Opti

Opti builds an AI-native identity and access management platform that uses domain-specific large language models to map humans, machine identities, services, and systems into a single identity graph. The platform detects identity vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and overprivileged access in real time, generates least-privilege recommendations, and supports joiner-mover-leaver governance workflows, with an agentic AI layer that can execute access corrections under human oversight. It integrates with more than 250 identity providers, IGA tools, and business applications, including Okta.

Opti was founded by Barak Perelman (CEO), Mille Gandelsman (CPO), and Ido Trivizki (CTO), a team that previously built Indegy, an industrial control systems security company that Tenable acquired for roughly $100 million in 2019. That prior exit gives the founding team a credible track record of building and selling a security company, distinct from many first-time-founder identity startups. The company is headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel, with a presence in New York.

The company raised $20 million in seed funding in November 2025, led by YL Ventures, Mayfield Fund, and Hetz Ventures, with participation from Squared Circle Ventures and serial cybersecurity investor Shlomo Kramer. Opti’s differentiator is extending identity governance beyond human and standard machine identities to cover the agentic AI identities that are proliferating as organizations adopt AI agents, a problem that older ITDR and IGA platforms were not built to address.
