Clumio Inc.
Investor & Advisor
Founded by serial innovators who recognize that the full potential of the cloud is still waiting to be tapped. The cloud’s ability to scale, its flexible economics and its inherent elasticity offers IT a rich foundation for delivering critical services to their organizations. But most approaches to unlock these advantages fall short. Most simply skim the surface, and don’t dive deep into what the cloud truly has to offer. Determined to take full advantage of the public cloud without taking short cuts, we built a platform that focuses on bringing authentic SaaS to solve the challenges of data protection.
Clumio has reimagined enterprise backup and recovery, taking full advantage of the scale, economics, and elasticity of the public cloud to give you a new and game changing backup experience. Clumio eliminates the complexity of managing infrastructure, on-premise and in the cloud, to deliver secure and authentic SaaS.
Deep Instinct
CEO & Investor
Using the power of deep learning, Deep Instinct is reshaping the mindset in cybersecurity, from reactive to preventative.
Dissatisfied with the available cybersecurity companies, Guy Caspi, Nadav Maman and Eli David (PhD) dedicated themselves to pursuing the uncharted territory of deep learning to find a security product that would stop even the most sophisticated types of attacks. Together, they founded Deep Instinct, the world’s first and only deep learning cybersecurity company. Taking this wildly innovative approach necessitated looking at things differently. Instead of looking for a cure, they looked to prevent. And through venturing into the depths of deep learning, they developed an artificial neural network brain that holds an instinctive ability to identify attacks in just milliseconds. Doing so, with the highest rate of detections and minimal false positives.

Rubrik
Investor & Advisor
Rubrik's Zero Trust Data Management™ protect data and applications from ransomware, natural disasters, and operational failures. Many ransomware attacks target backups. That’s why it’s vital to ensure backups are 100% protected and resilient. With zero trust data management no one is trustworthy. No user. No application. No device. To meet this new standard, data must be natively immutable so that it can never be modified, encrypted, or deleted by ransomware. Data needs to be ready at all times so one can recover what one need, and never pay a ransom.
Rubrik is named in the top 25 of the 2021 Forbes Cloud 100. This year marks the fifth year that Rubrik has placed on the Forbes Cloud 100 list.

Whether it’s terabytes or petabytes, SQream’s accelerated ingestion and analysis reduces query time from days to hours, and hours to minutes.
