Elevator Ventures’ Post

The Wall Street Journal did a great job highlighting Kobi Samboursky background and Glilot Capital Partners influence on the #VC culture. Since working with Nofar Amikam and Glilot Capital Partners as an advisor, I have been in awe by all of the founders and their experiences and passion for cyber. The most intriguing part about these founders and the Partners at Glilot is #Unit8200. Israel's venture capital ecosystem is a powerful engine driving the country's tech innovation, particularly in cybersecurity. The nation's success is rooted in a unique combination of factors, including a strong entrepreneurial culture, government support, and a steady flow of highly skilled talent. Israeli startups benefit from an environment that encourages risk-taking and innovation, backed by substantial venture capital investments. A significant contributor to this ecosystem is Unit 8200, the elite cyber and intelligence unit of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). Often referred to as Israel's equivalent of the NSA, Unit 8200 is renowned for producing some of the world's top cybersecurity experts. The skills and experience gained in the unit are directly applicable to the private sector, where former members frequently go on to found or join leading tech startups. The impact of Unit 8200 on Israel's startup culture is profound. Its alumni have created a network of entrepreneurs and investors who share a deep understanding of both technology and security. This has fostered a culture of collaboration and innovation, with many startups emerging from informal networks of former Unit 8200 members. I'm just happy to be witness in some of the newest innovations that will protect our technical landscape. #thankYouForReading #VC #M&A #cybersecurity #startups

🎉🎂 Hipp hipp hurray - Trust Dynamics is celebrating its 1st birthday! A year ago today, we registered our legal entity. While our idea of offering HSM as a Service is older and we had some initial meetings before this date, today marks the official birth of Trust Dynamics. Within our first year of operations, our service is up and running with live and test environments. A highlight of our journey was being selected for the Cyber Accelerator run by Tehnopol Startup Incubator and RIA, which has significantly helped us. We can see that there is a growing interest and promising opportunities in the market. We’ve had numerous meetings with potential clients, and the interest in our service continues to grow. We’re still at the beginning of our journey, with much work ahead to help Trust Dynamics expand. We’re excited about the opportunities and ready to overcome the challenges to achieve our goals. Our aim is to change the way businesses handle their digital identity. With the myriad of cyber threats out there, it’s crucial to ensure that businesses’ digital identities (certificates and cryptographic keys) are securely stored. That's why we introduced HSM as a Service. Looking ahead, we’re also exploring different add-ons to enhance our services. We will keep you updated with our news. Thank you to everyone who has supported us along the way. Here’s to many more milestones! #TrustDynamics #HSMasaService #CyberSecurity #StartUpJourney #FirstBirthday #DigitalIdentity

📣 NEW INVESTMENT! 🤩 We're happy to announce that we have invested in Danish cybersecurity startup Moxso, headed up by the two brilliant founders Rune Boye Knudsen and Mikkel Lindblom. 💰 We're co-leading a €1.5m round together with D2 Fund and are happy to be joined by Jens Karstoft on an angel ticket. 👨💻 🔐 Moxso provides a technical platform that helps organizations build a strong security culture. Moxso teaches employees 👩💼👨💼 how to identify and report phishing, minimize cyber risk through awareness training, and react to data breaches. 📈 Moxso is experiencing solid double-digit monthly growth and are preparing to enter new markets 🇸🇪 🇳🇴 📰 From today's article in ITWatch; Andreas Green Rasmussen from Ugly Duckling Ventures says (translated); "You don't have to read a lot of news to know that cybersecurity is a very big pull in the market and that training is in great demand. We believe that it is an opportune time when the market has not consolidated and the best product and the strongest commercial engine have the opportunity to go abroad. We have followed the founder team over the last year and waited for the perfect moment, when the business started to show real traction. We belive that moment is now." Andreas Green Rasmussen will take a seat on the board for UDV.
