One encouraging sign is that the nearly $500 million raised last month by startups was up from the $340 million raised in January 2023.
Israeli startups raised nearly $500 million in January 2024, according to press releases seen by “Globes,” – the lowest monthly amount for several years. The figure may be more as some companies prefer to remain in stealth and sometimes do not publicize the investments they have received.
Israeli privately-held tech companies raised $6.9 billion in 2023, according to IVC-Leumitech, after raising $15 billion in 2022 and a record $25.6 billion in 2021. After several years of declines, one encouraging sign is that the nearly $500 million raised last month by startups was up from the $340 million raised in January 2023.
