HERZLIYA, July 25th, 2017 (7am ET)

iguazio, a global pioneer in real-time edge analytics, announced today a Series B investment of $33 million led by Pitango Venture Capital, with additional funds from Verizon Ventures, Robert Bosch Venture Capital GmbH (RBVC), CME Ventures and the company’s existing investors, Magma Venture Partners, Jerusalem Venture Partners and Dell Technologies Capital.
iguazio accelerates the digital transformation of enterprise companies and simplifies real-time analytics at the edge, on-premises and in hybrid environments, complementing the offering of leading cloud providers. This new financing brings the company’s total investment to $48 million.
“iguazio’s team has an outstanding track record of innovation and execution and we are delighted to back these stellar managers once again,” said Eyal Niv, Managing General Partner at Pitango. “While the majority of big data deployments fail due to over complexity, iguazio’s platform has proven to be simple, fast and secure, making it exceptional for artificial intelligence and machine learning use cases. We’ve already received overwhelming feedback from beta customers generating actionable real-time insights with significant business impact.”

“As one of the largest telecom companies in the world, we witness the importance of real-time continuous analytics and the way it has become crucial across businesses. Yet, there are not many existing scalable solutions,” said Merav Rotem-Naaman, Managing Director at Verizon Ventures Israel. “iguazio is aiming to become a trusted partner for companies looking to use data to make real-time business decisions that improve security and operations. IoT data that improves decision-making and transforms business must get analyzed closer to the edge, whether it be a fleet of trucks or the monetization of mobile usage.”

Founded in 2014, the iguazio Continuous Analytics Data Platform has fundamentally redesigned the entire data stack to accelerate performance in big data, the Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud-native applications. iguazio will use this new round to fund the company’s rapid global expansion.
Ingo Ramesohl, RBVC Technology Managing Director, commented, “automotive and industrial companies require real-time analytics closer to the edge.” He added, “iguazio’s platform is the missing link between on-prem servers and leading cloud providers, processing new data alongside historical data in real-time and effectively complementing existing cloud solutions. It provides a distributed cloud near the edge for the greater simplicity, performance, security and agility required by next generation applications.”

“Data management in financial services companies is going through tectonic shifts due to digital transformation,” said Rumi Morales, Executive Director of CME Ventures, the investment arm of CME Group. “iguazio’s ability to effectively run machine learning simultaneously on large
amounts of streaming and historical data is a great asset and we’re proud to be working together with this exceptional management team.”

“We are extremely grateful to have outstanding support from our new investors – Pitango, Verizon, Bosch, CME – and from our existing investors,” concluded iguazio’s CEO, Asaf Somekh. “Verizon Ventures, RBVC and CME Ventures are a clear representation of iguazio’s target markets. This is an acknowledgment of the strategic value we bring to their industries and an affirmation of iguazio’s strength and growth moving forward, as our customers continue to leap ahead, embracing the digital transformation.”
iguazio was recently recognized as one of Gartner’s Cool Vendors in Data Management for 2017. Early deployment customers include large-scale automotive and media companies, financial institutions and consumer IoT deployments.

A Defining Moment for Cybersecurity, for JVP, and for Israel/US Cooperation: CyberArk’s $25B Merger with Palo Alto Networks

Last week marked a moment of both pride and reflection for all of us at JVP. The announcement of CyberArk’s $25 billion acquisition by Palo Alto Networks is not just a landmark deal in the cybersecurity landscape—it’s a powerful validation of the JVP Way, our approach to company building that continues to define our firm today.

While we are no longer CyberArk shareholders, having exited our position a few years after its IPO, we were proud to have been CyberArk’s leading and largest shareholder from its early days to several years after it became a public company and its emergence as an international category leader. While I was Chairman of the company, we partnered closely with the founders during the most formative years of its journey. Back in 2011, when many investors were ready to sell the company for $120 million, JVP chose to reinvest and increased our position to 47%, buying out early shareholders, bringing in Goldman Sachs as an equity investment partner, and partnering with management to lay the foundation for a strong international expansion. That pivotal moment gave the company the opportunity to scale into a true global market leader.

CyberArk has always been ahead of the curve—pioneering insider threat protection, secrets management, machine-to-machine authentication, and most recently, preparing the world for secure Agentic-AI infrastructure. Its merger with Palo Alto Networks positions it to lead the AI era with a fully integrated, end-to-end security platform.

We invite you to revisit JVP’s unique role in CyberArk’s growth in this Forbes feature, Reuters press, and from CyberArk’s newsroom.

This milestone is a reminder that JVP’s tried and true approach – invest, reinvest, roll up our sleeves, and work diligently alongside founders and management teams to build category leading global companies – works. The JVP Way, developed over 30 years, is what enables JVP to build companies that lead and transform industries to the benefit of our investors.

Today, we continue to apply the same methodology to our current portfolio with company after company surpassing the $100 million revenue threshold, with JVP owning 40% or more, as they too become category-leading international businesses.
