Alice is an Israeli startup that sells tools intended to protect AI models from misuse and from what its coverage describes as rogue behavior. It said on August 25, 2026 that it had raised $140 million in a round led by Apax Digital, a fund of the private-equity firm Apax Partners, with participation from SentinelOne and Samsung Electronics. Chief executive Noam Schwartz said the investment gives the company a valuation close to $1 billion. Bloomberg placed the raise after a run of high-profile intrusions originating from AI systems, and described the company as working with Anthropic and Google (Source: bloomberg.com).
Only the first two paragraphs of the reporting were retrievable behind the publisher's subscription wall. The company's founding date, product names, headcount, revenue, prior funding, and the nature and scope of its arrangements with Anthropic and Google are not established here, and the valuation figure is the chief executive's own characterization rather than a disclosed post-money number.
