- Glow
Participated · Series B · Jul 2026
Founded in 2025 and headquartered in Palo Alto, Glow builds an endpoint security platform that uses specialized AI agents to continuously map enterprise environments, assess risk in real time, and enforce security policies. The platform integrates models from Anthropic and Google’s Gemini via Amazon Bedrock while adding proprietary software to provide enterprise context and improve model reliability for security tasks. Glow says it already has paying customers across healthcare, retail, and financial services and that typical deployments span tens of thousands of employee devices. The company reported having nearly 100 employees, roughly 70% of whom are based in Israel and the remainder in the U.S. Glow has claimed specific prevention and detection outcomes, including blocking malicious npm packages, identifying AI agents attempting to pull in risky software, and finding devices with missing or degraded endpoint detection tools. The startup positions itself as preventing risky software and AI agents from entering enterprise environments rather than primarily detecting threats after they emerge.
- Beacon Security
Participated · Seed · Jul 2026
Beacon provides an AI-native security platform centered on a data layer that normalizes, enriches, and pre-resolves telemetry across vendors to deliver clean, contextualized security data. The platform includes a library of production-ready Beacon Agents tuned by offensive-security and nation-state veterans and an open harness that lets defenders run, control, build, and analyze agentic workflows. Beacon's capabilities span data operations, posture monitoring, detection engineering, investigation support, and shadow-AI analysis, with more agents planned. The company reported over 300% ARR growth in H1 2026 and says it is deployed across dozens of enterprises, including Fortune 500 teams in highly regulated industries. Founded in 2024 by veterans of intelligence, offensive security, and enterprise data infrastructure, Beacon positions itself as the foundational context layer for human and autonomous defenders.
- Astelia
Participated · Seed · Feb 2026
Astelia delivers an AI-driven exposure management platform that filters an organization’s vulnerability list down to the weaknesses that are actually reachable and exploitable. By pairing “agentic AI” with deep, environment-specific analysis, the system automatically maps attack paths and generates tailored remediation plans. The product is already deployed with dozens of customers, including multiple Fortune 500 companies, demonstrating early enterprise traction. Founded by Alon Noy, Nadav Ostrovsky, and Roy Rajwan, the New York–headquartered startup positions itself as the next generation of proactive cyber risk management. Fresh capital will be used to broaden its AI analysis capabilities, scale global deployments, deepen technology partnerships, and expand engineering, research, and go-to-market teams. The company has raised $35 million to date through its Seed and Series A rounds, giving it a healthy balance sheet to fuel rapid growth. No revenue figures were disclosed in the article.
- Venice
Participated · Series A · Feb 2026
Venice (formerly Valkyrie) builds an adaptive privileged access platform that removes standing privileges through real-time, contextual access controls without requiring agents or proxies. Its technology is designed to work across cloud, SaaS, on-premises, and machine-to-machine environments, helping enterprises reduce identity-based risk, speed up operations, and maintain continuous audit integrity at scale. Led by CEO Rotem Lurie and CTO Or Vaknin, the company already counts Fortune 500 customers in finance, media, hospitality, manufacturing, healthcare, and technology sectors. Venice positions itself as a next-generation alternative to traditional privileged access management tools by focusing on just-in-time, context-aware permissions. The company plans to use newly raised capital to expand operations and accelerate product development. To date, Venice has secured $33 million in funding, which includes its recent $25 million Series A round.
