The September figure was the highest monthly figure for startup raising since August 2022.
Israeli startups raised over $950 million in September 2023, according to press releases seen by “Globes.” The figure may be more as some companies prefer to remain in stealth and sometimes do not publicize the investments they have received.
In the first nine months of 2023 Israeli startups have raised just $5 billion, compared with $12.37 billion in the corresponding 2022, and a record $25.6 billion in all of 2021, more than double 2020’s figure of $10 billion, which was itself a record.
