Israeli cybersecurity startup Daylight raised $80 million in a Series B round led by Growth Equity at Goldman Sachs Alternatives. The round brings its total funding to $120 million. Daylight combines AI agents with human security experts to detect, investigate, and respond to cyber threats.
Funding participants
Okta Ventures joined as a new investor. Existing backers Bain Capital, Craft Ventures, Vintage Partners, and Maple Capital also participated. The company did not disclose a valuation, but it is estimated at approximately $400 million.
Company context
Daylight was founded in early 2025 by CEO Hagai Shapira and CTO Eldad Rudich. The company says revenue grew more than 40-fold over the past year. Its customers include Fortune 500 companies and AI-native businesses such as LastPass, Lovable, Rogo, dLocal, and Miro.
How the service works
Daylight's AI agents handle routine security operations, while human engineers focus on decisions requiring judgment. The service can be fully managed, co-managed with in-house teams, or delivered through forward-deployed engineers. Customers use Aura for natural-language investigations, centralized security data, and security operations management.
Daylight plans to use the new capital to expand its U.S. presence and enter additional markets across EMEA and APAC. It will also grow its security engineering and technology teams and accelerate development of its AI-native platform. The company expects to generate tens of millions of dollars in revenue by the end of 2027.
