The ultimate privilege in venture capital:Access to the elite companies that define entire industries.
For decades, only the world's most prestigious institutional investors could build portfolios like this. University endowments. Sovereign wealth funds. The investment committees at Sequoia and Andreessen Horowitz.They fight for access to companies exactly like these 23.
Today, that exclusivity ends.
Imagine walking into Goldman Sachs with a portfolio containing the 23 most dominant late-stage companies in one of the world's hottest tech ecosystems. Companies with nine-figure revenues. Market-leading positions. Clear paths to billion-dollar exits.
That's exactly what we've assembled.
38,000+ employees across Israel's tech elite are sitting on equity in companies that collectively represent $84 billion in value.These aren't just startups—they're the powerhouses reshaping global industries.
And through Aption's curated pool, you can own a piece of all of them.

This is the portfolio that venture capital legends dream of building.
Each company is a category leader. Together, they represent a comprehensive collection of late-stage excellence .
This isn't a random collection of promising startups.These 23 companies represent the culmination of Israel's 30-year journey to becoming a global tech superpower.
Whilst some are relatively new powerhouses, others have survived multiple market cycles. They've proven their business models at scale. They've built sustainable competitive advantages.They've reached the stage where success is more likely than failure.
Just as importantly,they're all approaching liquidity from different angles:
This portfolio gives you exposure to multiple types of exit.
Let's explore why these specific companies represent a blend of Israel's legendary tech ecosystem:
Cybersecurity Royalty:Israel's cybersecurity cluster is globally renowned, and six of these companies represent the absolute crown jewels. Armis protects the massive and growing IoT attack surface for Fortune 500 companies. Claroty secures operational technology and industrial systems that run critical infrastructure. Cyera provides cutting-edge data security posture management for the cloud era. Pentera offers revolutionary continuous automated red-team testing. Silverfort delivers unified identity protection across hybrid environments. Snyk secures the entire software development lifecycle.These companies don't just serve the cybersecurity market—they define it.
Enterprise Software Titans:Gong didn't just build a sales tool—they created an entirely new category called Revenue Intelligence and became the undisputed market leader, transforming how enterprise sales teams operate globally. HiBob revolutionized HR technology for the modern workforce with their intuitive, data-driven platform that's become essential infrastructure for growing companies. Coralogix redefined observability and monitoring for cloud-native applications, processing trillions of events and becoming mission-critical for DevOps teams worldwide.These platforms have become so essential that their enterprise customers literally cannot function without them.
Financial Infrastructure Giants:DEEL became the backbone enabling the global remote work revolution, processing payroll and compliance for distributed teams in 150+ countries—powering the future of work itself. Rapyd built the invisible infrastructure powering fintech innovation worldwide—when you use any modern payment app, there's a strong chance Rapyd's technology is processing it behind the scenes. Tipalti handles accounts payable automation for thousands of businesses, processing billions in payments annually and becoming the standard for financial operations.These companies aren't just serving the fintech boom—they're the infrastructure making it possible.
Data and AI Infrastructure Leaders:VAST Data provides next-generation storage architecture that's literally powering the AI revolution—their systems handle the massive datasets required for machine learning at enterprise scale. WEKA delivers ultra-high-performance storage for the most demanding workloads in AI, life sciences, and financial services, enabling breakthroughs that weren't previously possible. Redis keeps the modern internet running with blazing-fast in-memory data processing that powers everything from real-time recommendations to fraud detection.These companies are building the data infrastructure of the future.
Category-Defining Vertical Leaders:Navan (formerly TripActions) completely revolutionized corporate travel and expense management with their unified platform, becoming essential for any company managing business travel. Guesty built the definitive property management platform for short-term rentals and hotels, powering a massive portion of the global hospitality industry. WSC Sports uses cutting-edge AI to automatically create sports highlights and content for leagues and broadcasters worldwide, transforming how sports content is created and consumed.
Each company absolutely dominates its category. Together, they represent industrial-strength diversification across the most exciting sectors in tech.
These aren't promising startups—they're proven market leaders with massive businesses.Nine-figure revenues. Loyal enterprise customers paying significant annual contracts. Multiple competitive moats protecting their market positions.
But here's what elevates them above every other collection of "hot companies":they combine reliable growth with downside protection.These aren't growth-at-all-costs startups burning through venture capital. They're mature businesses with real revenue, real customers, and clear paths to profitability.
They're market leaders in large, defensible categoriesand strong customer retention rates.
In other words: these businesses have real, substantial value.
Most importantly,they're all racing toward the same finish line: liquidity.IPO windows are opening. Strategic acquirers are active.Multiple paths to billion-dollar exits are converging simultaneously.

The IPO market is showing strong signs of life after a challenging period.Quality companies are testing the public markets again. Investment bankers are taking meetings with promising late-stage companies.The best companies are positioning for exits.
The new reality is encouraging:Companies with significant revenue scale are getting serious attention from top-tier investment banks, and a few have already IPO’s this year. e-Toro was the first Israeli company to cross the line.The "growth at any cost" era is over. Public market investors want real businesses with real profits and predictable growth.
Guess what? These 23 companies fit that profile.
Will Cato Networks lead the charge with their long-awaited IPO?They have the revenue scale and market leadership position.
Will Redis, with their profitable, predictable business model, be a safer choice that leads the pack?
Will one of the cybersecurity giants like Armis or Snyk ride the massive wave of increasing enterprise security spending?
Will DEEL capitalize on the permanent structural shift to remote work that's created a massive new market?
The beauty of owning even part of this portfolio is that you don't have to guess.You win regardless of which companies cross the finish line first, second, or third.
For decades, building a portfolio like this required:
Even the world's most prestigious institutional investors struggle to build portfolios this strong.They compete fiercely for allocation in the best companies. They pay premium prices in late-stage rounds.They never get the employee equity pricing that you can access.
Through Aption's curated pool, you get what Wall Street's biggest funds fight for:exposure to an elite portfolio at prices that institutional investors could never achieve.
Think about this for a moment:You're likely getting a better entry price than many of the investors who come in at late stage rounds. You buy in at whatever discount you exercise your options at.Those are entry prices that reflect the historical journey of these companies, not their current market valuations.
No institutional investor could build a portfolio this strong at the entry prices that your options give you.
Let's examine how owning this elite portfolio may improve your investment position:
The power-law dynamics of venture portfolios are well-established:In any collection of late-stage companies, a small number of explosive winners drive the majority of portfolio returns.
Your single company might be that explosive winner.But statistically, it's more likely that 2-3 companies in this portfolio of 23 will be the explosive winners that define the entire generation of Israeli tech companies.
By owning the entire portfolio, you're you statistically better placed to capture those outliers.
We have strictly limited spots available for each company in this pool.This isn't artificial scarcity—it's mathematical reality.To maintain the portfolio balance that makes this offering attractive, we can only include a specific percentage of each company's outstanding equity.
The employees of these 23 companies know they work for exceptional businesses.They've seen the growth trajectories. They understand the competitive advantages. They know the market opportunities.
What they also understand is the power of diversification at this level.Rather than betting everything on their single exceptional company, they can own pieces of all 23 exceptional companies.
You already own equity in one outstanding company.That's an achievement that puts you in an elite company globally.
Why own one outstanding company when you can own 23?
This isn't about reducing your exposure to success—it's aboutmultiplying your exposure to the entire wave of Israeli tech companies approaching liquidity.
This portfolio represents the investment opportunity of a generation.The chance to own a collection of companies that institutional investors would fight to access, at prices they could never achieve.
The elite 23 are ready for liquidity. The question is: are you ready to own them all?
