Opti Raises $20 Million for Identity Security Platform

Israeli cybersecurity startup Opti has raised $20 million in seed funding to launch its AI-native identity and access management (IAM) platform. Founded in 2023 by cybersecurity veterans, Opti's solution features a context-aware engine that monitors access and risks across identities and applications, enhancing visibility and security for enterprises in finance, healthcare, retail, and technology sectors.

The funding round was led by Hetz Ventures, Mayfield Fund, and YL Ventures, among others, and will be used for product expansion and global growth. CEO Barak Perelman emphasizes the need for an intelligence layer to simplify identity management, allowing teams to focus on strategic opportunities.
