🧠💪 From sweat to science: Meet the Israeli startup turning everyday workouts into life-saving insights. What if we tell you that your sweat tells a lot about your physical and health state? Yopi Tech, founded by Hemi Re’em and Dr. Menachem Genut Ph.D, is redefining cardiovascular monitoring with a wearable device that does more than count steps. Their AI-powered armband analyzes sweat electrolytes in real time to measure oxygen consumption (VO₂), carbon dioxide emission (VCO₂), and other critical health metrics. A device offering far beyond what traditional fitness trackers offer. The idea was born after Re’em, an active and health-conscious individual, unexpectedly required triple bypass surgery. That wake-up call led to YOPI’s mission: to bridge the gap between fitness tech and real preventive healthcare. With mass production since early 2024 in southern Israel, Yopi Tech is bringing lab-grade metabolic monitoring to the masses and transforming how we train, recover, and stay ahead of heart health risks. #HealthTech #Wearables #IsraeliInnovation #CardiovascularHealth #FitnessTech #AI #PreventiveCare

Our team at Remagine Ventures is proud to share the latest Israeli Generative AI landscape. It showcases 342 Israeli startups across 29 categories, which have collectively raised over $20 billion in funding. For the first time, we've also included an acquisitions category. In the past year or so, 31 Israeli GenAI startups were acquired - 17 of them with disclosed terms, which amount to over $6.1 billion. To be included in the landscape, startups had to meet two core criteria: raise at least $1 million in funding and have a product or service where generative AI is central to the value proposition. Companies that have been acquired or that use generative AI only peripherally were excluded from the main list. ● 342 Israeli startups building generative AI products   ● 198 new companies since the May 2024 version ● Over half (104) of the new companies added have adopted Agentic capabilities   ● $20B+ in total funding raised by Israeli GenAI startups   ● 31 acquisitions over the past year, with $6.1B disclosed exit value  Link to the official release in CTech by Calcalist below. We've invested in 13 Israeli Generative AI startups, you can see the companies highlighted in yellow. Thank you Shanny Rofe and Kevin Baxpehler for all your work on this project.

Super Excited to share that Vertex Ventures Israel  is joining Apono’s $34M Series B. On a personal note (and with real excitement 😄), it’s rare to see an access-management platform deliver such high value  yet such low friction at scale. From the beginning, Apono felt different and the signals were clear: High usage. Strong customer pull. A deeply granular  Zero Standing Privilege (ZSP) approach that solves real access challenges in daily enterprise workflows. The category is shifting fast toward dynamic, context-aware access, especially as AI agents become part of every environment. Apono is exactly where identity security is heading. Zero Standing Privilege is becoming foundational. Proud to partner with Rom Carmel, Ofir Stein, and the entire Apono team and excited for what’s ahead . 💫
