Israel
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolShlomi Matichin is a seasoned founder and CTO with 12 years of experience building secure, scalable systems and a background in low-level cybersecurity R&D for the Government of Israel. He co-founded Valence Security to tackle SaaS sprawl and identity-driven risks, bringing hands-on product and engineering leadership from prior startups including Capester and Stratoscale. Shlomi combines deep technical chops—from kernel and virtualization work to embedded Linux and cryptographic design—with a proven track record of turning security research into production-grade remediation workflows. He mentors Israeli founders through YL Ventures and has repeatedly led early teams through fundraising and productization, reflecting a blend of technical depth and entrepreneurial grit. One less obvious strength is his pattern of moving between blue-sky R&D and pragmatic startup execution, which helps him translate complex security problems into usable, automated solutions.
