Omry Ben David אהבתי את זהOmry Ben David אהבתי את זהIf you know me, you know I love cars, motorcycles, racing... anything that moves fast. Maybe it’s why I got into venture in the first place. Last month, I hit the track at WeatherTech Raceway L. at Laguna Seca driving a Formula 4 car for the first time. The experience was a total of 3 days in training, followed by trailing an instructor, and then given the green light to race solo with other drivers on the track. What a time that was!!! As I traveled home, I couldn’t help but think about a couple of major lessons from the track that apply to building a company: 1. FOCUS: At 140mph, your to-do list disappears, any split attention, and you're off the track. Building something real requires the same focus, there's no halfway. 2. LOOKING THROUGH THE CORNER: If you focus on where the car is right now, you're already behind. You have to look toward where the track is going next, to push through the instinct to fixate on what's right in front of you. The best founders we see at Sapphire do the same thing by building for where the market will be, constantly looking through the next corner. More than anything, I’m excited to share a few snaps from an incredible weekend. Enjoy!

Omry Ben David אהבתי את זהProud moment for PayZen . Best in KLAS 2026 is a reflection of the trust our customers place in us—and a reminder of how much work still lies ahead to make healthcare truly affordable. Onward.Omry Ben David אהבתי את זהLast week in Las Vegas, PayZen joined healthcare innovators from across the industry to celebrate the 2026 Best in KLAS winners. We’re proud to be named Best in KLAS 2026 for Patient Financing Services, a recognition made possible by the trust and feedback of our customers. It was an honor to celebrate alongside so many leaders working to advance healthcare, and of course, ZenNation enjoyed the opportunity to celebrate together. Thank you to KLAS Research for hosting such a memorable event. #BestinKLAS #BestinKLAS2026 #KLASResearch #HealthcareAffordability #HealthTech

Omry Ben David אהבתי את זהOmry Ben David אהבתי את זהUpdate - I’m joining PayZen, a Series B startup, to lead the product team. I’ve always been drawn to acute problems – those that are massive in scale and deeply personal in impact. After a decade working on the job search problem, I was drawn to healthcare affordability. We’ve all experienced this: when there’s a health problem, everything stops. And yet affording the care they need is top of mind for millions of Americans. It’s so large, so complex… and yet so important. What drew me in was what the team – led by Itzik and Tobias – has already built. Starting with payment plans and financial tools for patients and health systems, they’ve had real impact on patients and care providers. We all know healthcare affordability is a much larger problem – I believe we’re just getting started on what’s possible. I’m grateful to Itzik for the opportunity – and it is all the more meaningful that this next chapter starts with Sanjeev, the person who took a bet on an eager grad student who dreamed of making it to the Bay Area and hired me into LinkedIn. Some things come full circle in the most wonderful ways. PS: Healthcare is complex and I have a lot to learn. Alongside my notes on building LLM-powered products, do expect to see a lot more notes about the US healthcare system and the lessons learned along the way. :-)

Omry Ben David אהבתי את זהOmry Ben David אהבתי את זהI am so excited to announce we’ve raised our Series B, totaling $83M in funding. Six quarters ago, we came out of stealth with a belief that identity security could and should be done differently. Since then, the pace, the growth, and the momentum behind this company has been incredible to experience. What’s most exciting to me is not just how far we’ve come, but what we’re building toward. Identity has become the center of modern security, and it’s also one of the most complex and critical problems organizations face today. We’re here to change that and to redefine how identity security works for modern environments. But moments like this don’t happen without people. To our customers: thank you for trusting us, challenging us, and building alongside us. You are at the center of everything we do. To our team: I couldn’t be prouder. The intensity, the ownership, and the standard you hold yourselves to every day is what makes Linx what it is. And to our investors Insight Partners, Index Ventures, and Cyberstarts: thank you for believing in this vision and backing us as we build. We’re incredibly grateful to be in this position and even more excited for what comes next.

