Raftt was a Tel Aviv-based technology company founded in 2021 that built a cloud-based platform for deploying and sharing developer environments on Kubernetes, enabling seamless collaboration using local IDEs and tools.[1][2][5] It targeted software development teams, solving pain points in remote debugging, real-time collaboration, and replicating production-like environments without workflow disruptions, which shortened dev cycles and boosted productivity as noted by users at companies like 1MRobotics and LayerX Security.[5] Raftt raised $5M before being acquired by Wiz in December 2023, integrating its tech to enhance Wiz's CNAPP for shift-left security in cloud development.[1][3]
Raftt emerged in 2021 amid the rise of remote work and cloud-native development, headquartered at 88 Hachashmonaim in Tel Aviv, Israel, with a small team under 25 employees.[1][2] While specific founders are not detailed in available sources, the company quickly gained traction by addressing developer frustrations with environment sharing and debugging in distributed teams.[5] Pivotal early adoption came from R&D teams at startups like Clay and Salto, praising its integration into Git workflows for live environment sharing; this momentum led to $5M in funding and culminated in its acquisition by Wiz, a leading cloud security unicorn, to bridge security-dev gaps.[1][3][5]
Raftt rode the shift-left security and cloud-native devops wave, where tools empower developers to build securely from code to runtime amid exploding Kubernetes adoption and remote teams.[3] Timing was ideal post-2020, as distributed work amplified environment inconsistencies, while CNAPP demand surged—Wiz's acquisition amplified this by embedding Raftt's collaboration into security scans, image integrity, and remediation, influencing ecosystems like Priceline's supply chain protection.[3] It pushed the industry toward frictionless dev-sec collaboration, countering "secure cloud development as oxymoron" pains, and bolstered Israel's devtool scene alongside Wiz's unicorn growth.[1][3]
Post-acquisition, Raftt's tech now supercharges Wiz's platform, likely expanding into deeper CNAPP integrations for dev teams at 40%+ of Fortune 100 firms.[3] Trends like AI-driven devops, zero-trust Kubernetes, and multimodal collaboration will shape its evolution, potentially spawning Wiz features for autonomous env management. Its influence grows by humanizing secure dev—turning security into an enabler—positioning Wiz (and Raftt's legacy) as a devops powerhouse in a $100B+ cloud security market, echoing its origin as a simple yet sophisticated fix for developer frustration.[3][5]
Raftt has raised $5.0M across 1 funding round. Most recently, it raised $5.0M Seed in September 2022.
