Picture Capital

Picture Capital is thrilled to participate in Ocean's $28M funding, alongside Lightspeed and Cerca Partners! Ocean is building "email security that goes deep" tackling one of the most critical vulnerabilities in today's enterprise landscape. As artificial intelligence continues to evolve, the threat vectors are changing rapidly, and legacy solutions simply can't keep up. Our General Partner and Ocean board member, Michael Fey, shares our conviction in this partnership: "We invested in a team and a vision but the thesis was undeniable. AI broke email security, and it handed attackers an unfair advantage overnight. What stood out was that the team came from the offensive side. They don't just understand the threat landscape - they used to shape it as attackers. AI is a prime technology to solve it once and for all. It excels at understanding language, intent, and context. Exactly what email security solution requires. Right team, right time." Congratulations to Shay Shwartz 🌊, Oran Moyal, and the entire Ocean team on this massive milestone! We're excited to dive deep and support your mission to secure enterprise communication. 🌊 #Cybersecurity #EmailSecurity #AI #VentureCapital #Fundraising #PictureCapital #Ocean Michael Fey | Rakesh K.

At Picture Capital, we’ve been in the trenches with Tal Shlomo and Sharon Shmueli since their Seed round. Today, we are proud to see Frame Security launch out of stealth with a major funding milestone led by Team8, Index Ventures, and Picture Capital. It’s been a privilege to watch Tal and Sharon build. They’ve assembled a world-class team and scaled a platform that already safeguards hundreds of thousands of users, from high-growth startups to the Fortune 500. Their focus is clear: the "human layer" isn't broken because people don't care, but because traditional tools are obsolete in the AI era. As our General Partner and Frame board member, Dan Amiga, puts it: "Frame is the first company to truly treat human security as a real-time data problem, turning employees from a vulnerability into a proactive defense layer." Frame is an AI-driven platform that automates the entire defense lifecycle: - Personalized Training: Tailored programs and hyper-realistic simulations across voice, video, and email. - Continuous Risk Modeling: Real-time "Human Risk Scores" to prioritize interventions. - Automated Triage: AI-powered analysis of reported threats across every channel. We couldn't be more excited to continue our partnership with Tal, Sharon, and the entire team as they redefine the future of Human Security. Welcome to the spotlight, Frame! 🥂 💪 #CyberSecurity #AI #VentureCapital #SeriesA #StealthLaunch #PictureCapital #HumanSecurity Dan Amiga | Rakesh K.

🚨 Active Zero-Day Alert: The threat research team at Upwind Security has identified and is actively responding to a new, highly evasive supply chain attack in npm dubbed "Nodes to Snakes." This isn't a spray-and-pray campaign. Malicious packages are deploying scripts that fingerprint the host environment before pulling a second-stage payload, completely evading traditional static and sandbox detection. These threats aren't hacked into your system; they are invited in through trusted dependencies. If you rely on external npm packages, it is urgent that you verify what is actually executing in your environment at runtime, not just what was installed. 🔗 Read Upwind’s full technical breakdown and ongoing updates here: https://lnkd.in/gDa9Xgxh

Thrilled to announce our continued partnership with ScaleOps as they close a $130M Series C at an $800M+ valuation! Manual cloud and AI infrastructure management is broken. ScaleOps is leading the new category of Autonomous Resource Management, ensuring applications and AI models get exactly the resources they need, the moment they need them. This milestone is especially meaningful for us. Picture Capital GP Dan Amiga and ScaleOps CEO Yodar Shafrir worked together in the early days of Fireglass (acquired by Symantec). When Yodar set out to solve this massive infrastructure problem, Dan wrote the very first check into ScaleOps. "The era of engineers manually tuning infrastructure is over. ScaleOps recognized early on that infrastructure must be autonomous to support the sheer scale of modern AI. We are incredibly proud to continue backing a team that is actively defining and leading an entirely new category."  — Dan Amiga, General Partner, Picture Capital Congratulations to the entire ScaleOps team on reaching $210M in total funding! Proud to invest alongside Insight Partners, Lightspeed, NFX, and Glilot Capital. Dan Amiga | Rakesh K.

We are incredibly proud to announce that Bold Security has closed its Series A funding round, led by Red Dot Capital Partners and Bessemer Venture Partners, with Picture Capital reaffirming our conviction through a significant follow-on investment. Bold is redefining how enterprises protect data in the AI era. Instead of trying to retrofit legacy security controls onto new technologies, Bold started with a simple premise: securing the modern enterprise requires a new architecture, beginning at the AI-enabled endpoint. Our General Partner and Bold Board Member, Michael Fey, captures exactly why we continue to back this team: "Everyone is trying to use AI to rebuild legacy approaches. We invested in Bold because they took a fresh look at how an AI-enabled endpoint can fundamentally change the trajectory of security. Bold Security is rewriting the playbook for what we should expect from endpoint agents and the role they play in securing and reducing enterprise risk at the edge of the enterprise. Their execution has been phenomenal, which is exactly why we are excited to double down on our investment and partner alongside Bessemer and Red Dot Capital to accelerate Bold's hypergrowth." Congratulations to Nati Hazut, Hadar Krasner, Omri Mallis, and the entire Bold Security team! Bold Security | Picture Capital Michael Fey | Rakesh K.

Huge milestone today for Koi! Seeing this team reach this level of scale is a masterclass in execution. Looking back, we at Picture Capital are incredibly proud to have written the first seed check into the company. That early conviction allowed us to become their largest institutional owners. But more importantly, it gave us a front-row seat to one of the most impressive builds in the industry. When Amit Assaraf 🎏, Idan Dardikman 🎏, Itay Kruk 🎏 and the team were raising their seed round, they had no shortage of interest. They ultimately chose to partner with us because they wanted operator experience in the room, not just capital. We saw immediately that Koi was building something truly unique in the market. They were driven by a mission to fundamentally solve a critical gap that others were overlooking. We’ve done our best to honor that vision by staying in the trenches: - Opening Doors: Facilitating critical introductions to key customers to help find that early frictionless growth. - Operating Language: Speaking the same language as builders, not just board members. Watching this vision come to life has been incredible. The alignment with Nikesh Arora and Palo Alto Networks is a testament to the value you’ve created and the future you are building. You’ll likely see a lot of logos associated with this win today. This is a testament to how many people this team has inspired. But the real story isn't about the cap table or the investors. The story is about the founders. Amit, Idan, Itay, you and all the employees at Koi did the hard work. You turned the "impossible" into the "inevitable." Congratulations to the entire team. It’s been an honor to be in your corner since the beginning. #Koi #PaloAltoNetworks #NikeshArora #AmitAssaraf #PictureCapital #VentureCapital Rakesh K.

We at Picture Capital are excited to join Upwind Security's journey as new investors in their $250M Series B, alongside Bessemer Venture Partners and other great backers. Cloud security is entering a new phase -- one that demands deeper context, greater precision, and real-time visibility. Upwind is leading that shift with a runtime-first CNAPP that is purpose-built for the dynamic, AI-driven infrastructure modern enterprises rely on. Rather than relying on static posture checks or fragmented tooling, Upwind provides a unified platform that helps teams understand what is actually happening in production. The result is faster detection, clearer prioritization, and stronger security outcomes, without unnecessary complexity. With explosive growth, a deeply customer-focused team, and a product that is leading the industry, Upwind is setting a new standard for what cloud security should look like in the real-time, AI-powered era. We’re proud to support the team and excited for what’s ahead! Learn more about this round from Amiram Shachar. #CloudSecurity #SeriesB #Upwind #CNAPP #AI #VentureCapital #PictureCapital Rakesh K.
