Today is a big day. Iโ€™m proud to announce that @alice_dot_io has raised $140 million, led by our remarkable investors at @ApaxDigital, with participation from @Samsung , @SentinelOne, @MajInvest, MoreTech, Phoenix and our existing investors @CRV, @GroveVentures, @NorwestVP, @HighlandEurope, ClalTech, @ResoluteVC and others. As companies race to implement AI, keeping it secure is no longer optional, itโ€™s foundational. There are infinite ways to break an AI, and you canโ€™t defend against something youโ€™ve never seen. After nearly a decade fighting fraud, abuse and cyberattacks across the world's biggest platforms, weโ€™ve seen more than anyone. Now we're putting that experience to work to protect the future of AI. AI is shaping the future. Weโ€™re making it safer.

The AI conversation we're not having. The companies that will define this era of AI are not the ones in the headlines. The edge belongs to the founders and investors willing to look where building is still hard. #Opinion @lotanlev calcalistech.com/ctechnews/aโ€ฆ

Weโ€™re Onfire and weโ€™re officially live. ๐Ÿ”ฅ Today weโ€™re coming out of stealth with a $20M initial investment and unveiling the Onfire Agent. Our mission from day one is simple (but ambitious): help every company that sells to technical buyers run an AI-driven, best-in-class go-to-market. The future of GTM isnโ€™t more tools or dashboards- itโ€™s about understanding people: what they want, why they act, and when theyโ€™re ready to engage. Thatโ€™s the vision behind Onfire: a world where every business conversation starts with meaning, not guesswork. To our customers and investors- thank you for the conviction. To our team- you made this moment. ๐Ÿ™Œ In the comments: articles on our funding and how it fuels our mission to turn real intent into real revenue. Weโ€™re just getting started. ๐Ÿ”ฅ

๐ŸŽงThe full conversation between Victoriya Kalmanovich and Lotan Levkowitz for @BarvazG , is now live! Together, they explored how AI is not spelling doomsday for developersโ€”but fueling a new kind of industrial revolution. This isnโ€™t just about new tools. Itโ€™s about new mindsets, roles, and realities. ๐Ÿ” In this episode: ๐Ÿ”น The developer role is evolvingโ€”from writing code to owning product, UX, security, and DevOps thinking. ๐Ÿ”น Being an early adopter of AI tools is becoming a must, not a nice-to-have. ๐Ÿ”น Weโ€™re witnessing a shift, not a replacementโ€”AI wonโ€™t replace developers, but it will replace tasks. ๐Ÿ”น The required new skillset: critical thinking, AI literacy, process leadership, and deep understanding of business and security contexts. ๐Ÿ”น Juniors may face a tougher entry point todayโ€”but itโ€™s temporary. The next generation of engineers will be โ€œAI-native,โ€ just like earlier generations were โ€œcloud-nativeโ€ or โ€œmobile-first.โ€ ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ Listen in: Spotify โ†’ open.spotify.com/episode/2bfโ€ฆ YouTube โ†’ youtube.com/watch?v=3NMw4Qhkโ€ฆ Thanks to @LinearB_Inc for hosting and to the incredible @TLVCommunity for making it happen. @lotanlev #AI #SoftwareDevelopment #ShiftHappens #Barvazgumi #GroveVentures #DevOps #EngineeringCareers

Wanting work-life balance is OK. Wanting to build a breakthrough startup is OK. But you shouldn't expect both. In 30+ years and knowing hundreds of founders, I've never met a single founder that built a breakthrough startup while maintaining work-life balance. Any competitive human endeavor requires sacrifice to stand-out. Whether it's athletics, arts or entrepreneurship. Raw talent is not enough. You have to toil.

If you want to be a contrarian, you need to develop emotional strength to endure being a "weird animal." I personally think that it is always preferred to be a "weird animal" than a sheep. @lotanlev and Grove Ventures have built themselves on that. Check out what Lotan has to say.
