Percepto

Dor Abuhasira co-founded Percepto in 2014 and has led the Modi'in, Israel-based company as CEO from the start. Under his leadership Percepto pioneered the 'drone-in-a-box' category — autonomous drones that live in weatherproof base stations at industrial sites and fly routine inspection, security, and emergency-response missions without on-site pilots — and expanded it into the AIM (Autonomous Inspection & Monitoring) software platform, which manages visual data from Percepto's own Air drones as well as third-party robots and sensors. Abuhasira has steered the company through more than $120 million in funding, including a $67 million Series C in 2023, and through landmark regulatory wins: Percepto secured some of the FAA's earliest nationwide-scale waivers for beyond-visual-line-of-sight drone operations at industrial sites, opening fully remote inspection for customers in utilities, oil and gas, and mining.

Raviv Raz was an Israeli Air Force pilot before co-founding Percepto in 2014, flying some of the world's most advanced aircraft and working hands-on with cutting-edge airborne systems. That operational aviation background shaped Percepto's core engineering philosophy: drones robust and reliable enough to operate autonomously, around the clock, in harsh industrial environments. At Percepto he has served as Chief Engineering Officer, leading development of the company's ruggedized Air drone platforms and base stations.

Sagi Blonder co-founded Percepto in 2014 and serves as its CTO, heading research and development. An autonomous-systems and data-analytics specialist, he is responsible for the computer vision and autonomy software that lets Percepto's drones fly repeatable inspection missions and turn raw aerial imagery into actionable insights — change detection, thermal anomalies, and gas-leak identification — for critical-infrastructure operators.

Ariel Avitan co-founded Percepto in 2014 and serves as its Chief Commercial Officer, building the company's go-to-market across electric utilities, oil and gas, mining, and heavy industry. He has driven Percepto's expansion from its Israeli base into the United States and Australia, landing the Fortune 500 industrial customers that made autonomous site inspection a commercial category rather than a pilot-program curiosity.
