Glilot Capital Partners announced on Monday that it has raised $220 million for its fourth Seed fund. The fund, led by Kobi Samborsky, Arik Kleinstein and Nofar Amikam, will invest in young companies in the fields of cybersecurity, enterprise software and developer tools. In addition, Glilot has another $180 million fund, Glilot+, which is led by Lior Litwak, and invests in growth stage companies. Joining the fourth seed fund as investors are leading cyber and SaaS entrepreneurs, as well as senior executives of global corporations.
Glilot Capital Partners was founded in 2011 by the fund’s managing partners, Kobi Samborsky and Arik Kleinstein. Since its inception, Glilot Capital has carried out 12 exits, including CyberX, LightCyber and IntSights. The fund’s portfolio comprises dozens of active companies, including At-Bay, CardinalOps, Cider Security, Cyolo, Ermetic, Lightlytics, Lightrun and Upstream.
“This fund is double the size of our previous one,” Kleinstein told Calcalist. “Our previous fund performed well and that allowed us to raise a new fund. All of our investors asked to be part of the new fund and that will allow us to make many more investments. Institutional Israeli investors have invested in us from the start, including Menorah Mivtachim and Altshuler Shaham, who are significant investors.”
