  • ZyG

    Participated · Seed · Mar 2026

    ZyG builds ZyG OS, an end-to-end platform that leverages agentic AI infrastructure to identify products with scale potential and execute functions across brand building, store creation, creative generation, user acquisition, conversion optimization, retention and logistics. The company partners with online brands that have initial traction and that pass its Product Market Fit test and high ZyG Score to predict scale potential. ZyG says its platform removes operational and data complexity and the financial risk of scaling so founders can focus on product development. The founding team includes the creators of ironSource and three leading AI experts from an Israeli cyber unit, combining commerce and AI expertise. ZyG also offers financing capabilities as part of its platform to help brands scale. The company is headquartered in Tel Aviv and plans to use the Series A proceeds to further develop and expand its agentic operating system for eCommerce scale.

  • Quantum Art

    Participated · Series A · Dec 2025

    Quantum Art was spun out of Prof. Roee Ozeri's group at the Weizmann Institute of Science and is led by CEO and co-founder Dr. Tal David, CTO Dr. Amit Ben Kish and CSO Prof. Roee Ozeri. The company focuses on trapped-ion quantum computing and has developed proprietary techniques for multi-qubit gates, scalable modular architectures, and robust quantum error correction. It is advancing a multi-core roadmap including Perspective, a planned 1,000-qubit system aimed at commercial-scale deployment. Quantum Art is transitioning toward commercialization with plans for a Quantum-as-a-Service (QaaS) platform that lets customers move from algorithm development and co-design to execution on its hardware. The company said it is expanding internationally and building partnerships to support early customer adoption while hiring to support development and business growth.

  • IVIX

    Participated · Series B · Aug 2025

    IVIX offers an OSINT-driven AI platform that indexes publicly available business data and applies LLMs and modern graph analytics to reveal hidden financial networks and illicit activity. Its product is used by government authorities to accelerate investigations into money laundering, sanctions evasion, tax non-compliance and other large-scale financial crimes. The company says its technology has helped customers identify billions of dollars in offshore assets and illicit financial activity and has been deployed by authorities in the U.S., Europe and Asia. IVIX reports five consecutive years of rapid growth and customer acquisition. The company will use the new capital to accelerate research and development and to drive wider adoption of its AI-powered solution. IVIX was founded in 2020 and is headquartered in New York, with offices and employees across Europe, the U.S., South America and Asia. IVIX develops AI and machine-learning tools that analyze public databases of business activity to help government entities spot tax noncompliance and other financial crimes. The platform is designed as a closed-loop system: each government customer's AI learns exclusively from its own data and stores information with the customer rather than IVIX. The company was founded in 2020 by Matan Fattal and Doron Passov and is based in Israel; Fattal previously founded cybersecurity startup Silverfort and has a background in intelligence. IVIX has landed contracts with federal agencies including the IRS criminal investigation bureau and has sold to 10 government entities. The startup has made notable hires such as Don Fort, the former chief of criminal investigations at the IRS. IVIX recently raised a $12.5 million Series A led by Insight Partners and is positioning its products to help governments address large-scale problems like tax evasion and money laundering. Ivix provides a technology platform purpose-built to combat the shadow economy by allowing tax authorities to automatically analyze public data sources to identify large-scale tax evasion. The company develops tailored technologies that identify in-scale tax evasion so authorities can use resources more efficiently, increase collection, and promote deterrence. Its platform has been deployed in several OECD countries and has helped authorities identify a significant number of tax infringements, including verticals where nearly 50% of businesses were not reporting income. Ivix is led by CEO Matan Fattal and CPO Doron Passov and lists multiple senior tax and enforcement advisors. The company is a graduate of Microsoft for Startups' AI for Good acceleration program in Israel. It raised $13M in seed funding to support exponential growth, primarily for sales and marketing.

  • Vendict

    Participated · Series A · Aug 2025

    Vendict provides an AI-native platform that automates governance, risk, and compliance tasks for enterprises. Built on language models, knowledge graphs, and continuous feedback loops, the system generates context-aware, source-backed answers to security questionnaires, performs gap analyses across frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, DORA, and ESG, and evaluates third-party risk. The product promises 100 % traceability, cuts questionnaire response times from six days to six minutes, and reduces manual control testing by 90 %. More than 100 customers have adopted the service in less than three years, many switching from legacy or manual solutions. By eliminating repetitive documentation work, Vendict positions GRC teams as strategic contributors rather than administrative overhead. The New-York-based company has raised $20 million to date, including the newly announced Series A, to further develop its AI-native, hallucination-free compliance platform. Investors view its explainable AI architecture and emerging two-sided network effects as key advantages in a GRC market expected to add $44.22 billion in value between 2025 and 2029.
