Israeli venture firm Team8 has raised $365 million in new capital to invest in the next generation of artificial intelligence (AI) companies. The new capital includes $265m. for Team8 Capital’s third fund and over $100m earmarked for follow-on investments in existing portfolio companies. The fund is led by managing partners Sarit Firon and Liran Grinberg, alongside partners Ori Barzilay and Hadar Siterman. It will focus primarily on Seed and Series A companies developing AI-native technologies across cybersecurity, software infrastructure, fintech, and digital health. The latest fundraising brings Team8’s total assets under management to nearly $2b. across eight funds launched since the firm was founded in 2014. The fund has already recorded an exit before reaching its final close. In February, Palo Alto Networks reported an agreement to acquire Israeli cybersecurity start-up Koi Security in a deal valued at approximately $400m. Team8 said the new fund comes at a critical moment for enterprises, as the rapid development of generative and agentic AI is forcing companies to rethink their products, workflows, infrastructure, and security models.
