PointFive, a cloud and AI cost management startup founded by former IntSights executives Alon Arvatz, Gal Ben-David and Amir Hozez, raised $60 million in a Series B round led by Accel to support its growth amid rising enterprise AI adoption. Founded in 2023, the company focuses on helping organizations manage the increasing complexity of cloud and AI infrastructure spending as software vendors shift toward consumption-based pricing models.
The funding round included participation from Index Ventures, Salesforce Ventures, Entrée Capital, Perpetual Growth, Vesey Ventures and Sheva Ventures. PointFive said it has reorganized engineering resources to become AI-native and has expanded beyond traditional SaaS offerings by incorporating implementation services into the product experience.
For enterprises, the platform is positioned to help address the growing challenge of managing unpredictable cloud and AI costs as usage-based pricing and token-driven billing become more common. The company’s growth reflects a broader trend toward tools and services that help organizations adapt to the rapid expansion of AI infrastructure spending.
