Israel-based Zeroport raises $10m seed round

Zeroport, an Israel-based provider of non-IP secure remote access solutions, announced it has raised $10 million in seed funding to accelerate global expansion and product development.

The round was led by lool ventures, with participation from Clarim Ventures, CyberFuture (Backed by Elron Ventures), and Fusion Fund.

The company will use the funding to expand into North America and APAC markets, grow its team from 25 to 40 employees within a year, and enhance its flagship Fantom platform.

The company already secures remote access for large organisations worldwide, demonstrating proven adoption across critical infrastructure, power, financial institutions, and government sectors. Zeroport addresses a $30 billion market growing at 20% annually, the company said in its announcement.

The company has gained validation through participation in Singapore’s CyberBoost Catalyse program and backing from CyberFuture, a VC backed by Elron Ventures comprising CISOs from major enterprises, including Siemens Energy.

Zeroport protects its innovations with several patents and serves customers across industrial, finance, defence, and ICS sectors.

Jordan-based OpenCX raises $7m round

OpenCX, a Dubai-based AI-native enterprise customer communication platform, has raised $7 million in a funding round, as the company accelerates growth across global enterprise customers and prepares for expansion into the Gulf region.

The round was led by existing investor Y Combinator and X by Unifonic, with participation from Sadu Capital and Shorooq, an Abu Dhabi-headquartered investment firm regulated by the FSRA as a Fund Manager.

The funding will support OpenCX’s next phase of growth as demand accelerates from enterprises seeking to manage increasingly complex, high-volume customer interactions across voice, chat, email, and messaging channels.

The company is also preparing to expand its presence in Saudi Arabia, where it plans to establish a regional office in the coming months as part of its broader GCC strategy.

Founded by Mohammad Gharbat and Mohammad Tabaza, OpenCX was built to address a persistent challenge facing large, regulated organisations: customer support and communication have become mission-critical, yet increasingly difficult to scale without sacrificing quality or control.

The platform’s AI engine automates more than 70% of the end-to-end customer communication stack (support, phone calling, inbound, and outbound), enabling enterprises to operate at scale while maintaining high standards of responsiveness and empathy.

OpenCX began as an open-source project used by tens of thousands of developers before evolving into a commercial platform focused on enterprise-scale customer communication.
