Overview

Encoded Ventures is a seed-stage venture capital firm investing in early-stage cybersecurity companies with a focus on data protection and privacy. Founded in 2024 by Alex Benik, a former investor at Battery Ventures, the firm leverages Benik's extensive experience and network in enterprise infrastructure to support technical founders in building foundational technologies that power cloud, data, and security ecosystems. Encoded Ventures has made 10 early-stage investments, including ConfigHub, DataFlint, Datum, Tenzai, Jazz Security, IPXO, and Atero AI (recently acquired by Crusoe). Approximately half of its portfolio companies are based in Israel, reflecting Benik's 15-year engagement with that country's cybersecurity and deep tech ecosystem. The firm focuses on inception, pre-seed, and seed-stage companies developing mission-critical infrastructure technologies, combining early conviction with a hands-on partnership model to support founders in product development, market entry, and scaling.
