Overview

  • Accel led the seed and Series A financing, joined by Cyberstarts, Redpoint, and CRV.
  • Founded in 2024 by CEO Shay Sandler and CTO Eli Rozen, the company traces its roots to Israel’s Unit 8200 and Intel’s Granulate.
  • Vega markets an analyze-in-place platform that uses AI to surface detections, map and fix coverage gaps, and cut time spent hunting data.
  • The company says it already serves Fortune 20 and Fortune 500 firms, major banks, and a top‑10 healthcare organization, and it has teams in the United States and Israel.
  • The debut coincides with heightened investor interest in Israeli cybersecurity, with press comparisons pointing to Google’s proposed $32 billion acquisition of Wiz.
