Slice secures $25M to scale AI-driven global equity infrastructure
Tel Aviv-based Slice, a fintech and HR tech company focused on cross-border employee equity management, has raised a $25 million Series A round to expand its AI-native platform for equity compliance and administration across dozens of jurisdictions. The round was led by Insight Partners, with participation from TLV Partners, R-Squared Ventures, Jibe Ventures, and law firms Fenwick and Cooley LLP. The financing brings Slice’s total funding to $32 million.
The company says the new capital will accelerate product development for its compliance automation engine, expand its product and engineering teams, and support international growth, including planned new offices in Singapore and London.
Why global equity remains a pain point
Equity compensation has become a core tool for startups and increasingly for large enterprises, but administering stock options and other equity plans across borders remains operationally complex. Finance, legal, and HR teams often have to coordinate tax withholding rules, payroll workflows, reporting obligations, and local legal requirements country by country—frequently using fragmented tools and external counsel.
Slice positions its platform as a unified system that connects cap tables, equity grants, exercises, tax compliance, approvals, reporting, audit trails, and even secondary sales into a single workflow. The company claims customers have achieved 60% faster equity operations and reduced spending on local legal support by 80%.
Customers include Wiz, Wayve and VAST Data
Slice said its customer roster includes high-growth technology companies such as Wiz, Wayve, and VAST Data, reflecting a broader trend: as startups scale internationally earlier, equity administration becomes a cross-border problem sooner than traditional back-office systems can handle.
Built for multi-jurisdiction complexity, not just cap tables
Co-founder and CEO Maor Levran said the business emerged from firsthand experience with the legal and operational friction of global equity. Prior to founding Slice, Levran spent more than 13 years as a corporate attorney working with companies, venture capital firms, and founders. He said he repeatedly saw finance teams struggle to manage equity across multiple countries, a process he described as messy, costly, and risky.
“The process was broken, messy, and costly, with a high risk of monetary damages,” Levran said in comments provided with the announcement, arguing that software—not manual legal coordination—was the only scalable fix.
Levran co-founded the company with Yoel Amir and Samuel Amar. Together, they set out to build what they describe as the first AI-native equity compliance and management platform designed specifically for global companies.
Agentic AI and embedded compliance rules
Slice says its platform embeds multi-jurisdictional tax and legal requirements across the equity lifecycle, including grants, exercises, withholding, reporting triggers, and employee mobility. The company describes its approach as agentic AI—software agents that can assist teams by updating and applying rules dynamically across more than 50+ countries.
According to Levran, the goal is to make it possible for teams to run equity operations “from a single system with built-in controls and auditability,” reducing reliance on country-specific manual processes.
Integrations and enterprise security posture
Slice also emphasizes compatibility with existing enterprise HR and finance stacks, including integrations with systems such as Workday and SAP SuccessFactors. On the compliance and security side, the company says it meets common enterprise requirements, citing SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, and CPRA readiness.
The company is entering a market where established equity administration platforms have historically been more U.S.-centric. Slice argues its differentiation is that it was designed for global complexity “from day one,” rather than extending a domestic cap-table product into multi-country compliance.
What the funding will support next
With the Series A, Slice plans to deepen its AI compliance engine, broaden coverage across jurisdictions, and expand its geographic footprint. The company’s longer-term ambition is to become what it calls an AI-native global tax-paying agent for equity—effectively automating compliance steps that today require significant coordination among internal teams and external advisors.
On workforce composition, Levran said the company’s team is approximately 40% women and 60% men.
Broader implications for global startups
The raise underscores growing investor interest in infrastructure that supports global-first companies—particularly tools that reduce compliance friction as hiring and compensation become increasingly distributed. As more startups employ staff across multiple jurisdictions, equity administration is shifting from an occasional legal project into an ongoing operational function. Platforms like Slice are betting that automation and embedded rules, combined with audit-ready workflows, can turn a historically bespoke process into a repeatable system.
