Alarum Technologies

Alarum Technologies was founded in 2015 and went public on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange before listing on Nasdaq. Originally a pure-play cybersecurity company, the firm engineered a structural pivot under COO Shai Avnit, transforming into a publicly traded technology investment company. This offers investors exposure to Alarum’s internal portfolio through a single listed security. The investment mandate concentrates on enterprise software and cybersecurity assets globally. Alarum allocates across private growth-stage companies, direct equity stakes, and control positions, with a preference for recurring-revenue models. Confirmed portfolio activity includes the legacy internet-access and data-collection solutions business that generates the treasury’s operating income. Geographically, investments span Israel and North America. As a micro-cap public company, Alarum’s investment scale is tied to its market capitalization and operating cash flow rather than external limited partners. The firm operates with a lean management team from its Tel Aviv headquarters. In August 2023, the company formally changed its name from Safe-T Group Ltd. to Alarum Technologies Ltd., signaling the completed transition from product company to investment platform (per the firm, August 2023). Alarum's structural differentiator is its status as a publicly traded holding company making private-market technology investments. Unlike a venture capital fund or a traditional family office, any allocator can gain exposure to Alarum’s deal flow by purchasing common stock. This architecture aligns management’s incentives with share-price performance and eliminates the need for periodic fund-raising cycles.
