# Innoviz Technologies Innoviz Technologies is an Asset Manager based in Rosh HaAyin, Israel. ## Overview - **Organization type:** Asset Manager - **Headquarters:** Rosh HaAyin, Israel - **Region:** Middle East - **Address:** Rosh HaAyin, Israel - **Founded:** 2016 - **Assets under management:** Undisclosed - **Website:** innoviz-tech.com ## Regulatory record - **Reports private funds:** No ## About Innoviz Technologies was established in 2016 by Omer Keilaf and former members of Israel's elite Unit 81 technology intelligence corps. The company develops solid-state lidar sensors and perception software designed to give autonomous vehicles high-resolution 3D vision. Its early anchor was a supply agreement with BMW, a rare Tier-1 contract for a startup that signaled industrial credibility. Innoviz specializes in MEMS-based solid-state lidar, targeting Level 3 to Level 5 autonomous driving systems. The company's revenue model is hardware unit sales plus perception software licensing, and it produces two main products: InnovizOne (automotive-grade, for series production) and InnovizTwo (a cost-reduced follow-on with improved performance). Beyond automotive, it supplies lidar to non-automotive sectors including logistics, smart cities, and industrial automation. Confirmed customers include BMW, Volkswagen, and Magment, a wireless EV-charging infrastructure firm. Innoviz went public on Nasdaq in April 2021 through a merger with Collective Growth Corporation, a SPAC, raising approximately $350 million in gross proceeds. As of the de-SPAC transaction, the company reported 353 employees with R&D and manufacturing facilities in Israel and an office in Munich, Germany. The firm disclosed a forward order book of $2.4 billion at the time of listing, although revenue recognition is back-end-loaded to the start of series vehicle production by automotive OEMs. The firm's structural differentiator is its dual-hardware-and-software approach, selling a full-stack perception system rather than just a commodity sensor. It competes directly with Luminar, Velodyne, and Aeva, but its bet on MEMS-based solid-state architecture—with no moving parts—separates it from older mechanical lidar designs. The company operates as a fabless semiconductor model, outsourcing manufacturing to tier-1 automotive contract manufacturers, a capital-light structure that shifts risk to supply-chain partners. ## Sectors - AI/ML - Mobility & Transportation - Industrial Tech ## People - Omer Keilaf — CEO & Co-Founder ## Questions ### Who runs investment decisions at Innoviz Technologies? Omer Keilaf is CEO and co-founder; major strategic and capital-allocation decisions are overseen by him and the board of directors. The company is publicly traded, but Keilaf retains significant influence as both a founder and the chief executive. ### How does Innoviz source its supply-chain deals? Innoviz primarily sources deals through direct engagement with automotive OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers. Its process involves multi-year qualification programs starting with early-stage co-development agreements, most notably an early anchor contract with BMW that validated its technology for series production. ### What is the difference between InnovizOne and InnovizTwo? InnovizOne is the company's first-generation automotive-grade solid-state lidar, designed for Level 3 autonomy and currently integrated into BMW series production. InnovizTwo is the follow-on product, offering improved range, resolution, and a 70% cost reduction over its predecessor, targeting broader OEM adoption and autonomous mobility platforms. ### Does Innoviz compete directly with Luminar and Velodyne? Yes, Innoviz competes directly with Luminar and the former Velodyne lidar business (now part of Ouster) in the automotive lidar market. The key technical differentiator is Innoviz's use of MEMS-based solid-state scanning, which contrasts with Luminar's 1550nm mechanical-galvo design and Velodyne's legacy rotational architecture. ### What non-automotive markets does Innoviz serve? Beyond passenger vehicles, Innoviz sells its lidar and perception software into industrial automation, smart-city infrastructure, logistics and delivery robots, and heavy machinery. Its sensor is used in non-automotive projects such as drone-based mapping and wireless EV-charging alignment systems. ## Related profiles - [ChargePoint](https://altss.com/profile/chargepoint-holdings-inc) - [Spero Therapeutics](https://altss.com/profile/spero-therapeutics-inc) --- Last updated: 2026-06-03T20:00:00.000Z Canonical page: https://altss.com/profile/innoviz-technologies-ltd Maintained by Altss — https://altss.com — methodology: https://altss.com/methodology
