AI search platform startup Doti AI raises $7M to address enterprise data and workflow challenges Artificial intelligence-driven search platform provider Doti AI Ltd. announced today that it has raised $7 million in seed funding to enhance its platform's AI capabilities, accelerate enterprise adoption, and strengthen security and compliance. Founded in 2024, the startup offers an AI-powered search platform designed to unify data across various work applications that allows teams to access information easily and make informed decisions. The platform has been designed to address an increasing demand for tools that streamline workflow and improve decision-making. Doti AI argues that existing solutions fall short of addressing key enterprise needs such as speed of deployment, usability and data security. It addresses challenges in existing platforms starting with installation, since it can be deployed within one hour, on-premises or in the cloud. The platform integrates with existing tools to consolidate data from multiple platforms into a unified, secure source of truth. Importantly, organizational data indexed by the Doti AI platform stays under the company's control, with permissions and secure access controls at every level. The controls are designed to minimize the risk of data breaches and ensure compliance with industry standards. Doti's platform handles both structured and unstructured data, allowing it to tackle tasks including analyzing codebases, drafting communications, retrieving historical project context and answering policy questions. In examples provided by Doti, sales teams can quickly pull up detailed client histories or access real-time data on product updates to personalize pitches during calls. Customer support teams can use the platform to resolve issues faster by retrieving relevant knowledge base articles or identifying similar past cases without searching across multiple systems. Despite its relatively young age -- the company turns one this month -- Doti has seen strong early adoption, with employee usage increasing by an average of four times within three months of deployment across several leading enterprises. "Enterprises need more than just another search tool, said co-founder and Chief Executive Matan Cohen. "They need a secure, intuitive platform that not only understands their data but delivers the right context when and where it's needed." The seed round was led by F2 Venture Capital, with previous angel investors, including Jared Kasner, general partner at Ineffable Ventures, and Guy Fletcher, CEO of Sola Security Inc., also participating.

As enterprises look at how they can best leverage AI to increase their employees' productivity, search is an obvious use case. In most companies, after all, data lives in multiple disconnected silos and the combination of large language models, retrieval augmented generation (RAG) and enterprise-grade integration services now makes it easier than ever to not just enable search but also create tools that can answer more complex questions about all of this data. It's no surprise then that there are quite a few startups and incumbents (think Atlassian's Rovo, for example), that are vying for this market. One of the newest entrants is Doti AI, a Tel Aviv-based startup that announced a $7 million seed funding round today. Doti AI integrates data from services like Confluence, Datadog, Gitlab, Jira, Monday, Notion, Slack, Salesforce, Zendesk and others, and then makes this data available on demand, through a chat experience in Slack, for example, as well as through what Doti calls its 'AutoPilot.' The AutoPilot proactively monitors Slack channels and when it comes across a question it can answer, it will respond directly in that channel. This, Doti co-founders Matan Cohen (CEO) and Opher Hofshi (CPO) told me, is also how Doti quickly reaches critical mass within a company, as employees go from seeing Doti in their various Slack channels and then start 1:1 chats with the service as well. The two co-founders first met at Wix, when Cohen worked on the service's infrastructure and Hofshi led a team of security architects. "When we left Wix [in 2023], we didn't really know what we're going to do," Hofshi told me. "Our initial thought was going into one of our areas -- doing what we've been doing for the last couple of years. For me, it was cyber security, and for Matan, it was about the infrastructure." During the ideation process, they realized that enterprise search remains an unsolved problem. "The problem Doti solves is something that we felt at Wix," Cohen said. And solving it, the founders argue, takes expertise in building the integrations, but also a strong focus on security. "What we believe is that every person, every group, every process, every company will need to have some sort of AI in their veins -- or their processes -- and it's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when, and how fast companies will adapt," Cohen said. The team argues that even though other companies may offer similar features at first glance, its approach offers quite a bit more flexibility. That's because Doti was built from the ground up to, for example, allow businesses to bring their own large language models to the service, all while also helping them set their own security policies. "We know how to bring a very good solution for enterprises and we're as flexible as they want," Cohen said. "You want to bring your own LLM? go for it. You want to bring your own cloud? We can do this. You want to do AWS, you want to do Azure, you want to do GCP? Go for it, and this is on the infra level, and this is a deal breaker for organizations." The company's $7 million seed round was led by F2 Venture Capital, with participation from a number of angel investors, including Jared Kasner, a general partner at Ineffable Ventures, and Guy Flechter, the CEO of Sola Security.

