What Savvy does

Savvy was an Israel-based identity security software company founded in 2021 and headquartered in Ramat Gan. The company developed connectivity technology intended to enhance how enterprises secure business-critical applications at scale, with a value proposition centered on expanding connectivity capabilities within enterprise identity security ecosystems. Savvy's core technology addressed challenges in application connectivity and integration, and included capabilities such as multi-host classification and ownership succession plans that were positioned to strengthen identity security programs across enterprise environments.

The company operated a venture-backed business model, raising approximately $30 million in cumulative outside capital across two funding rounds — an $8 million early-stage round in August 2021 led by Cyberstarts (with Lightspeed Venture Partners), followed by a $22 million round in July 2023 led by Canaan Partners with participation from Cerca Partners, Cyberstarts, and Lightspeed Venture Partners. Headcount scaled to 51-100 employees, led by CEO Yoav Horman and VP R&D Eldar Kleiner. No standalone product pricing, customer segmentation, go-to-market motion, or named customer logos were disclosed in the available source material.

On September 30, 2025, Savvy sold certain assets to SailPoint, the enterprise identity security vendor, as part of SailPoint's strategy to enhance its Identity Security Cloud platform with improved connectivity features. Following this asset sale, Savvy no longer operates as an independent entity.
