Aleph Fund V is here, and it’s not too exciting. Actually, it’s just more of the same. We’re doing what we’ve always done: backing Israeli founders building companies that change the world.

Today, we’re announcing that we’ve doubled our annual transactions volumes in the last 12 months, and reached $100 billion. This is an especially sweet moment for us. It took us 5.5 years to reach the first $50 billion. What I’m most proud of is the character and unusual choices that led to it. We chose the most valuable problems, not the easiest ones. We saw huge value in building a system DEEP and BROAD enough to replace 10-15 vendors that banks + fintech programs typically use, starting with a core system. Many people that had 10x our knowledge tried to help and tamper our ambitions: “why build a core system?”, “why operations and not just tech?”, “why not partner with a vendor that already built a credit card ledger?” Today, Unit could be installed on any bank - immediately. There is no dependency on legacy tech. All money movement happens directly with the Federal Reserve and card networks. Banks and the programs they power do business at scale, with 10x better security, oversight, and modularity. We built heads-down while there was widespread skepticism. Until recently, the category of modern financial infrastructure has been attacked non stop. For years. People questioned it from every single angle: is it sound? Valuable? Sustainable? We weren’t phased. We had the field context that many skeptics didn’t have, and we saw the proof points every day. We made changes along the way when they were needed. We took no shortcuts and turned down high-risk deals that could make us bigger. Importantly, we put ourselves on an independent financial trajectory, so that we don’t have to take shortcuts OR depend on the opinions of others. Proud of our team for the hard work and character. Grateful to our customers (old and new) that placed trust in us. And to millions of end-users who have access to better financial services... without knowing that Unit exists 😉 Back to work. unit.co/blog/100-billion-in-…

simply brilliant. wow.
Ukraine launches TrophyLab: we are opening access to captured Russian weapon technologies for our global partners. Every missile, drone, and vehicle seized on the battlefield is now a source of knowledge for the free world. Through this secure platform, allied governments, labs, and defense tech manufacturers gain access to deep technical data, reports, and vulnerabilities. Users can also request physical equipment for testing, significantly shortening the development cycle for countermeasures. What was meant to be the enemy's secret advantage is being dismantled to defend democracy. Join the platform: 🔗 trophylab.mod.gov.ua/en/

אז הולכים לשדר תוכן ידוע לחלוטין בשביל שיהיה אפשר לעשות cryptanalysis עם video plaintext? מעולה.
פרסום ראשון: צה"ל יפעיל מערכת מסווגת כדי לשדר את המונדיאל ללוחמים בלבנון באגף התקשוב יקרינו את משחקי המונדיאל - החל מהערב - בתוך הרשת הסגורה והמוצפנת "Z-TUBE" שמשמשת ביומיום את הצבא להעברת תיעודי תקיפות מאיראן וליווי כוחות בעומק לבנון. לפי ידיעות שהתפרסמו על המערכת, מהירות ההפצה שלה: "מרגע התיעוד ועד הצפייה, לא משנה איפה - התמונה תוצג במסך תוך 300 מיליסקנד (ms) עד חצי שנייה". בנוסף, למערכת יש את יכולת שמירת התוכן והרצה אחורה - אך לא ברור כרגע אם הפונקציה תופעל גם על המשחקים בטורניר. *הפרסום באישור גורמי ביטחון

חבורת מטומטמים. טייסים לומדים מקצוע בצבא? קצינים מקבלים יכולות ניהוליות? יאללה למסות. בחזרה לתוכנית חלם. אתם רוצים בכוח לוודא שאלו שיש להם את היכולות שהצבא מחפש, והיום חותמים לעוד 3+ שנים של שרות לחשוב פעמיים? @mikeeisenberg דיבר על חובבנות. זה כבר מעבר

independent board members are some of the most consistent value drivers for companies. well done. welcome aboard @saumil!
Big day at Unit: we're proud to welcome @saumil to our Board of Directors, as our first independent board member. Saumil is the Global President of Ticketmaster. He spent the previous 9.5 years at @Square as CPO and Head of Business, scaling the company from pre-IPO to $3.6B in annual gross profit. I have admired Saumil from the moment I met him. He's an incredibly smart, sophisticated, and humble operator. He has a world class network. And he plays to win. Saumil's background is also a statement: great companies rethink every piece of infrastructure and stay close to the metal. With this foundation, they can solve the single toughest problem in embedded finance: adoption. Saumil has spent most of his career proving these things at Square.

Absolutely outrageous remarks by the Defence Secretary which I hope he will publicly apologise for. During the 12-day war, the Iranian regime launched hundreds of ballistic missiles and suicide drones toward Israel. 33 civilians were killed. More than 3,500 were injured. Approximately 40,000 buildings were damaged. In the city of Bat Yam, a single direct hit destroyed an entire neighbourhood. 22 buildings had to be demolished. People often make a fundamental mistake when judging this conflict purely by casualty numbers. Israel has spent decades and billions developing an unprecedented, multi-layered missile defence system. Nearly 80% of Israelis live within close proximity to a safe room or public shelter, and by law every new apartment built in Israel must include a reinforced safe room. In this war, when missiles are launched, Israel’s Home Front Command first issues an early warning. When impact becomes imminent, sirens sound across the affected areas. Civilians are instructed to enter shelters and remain there until an official all clear is given. Israelis follow these instructions because experience has shown time and again that they save lives. The fact that Israel has learned how to defend its civilians does not make the threat any less serious.