Doti AI Raises $7M Seed Round to Fuel Vision for Secure Work AI

TEL AVIV, Israel, Jan. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Doti AI, a Work AI platform enabling enterprises to securely access and leverage internal knowledge in real time, today announced it has raised $7 million in seed funding. The round was led by F2 Venture Capital, with participation from notable angel investors including Jared Kasner, General Partner at Ineffable Ventures, and Guy Flechter, serial entrepreneur and CEO of Sola Security. The enterprise AI market is projected to grow from $113.5 billion in 2023 to over $300 billion by 2030, driven by increasing demand for tools that streamline workflows and improve decision-making. However, existing solutions fall short in addressing key enterprise needs such as speed of deployment, usability and data security. Doti addresses these challenges head on. Unlike traditional solutions that require months to implement, Doti is deployable in under an hour, on-premise or in the cloud. The platform seamlessly integrates with existing tools, consolidating data from multiple platforms into a unified, secure source of truth. Crucially, organizational data stays under the company's control, with permissions and access controls at every level. This minimizes the risk of data breaches and ensures compliance with industry standards. "Enterprises need more than just another search tool. They need a secure, intuitive platform that not only understands their data but delivers the right context when and where it's needed," said Matan Cohen, co-founder and CEO of Doti. "At Doti, we're transforming how teams interact with information, without compromising security or compliance." Doti handles both structured and unstructured data, enabling it to tackle tasks such as analyzing codebases, drafting communications, retrieving historical project context and answering policy questions. For example, sales teams can quickly pull up detailed client histories or access real-time data on product updates to personalize pitches during calls. Meanwhile, customer support teams can resolve issues faster by retrieving relevant knowledge base articles or identifying similar past cases without searching across multiple systems. Built by Cybersecurity and Enterprise Software Experts Doti was founded by Matan Cohen, CEO and Opher Hofshi, CPO, seasoned leaders with extensive experience in enterprise software and cybersecurity. The duo first collaborated at Wix, where they led critical teams in software development and infrastructure security. Recognizing the impact of "organizational information chaos" they encountered in large, fast-paced organizations, they co-founded Doti to tackle this challenge head on, with the mission of reshaping how enterprises securely connect and use internal knowledge. Their vision is to become the backbone of enterprise decision-making, with Doti embedding itself into workflows that impact every employee and process with secure, actionable insights. Delivering Instant Answers Without Compromising Security Doti's platform uniquely combines advanced contextual AI with enterprise-grade security, offering deployment options to meet even the most stringent compliance standards. Unlike traditional tools, Doti not only connects the dots across internal systems but also delivers contextually relevant insights tailored to specific workflows, from sales, customer service, product and more. Recognizing that many employees struggle to fully leverage AI platforms to date, Doti has designed its solution to work proactively. "One of the biggest challenges we've seen is that employees often don't know what to ask or how to prompt AI effectively," said Opher Hofshi, CPO and co-founder of Doti. "To address this, Doti integrates with platforms like Slack to monitor ongoing conversations. When Doti identifies a question it can address within its secure connection to company systems, it sends a real-time direct response to the employee. This proactive approach removes the need for users to consciously decide what to ask or how to leverage the platform, naturally integrating into their daily workflows and addressing their queries in the most intuitive way possible," he added. "Doti is tackling a fundamental challenge that many enterprises face but no one has really managed to solve: securely accessing and utilizing internal knowledge," said Jonathan Saacks, Managing Partner at F2 Venture Capital. "Their innovative approach to enterprise AI and their focus on security and user experience make them uniquely positioned to lead this market." Early Traction and Market Impact Doti has seen strong early adoption, with employee usage increasing by an average of 4X within three months of deployment across several leading enterprises. In one instance, usage grew 11X during the same period, showcasing how effectively the platform integrates into existing workflows and delivers value. This strong adoption reflects Doti's ability to seamlessly integrate with existing tools, deliver intuitive usability and provide actionable insights that employees trust. These early results underscore Doti's potential to reshape enterprise AI, helping organizations realize the full potential of its data and achieve measurable impact across teams. About Doti AI Doti AI is an Enterprise AI platform redefining how enterprises securely connect, access and leverage its internal knowledge. With enterprise-grade security at its core, Doti delivers real-time, actionable insights seamlessly integrated into existing workflows. By breaking down silos and eliminating obstacles, Doti enables teams to increase productivity 10X, make faster decisions and move business forward with unprecedented efficiency.
