🚀 Welcoming Insignito Solutions Ltd to the ICI Fund Portfolio! Excited to share our investment in Insignito, an Israeli startup pioneering the field of #drone #acoustics. Insignito's AI-powered technologies dramatically reduce drone noise, enable accurate long-range acoustic detection, and provide mission planning tools that optimize performance in real-world environments. What makes Insignito truly stand out is its founding team — Itay Nourian (CEO), Yarden Eilat (CTO), and Dor Ruf (VP R&D) — three longtime colleagues from the Israeli Air Force who bring deep technical expertise, operational excellence, and the trust that comes from years of working together in high-stakes environments. We believe Insignito has the potential to set the global standard for drone acoustics, opening new opportunities across commercial, defense, and urban applications. 👏 Grateful to back this visionary team and excited to see what’s ahead. 📩 Read more about Insignito in our latest newsletter: https://lnkd.in/dgM5u24d .

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
