Inferize

Tel Aviv, IL · founded 2026 · 17 (Oct 2026) employees · inferize.ai

Inferize built infrastructure software that makes AI inference workloads elastic. It targets cold-start latency, so GPUs don't sit idle while models load. The company was founded in January 2026 by Guy Bortnikov (CEO) and Lior Gorbonos (CTO), both of whom were on the founding team at Granulate. It raised a $10M Seed round led by TLV Partners and was still in stealth, with no commercial launch. On Oct 1, 2026, Nebius acquired it for a reported $100–150M, and its technology and team are being integrated into Nebius's Token Factory platform.
