After a relatively quiet start to June, the past three days — June 8 through 10 — delivered four funding rounds totaling over $210 million. The deals span a broader range of sectors than the recent cybersecurity-heavy wave: accessibility tech, AI cost optimization, autonomous offensive security, and cloud enforcement.
Rylo: $85M — from Nagish to the big stage
Rylo (formerly Nagish) announced an $85 million round led by General Catalyst (via its Customer Value Fund) and Canaan, at a $500 million valuation. The raise brings total funding to over $100 million and accompanies a full rebrand from Nagish to Rylo.
Rylo builds an AI-powered communication platform offering real-time speech and sign-language translation for the deaf and hard-of-hearing community. Headquartered in Tel Aviv with a New York office, the company has reached early profitability — partly thanks to FCC licensing that unlocked regulated revenue streams in the U.S. The ambitious target: $1 billion in revenue by 2028.
PointFive: $60M Series B led by Accel
PointFive, an AI and cloud cost optimization company, announced a $60 million Series B led by Accel at a $500 million post-money valuation. Participants include Salesforce Ventures, Index Ventures, Entrée Capital, and Vesey Ventures, bringing total funding to $96 million.
Founded by Alon Arvatz, Gal Ben David, and Amir Hozez — veterans of IntSights — PointFive operates an "AI Efficiency OS" that detects waste across configuration, telemetry, code, and cloud commitments, then automates remediation through GitHub PRs, Jira tickets, and Slack. ARR grew 6x between 2024 and 2025. Customers report average cloud cost savings of 15%–30%, with some channels seeing up to 99% reduction.
A Security: $37M — emerging from stealth
A Security (a.security) emerged from stealth with a $37 million raise across two tranches: a $5 million seed led by Cyberstarts, followed five months later by a $32 million round led by Cyberstarts and Lightspeed Venture Partners. Angel investors include Wiz founder Assaf Rappaport, Cyera CEO Yotam Segev, and Cerca Partners.
The company builds an autonomous offensive security platform powered by AI agents — detecting, simulating, and blocking AI-powered cyberattacks by identifying real exploit paths and neutralizing them before they can be weaponized. The founding team — CEO Yossi Torati, Omer Gull, and Yuval Itzchakov — comes from Check Point, Hunters, and IDF Unit 8200.
Aryon Security: $29M Series A
Aryon Security, an Israeli cloud security startup, announced a $29 million Series A led by U.S.-based Brightmind Partners and Shlomo Kramer's Skinos Ventures. Backers also include Datadog Ventures, Blumberg Capital, Viola Ventures, and prominent angels such as CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz, Robert Herjavec, and Armis founders Yevgeny Dibrov and Nadir Izrael.
Founded by veterans of Matzov, an elite IDF cyber unit, Aryon focuses on a "prevention before enforcement" approach: detecting and blocking cloud misconfigurations before they reach production. Total funding since the company's founding in late 2024 now stands at $38 million.
The big picture
The past three days mark a healthy recovery in deal activity after a relatively quiet first week of June (with the exception of Frame Security). The four rounds represent encouraging breadth: beyond traditional cybersecurity, we're seeing AI accessibility, AI efficiency tools, and autonomous offensive security all attracting meaningful capital.
Rylo's raise stands out — not just for the size, but for what it represents: Israeli impact tech that turns an AI-based business model into real revenue. PointFive, meanwhile, reflects a growing need: as companies pour more into AI, the operational and cloud costs climb, making optimization tools increasingly critical.
Bottom line
The first half of June keeps Israeli tech on a strong trajectory, with over $210 million added in three days. These aren't the half-billion raises that opened the month, but the steady, diverse deal flow signals a healthy market with sustained demand for Israeli companies — across AI, cybersecurity, and accessibility.
