Glilot Capital, consistently ranked among the world’s top-performing venture capital firms, today announced it has raised a significant $500 million from leading financial institutions across the United States, Europe, and Israel. The new capital will be allocated across Glilot Seed and Glilot Plus, further strengthening the firm’s mission of backing exceptional entrepreneurs building cybersecurity, enterprise, and AI software.
This milestone brings Glilot’s total assets under management to over $1 billion, marking a significant step in the firm’s continued global expansion and long-standing commitment to supporting category-defining technology companies.
“This raise reflects the confidence global financial institutions have in our unique investment model and track record of performance,” said Kobi Samboursky, Co-Founder & Managing Partner. “We are proud to partner with investors who share our vision of supporting extraordinary entrepreneurs building disruptive technologies that shape the future of enterprise software and cybersecurity.”
In addition, Glilot announced the expansion of its leadership team with the appointment of Rinat Remler as its fifth partner, joining as an operating partner.

“We are thrilled to welcome Rinat Semler as our newest partner״ added Arik Kleinstein, Co-Founder & Managing Partner. “Rinat brings deep operational expertise and a strong track record of working alongside founders to scale globally. Her addition strengthens our ability to provide hands-on support for entrepreneurs at every stage of their journey.
Founded in 2011, Glilot has consistently ranked among the top-performing VCs. With 22 exits to date, including a perfect 8-for-8 record in its first fund, the firm has established one of the industry’s strongest track records.
Some of the firm’s notable companies include; AtBay (cyber insurance leader), UpStream (leader of cyber mobility/automotive), Cider Security (acquired by Palo Alto), IntSights (acquired by Rapyd7), Noma (AI security, recently raised a $100M Series B), Appcharge (marketplace infrastructure, recently raised $58M Series B), and ScaleOps (FinOps, recently raised $58M). These outcomes highlight Glilot’s ability to identify market-defining startups early and provide the resources and strategic connections needed for accelerated growth.
“This new capital not only validates our past performance but also empowers us to continue and grow our Cyber and AI philosophy," said Samboursky. “We deeply believe in the Israeli ecosystem and will continue to lead investments in the best local and global talent. ”
Beyond financial backing, Glilot has built one of the industry’s most comprehensive value creation engines, actively supporting its portfolio companies with go-to-market strategies, partnerships with Fortune 1000 executives, and deep sector expertise. This approach has made the Value Creation department the largest at the firm, cementing Glilot’s reputation as a hands-on partner for entrepreneurs scaling globally.
With this raise, Glilot is well-positioned to continue its mission of identifying, funding, and accelerating the next generation of technology leaders, from early-stage innovators to high-growth disruptors transforming engine industries.
