Glilot Capital Raises $500 Million and Expands Leadership With Rinat Remler Appointment

Fourteen years ago, Glilot Capital launched with a simple thesis: Israeli entrepreneurs could build the world’s most important cybersecurity and enterprise software companies if they had the right backing. Today, the firm has grown into one of the industry’s best performers, and its latest $500 million raise underscores how far it has come.

The new capital, secured from leading financial institutions across the United States, Europe, and Israel, pushes Glilot’s assets under management above $1 billion. It will be split across Glilot Seed and Glilot Plus, funding both early-stage startups and growth-stage scale-ups.

“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.”

Expanding the Partner Table

Alongside the raise, Glilot announced a new addition to its leadership team: Rinat Remler, who joins as an operating partner. She becomes the fifth partner at the firm and will focus on strengthening portfolio support and helping founders expand into global markets.

“We are thrilled to welcome Rinat Remler as our newest partner,” said Co-Founder & Managing Partner Arik Kleinstein. “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.”

A Record Few Can Match

Since its founding in 2011, Glilot has built one of the strongest track records in venture capital. Its first fund achieved an unprecedented 8-for-8 in successful exits, and the firm has since notched 22 exits overall.

The portfolio includes category leaders such as AtBay in cyber insurance, UpStream in automotive cybersecurity, and ScaleOps in FinOps. Acquisitions like Palo Alto’s purchase of Cider Security and Rapyd7’s acquisition of IntSights have reinforced Glilot’s reputation for spotting winners early. More recent financings, including Noma’s $100 million Series B, highlight its ability to back startups at the forefront of AI and security.

“These outcomes highlight Glilot’s ability to identify market-defining startups early and provide the resources and strategic connections needed for accelerated growth,” the company noted in its press release.

Value Creation as DNA

A key part of Glilot’s evolution has been its structured Value Creation program, built to help companies reach product-market fit at “hypersonic speed.” The program provides founders with direct access to advisors, potential customers, and unfiltered market feedback on product strengths, differentiation, and pricing.

The approach unfolds in three phases: defining the PMF hypothesis, stress-testing assumptions through five acceleration rounds with customers, and scaling once PMF is achieved. Companies also get support on executive hires, pipeline building, and operational processes.

By making this program its largest internal department, Glilot has staked out a position as a scaling partner. “This new capital not only validates our past performance but also empowers us to continue and grow our Cyber and AI philosophy,” Samboursky said. “We deeply believe in the Israeli ecosystem and will continue to lead investments in the best local and global talent.”

Looking Ahead

The dual announcements of a half-billion-dollar raise and the appointment of a new partner signal Glilot’s ambitions for the next chapter. As enterprises confront the twin challenges of escalating cyber threats and the disruptive power of AI, the firm is positioning itself as a go-to partner for founders solving these problems at scale.

For Glilot, the formula is now well established: raise global capital, recruit top talent, and deliver hands-on support to entrepreneurs. With more than $1 billion under management and an expanded leadership team, the firm is preparing to shape the future of cybersecurity and enterprise software for the next decade.
