Israeli venture capital firm Glilot Capital, one of the country’s top-performing funds with a focus on cybersecurity, AI and enterprise software, has secured $500m to expand its investment activities.
According to Security Week, the latest capital raise came from a group of large financial institutions across the US, Europe and Israel. With this new injection, Glilot’s assets under management have risen to more than $1bn, with the funding set to be channelled into its Glilot Seed and Glilot Plus programmes.
Founded in 2011, Glilot Capital has built a reputation as a high-performing investor, boasting 22 successful exits. Its portfolio includes cyberinsurance provider At-Bay, AI security firm Noma Security, and a number of companies that have been acquired by larger players, such as Cider Security (Palo Alto Networks), CyberX (Microsoft), and IntSights (Rapid7).
Glilot intends to use the fresh funds to continue backing early-stage technology firms in high-growth sectors. Alongside capital, the firm provides its portfolio companies with access to a network of Fortune 1000 enterprises, enabling faster go-to-market strategies, and draws on deep sector expertise to accelerate scaling.
The raise comes at a time when global venture capital activity has slowed, but Glilot believes cybersecurity and AI remain resilient given the rise in enterprise adoption of artificial intelligence and escalating cyber threats.
The firm has also strengthened its leadership team with the appointment of Rinat Remler, a veteran financial executive, as its fifth partner. Remler, who also serves as a partner at Jerusalem Venture Partners, will help drive Glilot’s international expansion and enhance support for portfolio companies.
Glilot co-founder and managing partner Kobi Samboursky said, “These outcomes highlight Glilot’s ability to identify market-defining startups early and provide the resources and strategic connections needed for accelerated growth.”
His fellow co-founder and managing partner Arik Kleinstein added, “Rinat brings deep operational expertise and a strong track record of working alongside founders to scale globally. Her addition strengthens our ability to provide hands-on support for entrepreneurs at every stage of their journey.”