Omry Ben David אהבתי את זהOmry Ben David אהבתי את זה🔥 🔥 🔥 We silently onboarded 4 new 100M+ fintechs in the last week only in Africa that didn't get enough attention. The combo: 1. Strong USD rails for fintechs with insane pricing (best on the market) 2. Virtual accounts API with named option for businesses in USD/EUR/GBP/AED/USDC/T and more currencies to come 3. FX liquidity in large clips 4. Payin/payout options to banks nostros in hard countries in Africa 5. Fast compliance that review requests in under 10 minutes 6. Insane UX with a dedicated app to automate most treasury movements AND 7. SUPPORT from ALL THE TEAM via whatsapp, slack We still answer to most of the deals on whatsapp as founders when it's a priority - didn't even build a claude bot to do that yet :) Africa needs a better infrastructure but most important needs Trust that if something is struck they can speak to someone that cares. Nilos is on its way to become the leader of its category. Stay tuned because we're gonna drop names and it's gonna hurt :)

We are not a classic VC, we are a place built on the heart, where every detail matters. We are so blessed to celebrate this incredible milestone together.

Omry Ben David אהבתי את זהOmry Ben David אהבתי את זהRSA 2026 - it's a wrap! War, uncertainty, a thousand reasons not to get on a plane. The Israelis cyber mafia showed up. Big time. By sea, air, land, whatever it took. It also became the icebreaker of the week 😅 Agentic AI security continues to be the hotness. Also the mess. So many companies, so many booths, so many pitches - all sounding the same. The space is clearly becoming the central battleground but still figuring itself out. Right now identity and runtime are the emerging control points. Ask me again in 6 months... But the honest take is that defense is still lagging (for now). The Claude Mythos leak just sent yesterday public cyber into another tailspin. Not because security became irrelevant - quite the opposite. The market is realizing the pace of innovation is outrunning the incumbents. The attack surface grows faster than the defense ships. So what matters if you're building here? (1) Differentiation is make-or-break. Work on your brand and wedge from day one. The noise is deafening. If you sound like everyone else on the floor, you are everyone else on the floor. (2) Context is the moat. Fragmented, siloed cyber signals stitched into a coherent picture for the agentic world - that's where great products get built. Always great seeing so many friends and colleagues - and meeting new ones. That part never gets old. Until next time 🇮🇱🇺🇸 Viola Ventures

Most startup conversations begin with technology. But the companies that scale are often shaped much earlier - By people. We’re glad to share another episode of the Scale Up Nation Podcast, recorded live during Qumra’s annual CEO Summit, our yearly gathering where CEOs of leading Israeli companies across different stages of scale come together to speak openly about the challenges, opportunities and wins of building at scale. In this episode, guest host Boaz Dinte, Managing Partner at Qumra Capital, joins Ram Ben Ishay for a conversation with Pavel Gurvich - co-founder of Guardicore, a leading data center and cloud security company built around micro-segmentation, a Qumra Capital portfolio company acquired by Akamai Technologies, and founder of Tenzai, an AI-native #cybersecurity company building autonomous #AI hackers to help enterprises continuously find and fix vulnerabilities. One insight stood out in the conversation: Experienced #founders rarely start from scratch when building their next company. Over time, they develop a kind of “rolodex” of people they’ve worked with closely - people they trust, understand, and know how they execute. When the time comes to build again, those relationships often become the foundation of the new company. Because the early team doesn’t just build the product - They define the company’s DNA.

I am filled with optimism and inspiration every time I read the periodic reports about Israel's Tech Ecosystem by Startup Nation Central. It is truly exciting. I'm honored and happy to be part of this amazing ecosystem. Here are my key take aways on the first half of 2025 that showed continued growth, in both private funding and M&A: Funding: * In H1 2025, Israel’s private tech sector raised $9.5 billion across 367 rounds based on reported and estimated deals, marking a 58% increase in capital raised, compared to H2 2024. * Early-stage activity gained some momentum in H1 2025, with capital invested in pre-seed and seed rounds rising by 50% compared to H2 2024 (from $406 million to $607 million). * Compared to the previous half (H2’2024), Private funding in the U.S. rose by 23%, while Israel saw a significant 62% jump. * Compared to the first half of 2024, U.S. private funding is up 62%, while Israel’s is up 41%. * In the EU, funding is down by 20% compared to the first half of 2024. In Asia, funding saw a sharp 42% fall, compared to the first half of 2024. M&A * Compared to H1 2024, first-time M&A rose 734%, and 30% excluding the $32B Wiz acquisition by Google. * M&A activity in H1 2025 remained strong, with 60 first-time deals totaling $38.9 billion, making it one of the most active recorded first halves. Even excluding the high-profile Wiz acquisition, which closed in Q1, the remaining 59 deals still totaled $6.9 billion, a clear sign of broad-based strength in Israel’s exit market. * Compared to H2 2024, first-time M&A activity rose 20% in H1 2025 (60 vs. 50 deals), while total deal value fell slightly from $7.2 billion to $6.9 billion (excluding Wiz). https://lnkd.in/dSpFXn5X

