Omry Ben David שיתף את זהOne can vibe code many things. Embedded vertical FinTech isn't one of them. Yesterday I had the pleasure of sharing the stage with the founders of Pagaya, Unit and Panax discussing, among many things, the growing presence of Claude and OpenAI in financial products. Three things remain defensible in vertical FinTech: proprietary data, regulatory depth and distribution. Purposely-built with a layer of #trust around it. Thanks Yahav Yulzari, Itai Damti and Noam Mills for an insightful panel and Tiran Rothman and Tamir Meerovitch for giving us a first look at the soon-to-be-released Frost & Sullivan Vertical FinTech report | Viola Ventures

Omry Ben David שיתף את זה#FinTech is entering a new phase where most of the old playbooks no longer apply and the moats are shifting. Yet, it is practically impossible to "vibe code" an embedded, vertically integrated and trusted FinTech solution. Join us on Sunday, May 24th, to hear from founders what actually works in the AI era.

Omry Ben David שיתף את זהThis morning, we were honored to meet with Israeli President Isaac Herzog for an important discussion on the strength and global impact of Israeli #Fintech. With 22 public and private Israeli Fintech unicorns, Fintech is the second largest vertical in the Israeli tech ecosystem, second only to cyber. During the meeting, we also discussed UniStart - a collaboration between Eden, a Nova survivor, Unistream and Pagaya - dedicated for Nova entrepreneurs. As Israel's largest Fintech investor, with >45 investments to date - including Payoneer, Personetics, Pagaya, PayZen, Faye, Duetti and many others - we remain confident in our thriving ecosystem and look forward to continue to partner with the next generation of Fintech builders.

Omry Ben David אהבתי את זהOmry Ben David אהבתי את זהHumbled to be included on this year’s Midas List. But the real story for me is something else entirely: Building Cerebras and Eclipse at the same time. Over the last decade, we’ve tried to build Eclipse the same way we build companies: With conviction, technical depth, operational intensity, and people who know how to execute in the real world. Not just invest in it. What’s been most rewarding personally is getting to build every day alongside extraordinary operators and leaders like those at Cerebras: Sean Lie on the technical side, Jessica Liu and Angela Yeung on product, Dhiraj Mallick across manufacturing, fabs, and data centers, Alan Chhabra and Alex Varel on GTM, Bob Komin on financing, debt, and backstops, Andrew Feldman on fundraising, GTM, and countless other things — and many others across the ecosystem who have helped turn ambitious ideas into real companies. At Cerebras, Andrew Feldman and the team are redefining the future of AI compute infrastructure. Across the Eclipse Economy, founders and leaders like Even Rogers at True Anomaly, Boris Sofman at Bedrock Robotics, Alex Kendall at Wayve, Kevin Kassekert at VulcanForms Inc., Chris Walti at Mytra, and Sviat Dulianinov at Bright Machines, and many more, are building foundational companies at the intersection of bits and atoms. These companies don’t get built from a spreadsheet. They get built through years of technical risk, operational complexity, manufacturing scale, customer obsession, and relentless execution. This is what I do, and this is what I love doing. Grateful to all of the founders, teams, customers, and LPs who’ve been part of the journey — and to Iain Martin and the Forbes team for the recognition. We’re just getting started. https://bit.ly/4fFJqTy

Omry Ben David אהבתי את זהA BIG day for us at Viola Credit. Israel has been at the heart of global innovation for many years. Much has been said and written about “Start-Up Nation” evolving into a true “Scale-Up Nation.” At Viola Credit, we have always taken pride in building the right capital solutions to support the evolving needs of the innovation economy. In recent years, Israel has produced a huge and growing ecosystem of late-stage technology companies. Companies are staying private for longer, with even greater ambitions to build larger, global businesses. This is exactly where we believe we can add the most value. We are excited to share that Meir Slobodov is joining Viola Credit as Head of Israel to help lead this next chapter. Meir brings deep experience, strong relationships, and a real passion for partnering with ambitious technology companies as they scale. Meir — we are excited to have you with us. Let’s go!Omry Ben David אהבתי את זהViola Credit is doubling down on Israel. We have always believed in the strength of Israel’s innovation economy. That conviction has not changed, if anything, it has deepened. Israel continues to produce world-class technology companies across every stage of growth, and we believe the opportunity for growth lending in this market has never been greater. As part of this commitment, we are pleased to announce that Meir Slobodov has joined Viola Credit as Managing Director, Head of Israel. Meir brings over a decade of tech banking experience, most recently at SVB and HSBC, with deep relationships across Israel’s technology ecosystem. His appointment reflects our long-term commitment to being a meaningful partner to the companies and founders building the next generation of the innovation economy here.

Omry Ben David אהבתי את זהReally enjoyed the conversation with the Unit and Pagaya founders. The faster AI moves, the clearer it becomes that deep financial infrastructure and trust are what matter most. That's what we're building at Panax, and I was happy to share our learnings from building AI-native infrastructure for finance and treasury teams. Thanks Omry Ben David for moderating and Viola Ventures for hosting.

Omry Ben David אהבתי את זהOmry Ben David אהבתי את זהThe agentic era is here—and PlainID is officially the control plane. 🚀 Right now, every major cloud provider is racing to build its own AI agent platform (like AWS AgentCore and Microsoft Foundry). They secure agents well inside their own walls. But the second an agent calls an external API or pulls data from a warehouse across the fence? Those native guardrails end. As Gartner highlighted in their 2026 reports, independent runtime authorization is the only way to secure the agentic identity stack. That’s where we come in. We’ve officially extended PlainID’s coverage to AWS AgentCore and Microsoft Foundry. As our team likes to say: The platforms multiply, but the control plane shouldn’t fragment with them. CISOs get one unified policy model, one registry, and one source of truth. Huge shoutout to the product and R&D teams for making this operational reality happen! Let’s keep building. 👏 Full announcement is in the first comment.

There was one question hanging over the room in our FinTech leadership event: with Claude and OpenAI now launching financial products, what's actually left to build? The answer was clear: The AI era doesn't kill FinTech. It just raises the bar and makes the moats more visible. There are three things you can't vibe code in FinTech: proprietary data, regulatory depth and distribution. Purposely-built with a layer of #trust around it.
