Can great scientists become great entrepreneurs?
Or does building a company require a completely different mindset?

In our latest Founder Stories, Ravit Netzer, Co-Founder & CEO of Scala Biodesign, reflects on the tension between academia and business and why she believes the gap may not be as wide as people think.

From computational protein design to company building, Ravit shares how a path in academia led, unexpectedly, to entrepreneurship and what scientists often misunderstand about the business world.

What actually makes someone capable of excelling across completely different disciplines?
And is “good enough” ever acceptable when building deep technology companies?

“Who should be CEO?”
Sometimes, there’s no obvious answer.

In the early days of Scala Biodesign, Ravit Netzer and Adi Goldenzweig shared the CEO role. Early on, Renana Ashkenazi gave them a critical piece of advice: even the strongest partnerships need clear ownership.

What made the decision so difficult?
There wasn’t a wrong choice. Just two founders who could both lead.

One of many honest founder moments from our latest Founder Stories episode.

Big moment for NoTraffic 🚦

They’ve been named to TIME’s 100 Most Influential Companies of 2026, and recognized as one of the 10 most influential transportation companies, alongside Toyota, Waymo, and Boeing.

What makes this stand out is what they’re actually building.

Traffic infrastructure is no longer just physical systems. It’s becoming a real-time, connected layer that can adapt and respond dynamically across entire cities.

NoTraffic is leading that shift.

By turning intersections into intelligent, coordinated networks, they’re improving safety, reducing congestion, and making cities work better, already operating across hundreds of cities in the U.S. and Canada.

Proud to partner with one of the teams shaping the future of mobility infrastructure.

Congrats to the NoTraffic team 👏

Still guessing your dilution before a round?
We just launched a Cap Table Simulator to change that 👇

Because your cap table isn’t just math.
It’s leverage.

Modeling dilution with SAFEs, notes, and a new ESOP pool gets messy fast.

Spreadsheets break. Assumptions pile up.

This tool gives you a clear, visual view of how ownership actually shifts post-round, even in complex scenarios:

• Multiple SAFEs with different caps

• Mixed discounts converting at the same time

• Your real post-money outcome, calculated in seconds

No messy spreadsheets.
No “close enough” math.
Just clarity when you need it most.

Big news. Teramount has been acquired by Molex!

We’re incredibly proud to share this moment.

From the very first meeting, it was clear that Hesham Taha and Abraham Israel were early to something most of the market hadn’t yet recognized, the growing constraints inside data center infrastructure.

They went straight at one of the hardest challenges in photonics, building a detachable, passively aligned fiber-to-chip interface that actually works in real, high-volume production.

That’s what makes this journey so special.

Not just the insight, but the ability to turn it into something the industry now depends on.

Molex is a natural home for this.

With their global scale, manufacturing capabilities, and reach, what Teramount built can now be deployed at true industry scale, becoming part of the infrastructure layer data centers rely on.

What started as early conviction is now shaping how next-generation data centers will be built.

We’ve had the privilege to work closely with the entire Teramount team.

An incredible achievement for the company, and a moment we’re deeply proud of at Grove.

Excited to share a big milestone 🎉

Scala Biodesign has raised a $16M Series A, led by Grove Ventures.

Protein engineering today is still built on trial and error, a slow and costly process that limits how fast new therapies can be developed.

Scala is changing that.

With ScalaOS, scientists can design and optimize proteins faster and more reliably, unlocking new possibilities across therapeutics and biotech.

The momentum is already clear, with leading pharmaceutical and biotech companies already on board.

We’re proud to partner with Ravit Netzer and Adi Goldenzweig as they build this next generation of protein design.

A big step forward for the team and for the field.

Huge congrats to the entire Scala team 👏

AI isn’t just about models.
It runs on infrastructure most people never see.

Power systems, cooling, networks, compute.
Right now, all of them are being pushed to their limits.

We mapped the Israeli Data Center Infrastructure ecosystem to understand who’s building this layer and where the biggest opportunities are emerging.

Here’s what stood out:
• 70+ startups across the stack
• $4.2B+ raised
• 65% founded since 2020

This space isn’t mature yet. It’s taking shape in real time.

From energy and cooling to new compute architectures and connectivity, founders are starting to rebuild the physical layer that AI depends on.

And that opens the door for entirely new category leaders.

If you’re curious where this is heading or building in this space, it’s worth a deeper look.

$90M to scale the next generation of traffic infrastructure 🚦

NoTraffic has raised a $90M Series C.

Cities are dealing with rising congestion, higher safety demands, and growing complexity, all on top of systems that were never built for real-time adaptation.

NoTraffic is changing that by turning intersections into software-defined, AI-powered systems that help cities respond dynamically and operate more efficiently at scale.

This is a real shift, from static infrastructure to systems that can adapt in real time.

We’re proud to back Tal Kreisler, Or Sela and Uriel Katz as they build this new foundation for modern cities.

Led by PSG Equity, alongside M&G Investments, LifeX, Meitav - מיטב, and Gear Ventures.

You’re going to be wrong.
The question is how long you stay that way.

Renana Ashkenazi sits down with Dave Mor, Co-Founder & CEO at OneLayer, to talk about what building really feels like.

It’s not just the decisions.
It’s how fast you question them.

Some of the most important companies start with a problem that isn’t obvious yet.

Today Niv-AI is emerging from stealth with $12M, tackling one of the hardest challenges in the AI era: power capacity.

As AI systems scale, the pressure on data centers is growing fast.
Modern GPUs demand enormous amounts of power, and existing infrastructure often can’t keep up. The result? Large amounts of computing capacity sit unused.

The Niv-AI team built a new approach to solve this.

Their platform observes the electrical behavior of AI workloads in real time and orchestrates compute to smooth power spikes, helping data centers unlock capacity they already have.

We’re proud to support Tomer Timor and Edward Kizis, as they build this new infrastructure layer between power and compute.

The AI era will require entirely new control layers across the stack

Niv-AI is helping define one of them.

Their emergence from stealth is also featured today in TechCrunch
