Raz Roditti (also spelt Roditi) is an Israeli entrepreneur. He co-founded the military artificial-intelligence (AI) company Axon Vision, of which he is chairman, and the industrial AI company Razor Labs, of which he is chief executive.[1][2] He told Globes in 2024 that Axon Vision works with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF): "אנחנו עובדים עם צה"ל" ("we work with the IDF").[3]
Early life and military service
In a 2024 interview with Globes, Roditti said that he was 32, had been born in Givatayim and grew up in Tel Aviv, where he studied in the gifted programme at Ironi Dalet high school. There he met Michael Zolotov, later his co-founder at Razor Labs. He said that he had wanted to serve in military intelligence but failed the screening, and that in the IDF he was "ראש מדור מבצעים באגף טכנולוגיה ולוגיסטיקה" (head of an operations section in the Technology and Logistics Directorate).[3]
Business career
Roditti told Globes that towards the end of his military service he met Zolotov again, and that Ido Rozenberg, who had served with Zolotov in Talpiot, joined them. In 2015 they founded Jobhop, a casual-jobs app that they sold to JobNet, and then the software house Compie Technologies. A year later they founded Razor Labs. He said that Razor Labs raised about NIS 100 million on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange in 2021 at a valuation of about NIS 500 million, laid off about 60 of its 100 employees in 2022 after losing its largest customer, and in November 2023 signed a $31.2 million deal with an international mining group. In 2017 the partners founded two defence companies, Axon Vision and Axon Pulse, to apply Razor Labs' AI technology to the military field. He said that Axon's sensors were installed on drone cameras and in tanks and armoured personnel carriers, that "the technology is already operational", and that the company ended 2023 with $5 million of orders.[3]
Razor Labs' own announcement of its listing, in February 2021, called him "serial entrepreneur Raz Roditi" and said that he, Zolotov and Rozenberg had all been named in Forbes Israel's 30 under 30 list.[4] When Axon Vision listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange in 2025, Israel Defense described him as "Co-Founder and Chairman" and the company as "Founded in 2017 by veterans of elite IDF technology units".[1] In February 2026, as chairman, he announced on behalf of the board and the founders Rozenberg and Zolotov that Neri Zin would replace Roy Riftin as chief executive.[5]
