We Are Tikal
Who We Are
We're Tikal, an Agentic Engineering company helping organizations transform the way they build software.
Our story began in 1999, when our founder, Lior Kanfi, started Tikal as a knowledge management startup, driven by a passion for open source and knowledge sharing. Since then, we've evolved alongside the software industry, and today we help organizations make the shift to agentic engineering.
Working with hundreds of organizations across enterprise software, fintech, cybersecurity, defense and more gives us firsthand insight into what works and what doesn't. We turn this industry perspective into proven engineering practices and methodologies that help organizations scale, bringing them into every engagement.
What We Do
We help organizations move to agentic engineering, where developers and agents build together, with results you can measure.
Our capabilities cover agents and agentic workflows, cloud infrastructure and DevOps, data platforms and AI governance, and product engineering and MVP.
We work alongside engineering teams to build these practices into their daily work, so they can move beyond isolated AI experiments to a scalable way of building software.
Knowledge Sharing Is in Our DNA
Sharing what we learn has been part of who we are since day one. From our open source roots to the Israeli Tech Radar, meetups and engineering communities, we've always believed that knowledge becomes more valuable when it's shared.
We bring together engineers and engineering leaders to exchange ideas, learn from real experience and explore what's changing in software development. As agentic engineering reshapes the industry, we keep experimenting, learning and sharing what works.
Through the Israeli Tech Radar, our community surveys and events, we explore emerging engineering trends, exchange perspectives with practitioners and engineering leaders, and help shape the conversation about what's next.
