Had a great time discussing the current situation in Israel and VC investment with Matt Cohen from Ripple Ventures on his podcast. We covered why I think it will cause even more VC investments in the Israeli ecosystem, expansion to the US, and other exciting topics.
Thanks for jumping in the Tank Sergey! 🙏
Sensi.AI raises $31M B round from oren zeev and Insight Partners to bring 24/7 monitoring for seniors. Flint Capital led the Seed round and we participated in this round too. Romi Gubes, Nevo Elmalem, and Alon Brener you rock!
We’re proud to announce that we have successfully exited our investment in AvaFin, a fintech startup. The company, which increased consumer loan accessibility and reduced time-to-cash indicators, was acquired by Capitec, South Africa’s largest bank by retail customers. Congratulations to Davis Barons, Matiss Ansviesulis, Patrick Köck, and all the AvaFin team for reaching this milestone. It was an honor to be a part of your journey, and we wish you all the best in what’s to come. https://lnkd.in/exWYfbBP
Congrats to David Primor & Roy Azoulay at Cynomi on their $20M A round led Canaan!
Exciting News! Cynomi has raised an additional $20 million! The successful funding round was led by Canaan along with return investors Flint Capital, s16vc: Portfolio News & Jobs and Aloniq. This investment will fuel our mission to bring expert-level security and compliance services to SMEs with our AI-driven vCISO platform. 4 years ago, Roy Azoulay and I set out to bring a solution to MSPs and MSSPs that would address the CISO talent gap in an automated and scalable manner. Today, Cynomi already has more than 100 service providers and partners using our platform, building their business and securing recurring revenue. I’d like to thank everyone involved: our team, partners and investors. Looking forward to the exciting times ahead. Read more in my blog: https://hubs.la/Q02s_w010
For the second consecutive year, I will host a round table for startup founders at TechCrunch Early Stage. Thanks, TechCrunch and Selyca Medford, it is always a pleasure! As a VC, I've always believed our job goes beyond just supporting our portfolio's founders. It's also about sharing insights with others, nurturing the development of promising startups, and boosting their visibility with investors. This year, I'll be diving into how early-stage startups can grab investors' attention despite the tight funding environment and what we look for in pitch decks. See you in Boston! https://lnkd.in/eVrCtA5W
Thanks to James Spiro and Elihay Vidal from CTech by Calcalist for the opportunity to talk about VC trends and why we are bullish on the Israeli ecosystem and excited about its future!
Thrilled to announce that this Wednesday at Sofaer Global MBA at Tel Aviv University we are going to have the privilege of hearing a lecture from Sergey Gribov GP of Flint Capital.
We are happy to announce that for the second consecutive year, Flint Capital has been recognized as a founder-friendly investor by @Inc, and notably, we were among only 14 VCs for early-stage startups. This acknowledgment resonates deeply with us. Being founder-friendly is at the heart of our #venture approach. We believe in fostering a collaborative relationship with every #entrepreneur we back, empowering them to drive industry-altering innovations. This recognition reaffirms our commitment to being a reliable partner to #founders, and we are looking forward to continuing our support for groundbreaking ventures in the years to come. https://lnkd.in/e4rWGhDg #founderfriendly
Flint Capital, along with more than 500 venture capital firms within the Venture Capital Community, has signed a joint statement expressing support for the people of Israel during these days. At this difficult moment, we want to extend our support to the country with which we have strong connections and to its business community. Together with our colleagues from other venture funds, we urge the global venture community to support Israeli startups, entrepreneurs, and investors during these challenging times and to engage with them as they navigate through these terrible circumstances.
