CAPITAL

How do early cyber startups reach investors who can't source them locally?

Page Heading

Most early cyber and AI-infrastructure teams never reach the investors who would fund them, because those investors have no way into the Israeli cyber ecosystem before a round is already crowded. MktAccel runs a parallel fundraising track for founders - warm introductions matched to the specific round, not a list - and gives VCs, angels and family offices first look at stealth-stage teams that have already been assessed directly.

The Position

I'm inside these companies before the round is public, close enough to know the team, the tech, and the shape of the raise, not just read the deck. A lot of what I see is still in stealth.
That's the gap I sit in. The best cyber teams are early, technical, and split across Tel Aviv, Paris, and the US - hard to find, and harder to judge from a pitch. That's the part I'm already inside. Right now capital is everywhere and signal is scarce: investors want a curated first look, and founders are struggling to land the right rooms.
If you're raising

A second engine on your raise: you keep running your process; I run a parallel one through my network: a matched target list, the warm intros, and prep for those meetings. Two pipelines instead of one.
Doors that are hard to open cold - VCs, angels, and family offices who take the meeting because the intro is warm and relevant, not a cold deck.

How it works: a defined engagement for a specific round, alongside your own outreach, never instead of it. You drive your process; I open a second channel and bring you matched investors, and we stay in sync on who's talking to whom.
If you're deploying capital

Pre-vetted cyber dealflow, stealth included - Teams I work with directly, qualified before they reach you. I cut the top-of-funnel noise in a vertical where that's hardest.
Signal, not volume - no spray. Matched to your thesis, stage, and check size, with first look where I can give it.How it works: tell me your thesis, stage, check size, and the cyber sub-sectors you want - I bring you matched teams, only ones I'd put my name on.
