🎉 Some very big news: Vault Platform is being acquired by Diligent.
Vault was founded to help organizations run the ethical businesses their people and shareholders deserve. Today, we’re taking a major step forward to fulfill that mission. I’ll soon share more about the compliance powerhouse we’re building together — thanks to the vision & leadership of Amanda Carty, Brian Stafford and Ron Rogozinski. But right now, I want to reflect on the most epic period of my life and the magical company I was lucky to build alongside extraordinary humans.
For over 6 years, I poured myself into Vault. When I started, I didn’t know what being a founder truly meant, or how steep is the hill I'm about to climb. Through a pandemic, an economic downturn, and a war that crushed my nation’s heart — the struggle was real. So was the joy of building something from scratch.
Vaulties — past and present, the biggest privilege of my life has been your trust in my leadership. Please know that I never took it for granted. I surrounded myself with the smartest, most creative and driven people I know, and every day I learned something new from you all. Thank you for making space for my strongly-held opinions at times, and at other times, for allowing me to admit that I have no idea how to solve a problem - and for figuring it out together. Thank you for coming to our little rock band and for playing your best music.
To our first-class investors — especially our board and lead investors Illuminate Financial, Gradient, Kindred Capital VC, and Angular Ventures — thank you for being true partners. You lived up to the promise of what early stage investors should be.
And to our customers — thank you for choosing to side with better. You put Vault on the map. Under Diligent, your return on investment in us is only going to grow.
It would be a remiss of me to thank specific individuals, because the list of people who’ve been instrumental to this journey is truly endless. I got to meet incredible founders, investors, operators, and all sorts of experts in their field, and I was surprised to find out how generous people are with their time and advice. But there are two individuals that Vault couldn’t have done without. Tori Reichman - Vault’s first commercial hire, has turned into the most empowering business partnership . Reichman, I’d choose you as my running partner again and again, on any given day. Diligent are fortunate to win you as a tech executive, and I’m so lucky to keep on building by your side. Rotem Hayoun-Meidav, it was your tech mastermind that Vault was built with in its first leg of the journey; and it was your belief in me that made me go through the second leg.
Vault, a Diligent Brand is entering a bold new chapter. Product roadmaps, GTM plans and business models are in motion — but for now, my heart is just full of gratitude.
“…ומה היה הכל אם לא פרישה איטית של הכנפיים?”
