Another milestone for Israeli cybersecurity and YL Ventures: Aim Security, led by founders Matan G. and Adir Gruss, has been acquired by Cato Networks! From their $10M seed round in 2023 through their $18M Series A, we had the privilege of working closely with the team as they built one of the fastest growing cybersecurity companies in Israel, and the category leader of AI Security. From day zero, Aim set out with a bold vision: to give enterprises a way to adopt AI securely and responsibly. In two years, Matan, Adir, and their exceptional team turned that vision into a reality, building a company trusted by some of the world’s largest organizations. This achievement demonstrates the power of brilliant founders, strong teams, and conviction from inception. For YL Ventures’ $400M Fund V, this is a significant outcome and another marker of Israel’s unique ability to produce companies that matter on a global stage. https://lnkd.in/erHnKmfN

According to preliminary figures from IVC Data and Insights & LeumiTech Q3/2025 Tech Review, Israeli tech companies raised $2.23 billion across 116 rounds, a 24% decrease from the previous quarter and a 10% decline year-over-year. Two large deals (over $100M each) accounted for $210M, about 10% of the total. Excluding $200M+ rounds, Q3/2025 marked the highest fundraising volume since early 2023, up 20% compared to Q2 and 50% vs. Q3/2024. Cybersecurity and Generative AI companies captured nearly 60% of all funding in 41 rounds. Since the beginning of 2025, follow-on investments have outpaced new investments, as VCs continue to back portfolio companies while showing caution on fresh deals. 📅 The full report will be published in October.
