The seed from which Kaholo grew came to be in 2017, when we set out to solve a huge pain we had experienced in the DevOps engineering space.

DevOps required other teams, such as development, operations and QA, to take upon themselves some of the automation tasks. This, however, created many problems: a long onboarding process, which required learning new languages and tools and resulted in unwieldy spaghetti scripts. In addition, DevOps had lost control over policy compliance, leading to security risks and waste.

Soon after, Matan Kadosh, a software engineer with a background in security joined as a co-founder. As engineers, we knew there must be a better way – and we were going to make it a reality, as we began working on what would become the Kaholo product. Lior Tal, a successful tech entrepreneur and CEO, joined Kaholo as CEO and we were soon off to the races.
