Team8

playerAI & Compute · Darknet & Cyber
Ex-Israeli cyberspies built a company that funnels their talent straight into corporate America's top security jobs — bankrolled by Eric Schmidt.
Who they are

Team8, a company founded by former Unit 8200 commander Nadav Zafrir and partners.

What they do

It's a firm that institutionalizes the pipeline from Israel's elite cyber unit into Silicon Valley.

How it works

It raised $18 million in seed funding from backers including Eric Schmidt, Cisco, Alcatel-Lucent, and Bessemer, and runs a 'CISO Village' network of 600+ Fortune 500 chief security officers; 77% of those security chiefs expect AI to replace their analysts — using tools built by Team8's own cohorts.

Why it matters

It shows how elite military-intelligence talent gets converted into influence over the security backbone of major global corporations.
