Glilot Capital Raises $500 Million, Names Rinat Remler as Partner Amid Expansion
Glilot Capital secures $500M raise, topping $1B AUM, and names Rinat Remler partner to boost global scaling and portfolio support.
Glilot Capital has announced a $500 million raise backed by institutional investors from the United States, Europe, and Israel, pushing the firm’s assets under management past $1 billion. The new capital will be deployed across Glilot Seed and Glilot Plus, extending the firm’s ability to support both early-stage and growth-stage technology companies in cybersecurity, AI, and enterprise software.
“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 Leadership Team
The raise coincides with a leadership expansion. Glilot appointed Rinat Remler as its fifth partner, joining as an operating partner with a mandate to strengthen portfolio support and accelerate global scaling. Her addition reflects Glilot’s continued emphasis on combining financial capital with operational expertise.
“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 Built on Exits
Since its founding in 2011, Glilot has established itself as one of the top-performing venture capital firms globally, with 22 exits to date. Its first fund delivered an unprecedented 8-for-8 exit record.
Portfolio companies include AtBay, a cyber insurance leader; UpStream, a pioneer in automotive cybersecurity; and ScaleOps, a FinOps player that recently raised $58 million. Successful exits include Cider Security, acquired by Palo Alto Networks, and IntSights, acquired by Rapyd7. More recent growth rounds, such as Noma’s $100 million Series B, highlight Glilot’s ability to back companies poised to lead in emerging categories.
“These outcomes highlight Glilot’s ability to identify market-defining startups early and provide the resources and strategic connections needed for accelerated growth,” Samboursky noted.
Scaling Through Value Creation
Glilot’s model extends beyond capital deployment. Its Value Creation department is the largest within the firm, connecting startups with Fortune 1000 executives, supporting go-to-market strategies, and offering deep sector expertise. The structure reflects Glilot’s belief that in today’s environment, operational backing is as critical as funding.
“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.”
Positioned for What Comes Next
The $500 million raise comes at a moment of both opportunity and caution in venture markets. While global VC fundraising has slowed, cybersecurity and AI remain among the most resilient sectors as enterprises face rising security challenges and widespread AI adoption.
With over $1 billion under management and a leadership team reinforced by Rinat Remler’s appointment, Glilot Capital is positioning itself to shape the next generation of category-defining startups. Its focus on combining financial strength with operational depth suggests the firm intends to back entrepreneurs and scale alongside them as global markets evolve.
