Glilot Capital, which backs start-ups in cybersecurity, AI and enterprise software, has secured $500m in fresh funding to expand its support for technology companies.
The capital, raised primarily from major financial institutions across the US, Europe and Israel, takes the firm’s assets under management to more than $1bn. The funds will be channelled into Glilot Seed and Glilot Plus, the company’s existing investment programmes.
Founded in 2011, Glilot has built a reputation as one of Israel’s top-performing venture capital firms. Its portfolio includes high-profile names such as At-Bay, Cider Security – acquired by Palo Alto Networks – CyberX, which was acquired by Microsoft, IntSights, which was acquired by Rapid7, and AI security company Noma Security. The firm has recorded 22 exits since inception.
The new funding will enable Glilot to continue backing early-stage companies while also strengthening its role in scaling them globally. Beyond financial support, the firm connects start-ups with Fortune 1000 companies to accelerate their go-to-market strategies and provides deep industry expertise.
Glilot highlighted that despite a slowdown in global venture capital fundraising, cybersecurity and AI remain resilient sectors due to rising security threats and widespread enterprise adoption of artificial intelligence.
The announcement also coincides with the appointment of Rinat Remler, a senior financial executive with extensive industry experience, as Glilot’s fifth partner. Remler, who also serves as a partner at Jerusalem Venture Partners, will be tasked with accelerating Glilot’s global expansion and boosting portfolio support.
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.”
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.”
Glilot has previously raised several funds, with this latest close cementing its position as a major force in Israeli venture capital.
