Back in November 2022, my very first meeting as a VC was with Udi Cohen, Vendict’s co-founder and CEO, while he was in the midst of raising Vendict’s Seed round. Even then, we were deeply impressed by Udi, the team, and their vision for transforming the GRC world, and we were waiting for the right time. Today, I’m excited to share that JAL Ventures Fund is investing in Vendict’s $10M Series A, led by Moneta VC, alongside existing investors NFX, Disruptive AI Venture Capital, Cardumen Capital, and Cyber Club London. Vendict’s AI-powered platform is redefining how companies handle governance, risk, and compliance, eliminating the tedious work of security questionnaires, vendor vetting, and audit documentation, so compliance teams can focus on strategy. Congratulations to Udi Cohen, Michael Keslassy, and the entire Vendict team - we’re thrilled to be part of this journey!

Big congratulations to enSights – just named one of TheMarker’s Top 15 Rising Startups of 2025! 🎉 enSights is reshaping clean energy infrastructure with an AI-powered platform that monitors and optimizes the performance of solar panels, energy storage, and EV charging systems. The software connects to existing hardware from all major vendors, unifies data into one control layer, detects anomalies in real time, and can even trigger automated service calls. With 50+ global customers and over a third of the Israeli market, enSights is setting a new standard for managing distributed energy systems. We’re proud to back Alon Mashkovich, Roy Fadida, and Dekel Yaacov as they scale enSights from Emek Hefer to the global energy stage.