🚀 ICI Fund is proud to lead the first-check investment in Maverick AI! We’ve partnered with Yochai Pagi, a rare founder who blends deep systems engineering, control theory, and real-time operations. From leadership roles in the Israeli Air Force and Elbit Systems, Yochai has spent his career turning complexity into clarity for high-stakes, mission-critical systems — and now he’s building Maverick to do just that with AI. 🎯 Maverick AI is rethinking how control rooms operate in energy, defense, and critical infrastructure. Their secure, on-prem neuro-symbolic AI co-pilot offers real-time guidance with explainability, even in air-gapped SCADA and OT environments where traditional AI solutions can’t go. We were drawn not only to the technology, but to the team’s precision, discipline, and clarity of thought. Maverick has already secured design partners, multiple paid pilots, and strong market pull — all before launch. At ICI Fund, we invest in Israeli deep tech with global potential, supporting early-stage teams building real-world impact in AI, autonomy, and national resilience. Maverick AI fits that vision perfectly. Thank you, Aviv Nizri for leading this investment! 💪 We’re excited to be on this journey with Yochai and the Maverick team. 🌍 Let’s build a safer, smarter future — one mission-critical decision at a time. #AI #DeepTech #FirstCheck #StartupInvestment #VentureCapital #CriticalInfrastructure #OperationalAI #OT #SCADA #Energy #Defense #ICIThoughts

Our partner Raz Mangel sat down with CTech by Calcalist to share our trends for 2026, and while the conversation covered everything from deep tech to AI infrastructure, one theme cuts through it all: Israeli companies are mastering the discipline of scaling. For years, the Israeli tech narrative centered on innovation. But what's changing now, and what global LPs are increasingly excited about, is the pairing of that innovation with systematic go-to-market execution. We're seeing it firsthand: multiple Greenfield portfolio companies that were at single-digit ARR when we invested are now approaching or crossing $100M+ ARR with line of sight to $1B. This didn't happen by accident. It's the result of implementing the right operational frameworks early - what we call the Seven Pillars of Efficient Growth: Strategy, Operational Framework, People, Pipeline, Sales Process, Partnerships, and Account Management. Our G²M Excellence program exists to help companies build this GTM infrastructure from the start, avoiding costly cycles and enabling the rapid yet efficient growth required to reach sustainable scale. This year, whether it's deep tech, AI infra, or cyber, the companies that will define Israel's next decade won't just build great technology. They'll build enduring global businesses with the go-to-market muscle to match their technical depth. Read Greenfield Partners full trends and predictions for 2026 in the comments:

Waze Co-Founder Uri Levine Launches $40M Double Down Fund to Back Israeli Growth-Stage Companies Uri Levine is partnering with Pasha Romanovski, to launch Double Down, an opportunity fund dedicated to supporting Israeli growth-stage companies that have already reached tens of millions of dollars in revenue, with some even operating profitably. Unlike traditional VC models, Double Down will not target early-stage startups or take board seats, but will instead focus on fueling existing portfolio companies to scale globally. The fund has already secured around $20 million toward its $40 million target and plans to begin operations in late 2025. Its backers include private investors and family offices in Europe, the United States, and South America. For Levine, Double Down continues his long-standing mission to support entrepreneurs and amplify Israeli innovation on the global stage. https://lnkd.in/d22crhdT #VentureCapital #Investment #GrowthStage #OpportunityFund #PrivateEquity#IsraeliInnovation #StartupNation

“Within 10 years, there will be at least 10 more Israeli companies like Wiz” Cyberstarts founder Gili Raanan, the first investor in Wiz, says Google’s $32 billion acquisition will reshape Israel’s tech ambitions. “The sale of Wiz to Google is an event that goes far beyond investors, employees, or taxes. Just as the ICQ deal broke the first glass ceiling for Israeli exits, followed by Waze, which broke the billion-dollar barrier, Wiz is now shattering every possible ceiling. This will influence Israeli high-tech, the economy, and the country for generations,” says Gili Raanan, founder of the venture capital firm Cyberstarts and the first investor in the cybersecurity company.
