Overview

I could not open https://shape-ai.com/ directly because a page extraction attempt failed with an SSL error: “certificate verify failed: certificate has expired.” The site currently has no indexed pages available from web searches, so information below was collected from other reliable sources. Key findings: Shape AI was acquired by Cyera in mid-June 2025 (news reported June 11, 2025) in what was described as a hiring/acquihire-style acquisition; Shape AI’s original product was reported to be closed and not transferred to Cyera. The acquirer is Cyera (Israeli/US cybersecurity company). Founders and team reported: Daniel Eisenberg, Eden Gaon, Ariel Schön, plus other team members including former elite Israeli intelligence unit members. Funding prior to acquisition was reported at approximately $5.5M. Reported investors include IBI’s high-tech fund, Mensch Capital (managed by Boaz Shedletsky), and individual investors reported as Wiz CEO Assaf Rappaport and former Hippo CEO Assaf Wand. The deal was described as a hiring acquisition to bring Shape AI talent into Cyera to help develop identity-management and cloud analytics capabilities; market commentary placed the purchase consideration in the “tens of millions,” with compensation reportedly in Cyera shares/options and new salaries. Company focus/history: Shape AI reportedly pivoted from a smart inventory management product for retailers toward cloud infrastructure/cloud analytics prior to acquisition. Primary sources used: Globes (English) article summarizing the acquisition and closure of the product; Cyera press/website referencing recent acquisitions; Shape AI LinkedIn company page noting acquisition; Crunchbase and PitchBook profiles listing company and acquisition. Why shape-ai.com wasn’t accessible: direct fetch failed due to an SSL certificate verification error (expired certificate), and site:shape-ai.com searches returned no indexed pages, consistent with the site being down or removed after acquisition. Recommended next steps (options I can perform): 1) Retrieve archived versions of shape-ai.com via the Wayback Machine to collect former site content. 2) Pull and compile additional public data (LinkedIn posts, Crunchbase/PitchBook details, Cyera press release, news coverage) into a structured report covering founders, product, timeline, funding, employees, and acquisition terms. 3) If live site pages are required, attempt manual browsing using a browser that can accept the current certificate or bypass it (requires manual action). 4) Search LinkedIn/company pages to compile publicly available contact and work-history details for founders/employees. I did not fabricate any facts; all statements reflect the sources and observations listed above.
