrelenting demand, and anchored by a civilization that builds with timeless resolve under pressure unlike any other.

We hold privileged, longstanding positions within it, operating through our specialized platform: Foundation Israel Investments for curated off-market opportunities in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Herzliya, Ramat HaSharon, and beyond; Foundation Homes Israel for thoughtful family home acquisitions and seamless integration; Foundation Advisory Israel for tailored concierge and cultural guidance; Foundation Agriculture Israel for early-stage land with rezoning potential; and Foundation Incubator Israel for nurturing exceptional innovative talent, all designed to create intelligent, lasting, multi-generational presence in Israel.

Foundation

Incubator

Foundation Incubator is a global talent platform that identifies exceptional founders before the world knows their name. Before structure, before funding, before category, especially gifted founders aged 9 and up of all backgrounds.

We give them what it takes to become inevitable: world-class mentorship, unrestricted resources, and a rigorous environment to develop transformative technological solutions for the world’s most pressing challenges. Through a selective two-way ownership model that delivers guidance, intellectual freedom, and meaningful financial upside, creating a virtuous cycle of impact and enduring legacy.

Foundation

New York

Foundation New York offers private real estate investment and advisory for global clients in New York City; the eternal benchmark, reinvented.

With twenty-five years of embedded relationships applied to its highest-conviction corners, most of which never surface publicly, the platform focuses on curated opportunities in multifamily repositioning, hospitality and mixed-use assets, recapitalizations, distressed properties, and prime Manhattan acquisitions, delivering full sourcing, underwriting, and execution in one of the world’s most liquid and resilient markets.

Foundation

Ukraine

Foundation Ukraine focuses on disciplined real estate investment opportunities in history’s hinge; the rare, generational moment of post-war reconstruction unfolding at unprecedented scale.

Positioned ahead of the institutional wave through trusted local operator partnerships and international-standard governance, the platform targets structurally sound built assets, residential buildings and portfolios, partially completed developments, commercial/industrial properties suitable for residential conversion, and select prime urban retail, for precise renovation and controlled value creation within 12 - 24 months, delivering measured, high-conviction returns in one of capital’s most consequential cycles.

Thesis

Across borders and centuries

Across borders and centuries, certain truths remain constant: the pull of home, the weight of heritage, the hope that what we build today will outlast us. There is a class of opportunity that does not advertise itself, it does not need to. Foundation is the quiet convergence point where the world’s most significant assets and the most exacting capital find each other, without ceremony. We operate in markets defined by scarcity, resilience, and transformation: in Israel the sun-drenched legacy of rooted belonging; in New York the unshakeable poise of permanence; in Ukraine the patient dawn of renewal. We source what cannot be found through open channels. We access what is never publicly offered. We build what endures across generations. This is not a platform you discover. It is one you are brought to, for families who measure success in what they leave behind, not what they cash out.

Timeless Value. Perpetual Legacy.

Richard Ohebshalom, Chief Executive Officer

Foundation

The Operator

The Operator

Founder & Chairman

Across borders and across cycles one principle has remained constant. The most significant value is created before the market has organized around it. Foundation was built to act on that principle, across New York, Israel, Ukraine and human capital, with the discipline, the relationships and the execution capability that twenty-five years of operating at the principal level in the world’s most demanding markets produces. Foundation does not pursue every opportunity. It pursues the right ones. The distinction is everything.
