Google selected 33 startups for its Gemini Startup Forum: Cybersecurity accelerator, with 11 (one-third) either founded in Israel or led by Israeli entrepreneurs. Participants gain access to Google's AI infrastructure, language models, and cloud tools to build autonomous defence systems.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cybersecurity and AI Infrastructure. Wire is Fusion42's founder-focused intelligence feed: each story is connected to the funds and startups it names — every one with a live profile on Raise or Scout — so founders can follow the capital and the momentum behind the headline rather than just the headline itself. Wire analysis is one of the live surfaces Arthur reasons over.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you're building security tools outside Israel, Google just announced who it's betting will define the next generation: Israeli founders. You now have a direct competitor with free access to Google's best models and infrastructure—and a proven playbook of what Google thinks works.
