Tel Aviv Israel SaaS security platform; raised $25M+; manages security risks from SaaS-to-SaaS integrations, OAuth, and collaboration tool sprawl.
Valence Security is a SaaS security company founded in 2021 and headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel. The company identified a growing but underaddressed attack surface: the web of integrations, OAuth grants, and third-party app connections that accumulate as organizations adopt dozens of SaaS applications. Each integration creates a trust relationship that can be exploited if the third-party application is compromised, if a token is leaked, or if permissions are granted far beyond what the use case requires. Valence was built to give security teams full visibility and governance over this SaaS integration mesh.\n\nValence raised $25 million in a Series A round led by Microsoft's M12 venture fund, with participation from YL Ventures and Porsche Ventures. The platform connects to the organization's core SaaS applications — including Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Salesforce, GitHub, Slack, and Zoom — and discovers all OAuth applications connected to them, the permissions granted, the users who authorized them, and whether the connected applications have known security issues. Security teams can review, revoke, and enforce policies on third-party app access without disrupting end users.\n\nValence's collaboration security capabilities extend beyond OAuth to cover sharing configurations — identifying when sensitive documents, files, or data are shared externally or with overly broad permissions in collaboration tools. The platform also monitors for SaaS misconfigurations and tenant-level security settings that deviate from security baselines. Its remediation workflows allow security teams to alert the responsible users, request justification for sensitive access, or automatically revoke connections that violate policy.
Indoor vertical farming company using AI-optimized growing systems. San Francisco, CA. Raised $940M+ including $400M from SoftBank. Partners with Walmart for US farms.
Plenty is a San Francisco-based indoor vertical farming company that uses AI, machine learning, and robotics to grow leafy greens and other produce in controlled indoor environments. The company has raised over $940 million from investors including SoftBank Vision Fund, which invested $200 million in 2017, and has positioned itself as the technology leader in data-driven indoor agriculture.\n\nPlenty's farms use precisely controlled light, temperature, humidity, and nutrient conditions to grow crops that are free from pesticides, use 99% less land, and consume significantly less water than conventional field agriculture. The company's AI systems continuously optimize growing conditions based on sensor data, learning to improve yields and quality across crops and growing cycles.\n\nIn 2022, Plenty announced a landmark partnership with Walmart to supply leafy greens from a new large-scale facility in Compton, California. This partnership provided both a major commercial anchor and significant additional funding from Walmart, validating Plenty's technology and business model at scale. The company also operates a dedicated strawberry R&D partnership with Driscoll's, the world's largest berry company, demonstrating the platform's potential beyond leafy greens.
