Attenti, then known as Dmatek, was the first Israeli company to float stock on the London Stock Exchange's AIM market - a good venue for smaller companies. It went public at 75 pence a share, reflecting a market cap of $21 million.

In 2000, Dmatek stock began to be traded on the main London exchange.

According to the Israel Venture Capital Research Center, Dmatek raised a total of about $16 million on the stock market. Its last issue, in 2000, was made at a market cap of $90 million.

Attenti's case presents an unusual exit story among Israeli high-tech companies. It was founded in 1990 by three ex-air force pilots: Doron Dovrat, Mike Goldstein and Avishai Harel. At first it was a software venture, but after three years the partners decided that a change of business model was in order, and moved to hardware.

In 1993 Attenti, as Dmatek, focused on two main elements: devices to monitor prisoners and devices to monitor printing processes. In printing, it operated through a subsidiary called Advanced Vision Technology, which listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. It was sold in 1997 to a group of venture investors, and Dmatek focused on monitoring technology, through its subsidiary Elmo-Tech.

In 2000, Elmo-Tech spawned a subsidiary of its own, Home Free, based in Milwaukee. It focuses on monitoring devices for elderly people suffering from dementia or Alzheimer's disease.
