The Startup That Thinks AI Finance Needs Better Plumbing, Not Another Dashboard

Sagi Rodin
Sagi Rodin is the CEO and co-founder of Frontegg, a customer identity and access management (CIAM) platform for B2B SaaS companies. He started coding at 14, served as a database instructor in the Israeli army, earned a computer software engineering degree from the Technion, and led cloud security work at Check Point before spinning the idea for Frontegg out of a problem he kept hitting: every new app needed the same login, user management, and admin plumbing built from scratch. Founded in 2019 with CTO Aviad Mizrachi, Frontegg has raised roughly $70 million and gives developers plug-and-play identity infrastructure so they can focus on their core product.
Jethro
Jethro (JethroData) is an enterprise software company that makes interactive business intelligence run fast on big data. Its index-based SQL engine sits between BI tools like Tableau, Qlik and MicroStrategy and data stored in Hadoop or Amazon S3, using full indexing, auto-cubes and result caching to return queries in seconds across tens of billions of rows and thousands of concurrent users - at Hadoop-scale cost and without manual data engineering.
MDClone
MDClone is a healthcare data company that lets clinicians, researchers, and analysts explore patient data without touching real patient records. Its ADAMS platform ingests structured and unstructured health-system data into a longitudinal database, then generates statistically faithful synthetic data that carries no risk to patient privacy. That combination turns months-long, IRB-heavy data requests into self-service exploration, letting front-line staff ask their own questions, run analyses, and share results across organizations. Founded in Israel in 2016 and used across the U.S., Canada, and 100% of the Israeli healthcare market, MDClone has raised roughly $112M to expand data-driven discovery in health systems, government, payers, and life sciences.
Pecan AI
Pecan AI is an Israeli-American software company that builds a predictive analytics platform aimed at business teams rather than data scientists. Founded in 2018 by computational-neuroscience PhDs Zohar Bronfman and Noam Brezis, Pecan combines automated machine learning with large language models - a category it calls Predictive GenAI - so analysts can describe a business problem in plain language and get production-ready predictive models for churn, customer lifetime value, demand forecasting, lead scoring and campaign ROI. The company has raised roughly $127M, including a $66M Series C in 2022 led by Insight Partners with GV and GGV Capital, and in 2025 launched DemandForecast.ai for supply-chain forecasting.
Ehud Bendory
Ehud Bendory is the CEO and co-founder of 3NT Medical, a Rosh Ha'ayin, Israel company building sterile, single-use endoscopes for ear, nose, and throat specialists. An electrical engineer with an MBA and a former IDF Unit 8200 intelligence officer, he has spent roughly two decades in the Israeli medical device industry, and now leads a team whose Colibri and Peregrine scopes have earned FDA 510(k) clearance and CE marking. He co-founded the company with his brother Eran and has raised tens of millions in venture funding, including a round led by Japan's HOYA Corporation.
Itamar Apelblat
Itamar Apelblat is the co-founder and CEO of Token Security, a cybersecurity company focused on securing non-human identities (NHIs) - the service accounts, API tokens, workloads, and AI agents that now vastly outnumber human users inside enterprises. A veteran of Israel's Unit 8200 with more than 15 years in cybersecurity, he founded Token Security in 2023 with Ido Shlomo after encountering a forgotten contractor service account that still had full access to a company's systems. The company emerged from stealth in 2024 and raised a $20M Series A in January 2025, relocating its headquarters to New York as enterprises race to secure the machine-first, AI-agent era.
Maor Levran
Maor Levran is the co-founder and CEO of Slice, an AI-powered global equity platform that helps finance and legal teams issue, track, and stay compliant with equity compensation across roughly 60 countries. A corporate lawyer for over a decade who was repeatedly ranked a Top Tech Attorney by The Legal 500, Levran started Slice in 2022 after watching companies struggle - and sometimes face six-figure fines - when granting stock options and RSUs to international employees. Slice has raised $32 million total, including a $25 million Series A led by Insight Partners in early 2026, and manages equity for more than 70,000 employees at companies such as Wiz, Wayve, and Aidoc.
Uri Bettesh
Uri Bettesh is the founder and CEO of Datos Health, a remote care automation company he started in 2015 after a career in retail enterprise software. He spent almost two decades building point-of-sale and merchandising systems at Retalix and NCR before turning to healthcare, inspired by his father-in-law's sudden open-heart surgery. Datos builds a no-code platform that lets hospitals design and automate their own remote care programs across conditions like cardiac care, oncology and chronic disease, and it raised a $7M Series A in 2020 bringing total funding to $9.2M. Bettesh frames the work as building the foundation for the 'bedless hospital' - moving care out of the ward and into the home.
Yishai Lehavi
Yishai Lehavi is the co-founder and CEO of TULU, a New York and Tel Aviv-born proptech company that turns dead lobby space in apartment buildings into 24/7 on-demand rental hubs for vacuums, gaming consoles, e-scooters and household goods. A trained architect who once built a mobile app to redistribute passengers on crowded trains, Lehavi met co-founder Yael Shemer at MIT's designX accelerator and bet the company on a simple idea: people want access to things, not ownership of them. TULU now serves more than 500,000 residents across 60 cities on both sides of the Atlantic and has raised roughly $53M in total funding.
Vega
Vega is an AI-native cybersecurity company building a federated Security Analytics Mesh that lets security teams detect, search, and investigate threats directly where their data already lives - cloud platforms, data lakes, SIEMs, and cold storage - without forcing expensive centralized ingestion. Founded in 2024 by Unit 8200 and Intel Granulate veterans Shay Sandler and Eli Rozen, Vega raised $185M across three rounds in under two years and reached an ~$800M valuation, while signing multimillion-dollar contracts with global banks, healthcare giants, and Fortune 200 firms.
Noam Mills
Noam Mills is the co-founder and CEO of Panax, an AI-native cash flow management platform for mid-market and enterprise finance teams. Before fintech, she was an elite epee fencer who ranked first in the world among under-20 competitors and became the first Israeli to fence epee at the Olympics, at Beijing 2008. She studied economics at Harvard, earned a Harvard MBA, and built a finance career across BCG, FIMI Opportunity Funds, SparkBeyond, and Mixtiles before founding Panax in 2022.
Exodigo
Exodigo is an AI-powered underground mapping company that fuses multiple geophysical sensors with machine learning to produce non-intrusive 3D maps of what lies beneath the surface, helping transit agencies, utilities and engineers de-risk multi-billion-dollar infrastructure projects.
