AI investments

Willow is the AI round on the Lounge deals desk. Willow is a Herzliya-based startup that emerged from stealth with a $7M seed round in June 2026. Hetz Ventures led the round, and Abrahami and Wix president Nir Zohar invested early. Willow's founders are former Wix engineers. Its platform gives enterprises visibility and control over how AI agents connect to internal systems and what data they access. Jewish News reported that more than 5,000 Wix employees use it.

Crunchbase also lists his participation in nexos.ai (seed in January 2025, Series A in September 2025) and Era (pre-seed in July 2025). The sources reviewed do not describe what those two companies build.
