The acquisition aims to strengthen Salesforce’s AI R&D center in Israel and accelerate the development of agent-based search and knowledge discovery tools for its enterprise customers. The sale marks a significant return for a company that had raised only $7 million to date.

Doti AI was founded in 2024 by Matan Cohen (CEO) and Opher Hofshi (Chief Product Officer), who previously worked together at Wix, leading teams in software development and infrastructure security. The company is developing what it calls an “Organizational Brain,” a unified and secure internal database that connects to all company systems, from structured to unstructured information. The platform allows employees to receive instant answers, insights, and actionable recommendations within the tools they already use, such as Slack or a web browser, while maintaining strict data privacy and security standards.

The company’s $7 million Seed round was led by F2 Venture Capital, with participation from notable angel investors, including Jared Kasner, General Partner at Ineffable Ventures, and Guy Flechter, serial entrepreneur and CEO of Sola Security.

The expertise of the Doti AI team will enhance Salesforce’s enterprise search infrastructure, creating a unified “Agentic Search Layer” across the platform.

“Doti’s expertise fast-tracks our vision to reinvent enterprise search across Salesforce,” said Denise Dresser, CEO of Slack. “Together, we’re transforming how every employee finds, understands, and acts on information, through the power of AI and most importantly the conversational context that lives in Slack.”

“Since day one, our mission has been to transform how knowledge workers interact with information, making enterprise data instantly accessible and actionable,” said Matan Cohen, Co-Founder and CEO of Doti. “Joining Salesforce and its AI R&D hub in Israel gives us the global scale and resources to realize this vision faster. We are incredibly excited to build the future of agentic work alongside the Slack team at Salesforce.”

Jonathan Saacks, Managing Partner at F2 Venture Capital, noted: “In less than two years, Matan and Opher turned a bold idea into a transformative vision for the future of work, where people and AI collaborate seamlessly. What started as a vision became a product, a movement, and now a platform that will scale across Salesforce’s global footprint. We’re incredibly proud of the Doti team’s determination, speed, and clarity of vision that turned this idea into reality, a, and actionable recommendations within the tools they already use, such as Slack or a web browser, while maintaining strict data privacy and security standards.
