Roi Tiger, a former Meta engineering executive and Israeli tech entrepreneur, is securing $55 million in funding for his stealth-mode cybersecurity startup. According to Business Insider and The Information, the latest round values the company at $400 million, with Greenoaks leading the investment.
This funding follows a $20 million Seed round raised just weeks ago from top-tier investors, including Sequoia, Index Ventures, and Cyberstarts—the same firms that backed Wiz, the Israeli cybersecurity giant recently acquired by Google for $32 billion.
While Tiger and Greenoaks declined to comment, and early investors have not responded to inquiries, the rapid capital inflow highlights the high demand for Israeli cybersecurity startups in the global market.

It should not be surprising to anyone that an Israeli cybersecurity startup would be so secretive about what it does, even to the extent of not revealing its name. But someone must know what this nameless company is cooking up if they are willing to risk so much money investing in it.
And Israel is synonymous with security, with cybersecurity startups that make huge exits. Just look at Wiz, for example.
The Israeli cybersecurity startup and a unicorn Wiz just sold to Google’s parent company Alphabet for $32 billion. So, investors may be betting the new firm will be the next Wiz.
Also, just two weeks ago, Sola Security, an innovative Israeli cybersecurity startup, officially emerged from stealth mode, unveiling its self-serve platform designed to democratize cybersecurity for businesses of all sizes, with a $30 million seed funding round.
Roi Tiger is an Israeli tech entrepreneur who has gained significant recognition in the technology world, particularly for his involvement in the cybersecurity space. Tiger co-founded Onavo, a mobile web analytics company, in 2010 with Guy Rosen.
Onavo developed apps, including a VPN service called Onavo Protect, that analyzed user data to provide insights into app usage. Facebook acquired Onavo in 2013 for a reported $120 million. This acquisition was considered a significant exit for Israeli venture capital.
