Opti, an AI-native identity security platform founded in 2024, has raised $20m in seed funding.
The round was led by YL Ventures, Mayfield Fund and Hetz Ventures, joined by Squared Circle Ventures, LocalGlobe, Maple Capital and cybersecurity pioneer Shlomo Kramer. The capital will support rapid product expansion and global scaling.
The company launched its new platform in response to organisations’ ongoing struggles with ineffective IAM tools, which rely heavily on manual processes. With identity complexity surging, Opti aims to deliver fully automated protection that reduces vulnerability exposure and enhances operational efficiency.
Opti develops AI-powered identity and access management technology using GenAI and domain-specific LLMs. Its system interprets user, access and system relationships to improve enterprise security, compliance and productivity.
The platform provides real-time detection of identity vulnerabilities, misconfigurations and overprivileged access. It offers validated least privilege recommendations and uses agentic AI orchestration to verify and execute access corrections with human oversight.
Opti CEO and co-founder Barak Perelman said, “Identity has evolved into a massive data ecosystem that enterprises struggle to control. Teams work incredibly hard, but they spend their time managing complexity instead of focusing on strategic opportunities. Opti gives them an intelligence layer that elevates and automates their capabilities – making identity operations faster, clearer, and safer.”
YL Ventures managing partner Yoav Leitersdorf said, “Opti is redefining how enterprises approach identity security. For too long, the space has relied on fragmented, manual, and outdated systems.
“Opti’s AI-native IAM platform introduces a smarter, faster, and more efficient way to manage and mitigate identity risk. Their agentic technology delivers measurable impact by reducing complexity, saving resources, and strengthening enterprise defenses. We’re proud to back their vision and partner with this exceptional team.”
