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

Thank you to Sigalit Ben Hayoun and Yael Steinhart for inviting me to talk to Tel Aviv University Alumni Organization — and to Assaf Gilad for moderating the discussion. Time really does fly 😅 and it was a real privilege to be back to discuss just how much has changed in tech since I first started, including the recent groundbreaking new leaps into AI. What’s incredible is the pace of innovation in this field. Current market estimates range from 3-7 years until AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) is achieved (AI systems surpassing human cognitive abilities). When this is achieved one can expect the pace of change to be the fastest we’ve ever seen in history 📈 Technology and AI is neutral - neither good or bad. What matters is what we (humans) choose to do with it. With good intent, AGI could help solve some of the biggest global challenges (health, longevity, climate change, scientific discovery). With bad intent, it can create even bigger global challenges with significant risks. That is why Google’s motto on AI is so important - to be “bold and responsible”. The stakes have never been higher. Hope humanity rises to the moment, does the right thing, and makes the right choices 🌍 Adding below in comments the link to the full discussion (tip: if you just want a summary, past the link directly into Gemini 🪄) #TelAvivUniversityAlumni #GoogleAI

I teamed up with Zsuzsa Kecsmar, Co-founder & Chief Strategy Officer at Antavo AI Loyalty Cloud , to talk about how to increase loyalty revenue by 4X by adding more engaged and VIP profiles ahead of BFCM 2025. Together with Mailability.io, we built a strategy that combines AI-powered loyalty + AI-powered email intent scoring to drive real Klaviyo revenue. Because here’s the thing: Most brands treat loyalty like a standalone program. But when it’s connected to Klaviyo and powered by intent data it becomes a scalable growth engine. Here’s the 3-step approach we mapped out: 👉 Use Antavo AI Loyalty Cloud to track loyalty tiers, reward history, referrals, and behavior, directly in Klaviyo 👉 Let Mailability.io assign real-time Intent Scores to every profile, so you know who to activate, upgrade, or re-engage 👉 Combine loyalty status + intent to trigger AI flows and campaigns that match real customer behavior What that unlocks: → Push VIPs to repurchase faster with tier-based incentives → Invite high-intent shoppers into your loyalty program at the perfect moment → Re-engage inactive members with personalized offers and AI-driven flows and campaigns The result? → Smarter audience targeting → Stronger pre-BFCM engagement → 4X+ loyalty revenue from your best customers If you’re planning to maximize retention and LTV this holiday season this one's worth a swipe. Full breakdown in the slides. Let’s make loyalty work harder. Want to learn more? → https://lnkd.in/dCdwyQ2d
