Dell Considering Acquisition of Dataloop AI, an Israeli AI Data-Infrastructure Firm
Dell Technologies is exploring a potential purchase of the Israeli startup Dataloop AI, according to Calcalist. If the deal goes through, it would represent a meaningful strategic advancement for Dell, which has been steadily expanding its AI investments and is building end-to-end AI infrastructure solutions for business customers.
Dataloop has built a platform that manages, labels, and processes unstructured data used to train machine learning models. Its workflows streamline how organizations handle complex data and help create information architectures tailored for an era where large-scale models demand vast, well-organized, and easily accessible datasets. For Dell, acquiring or integrating Dataloop’s capabilities could immediately strengthen its AI offerings and add a crucial data-management layer—often the backbone of any enterprise AI initiative.
Neither company has issued an official statement yet, and specifics about the deal size or timeline remain unclear. If completed, the acquisition would align with Dell’s strategy of growing its AI capabilities through targeted acquisitions.

Dataloop was founded in 2017 by Eran Shlomo, Avi Yashar, and Nir Buschi and is based in Herzliya. The company has raised roughly $50 million from investors such as NGP Capital, Alpha Wave Global, and Israeli funds including F2 Venture Capital, OurCrowd, and Amiti Ventures.
By the previous year, Dataloop had collaborated with a broad client portfolio across multiple industries, including Vimeo, Rentokil, UVeye, Taranis, Pixellot, Syngenta, and Brunswick, as well as partnerships with some of the world’s largest car manufacturers. At that time, the company employed more than 80 people.
