Despite jumping 24 % in the amount of money collected in the first quarter of 2025, compared to the first quarter of 2024, there was a 12 % decrease from $ 2.41 billion collected in the previous quarter – where investors were in the fourth quarter in 2024. There was also a clear decrease in the first number of investments in the first quarter of 2025, where investors prefer to invest in companies already.
The first quarter of 2025 witnessed two exceptional financing rounds for more than 200 million dollars, as Fintech Rapyd raised $ 250 million, along with an equal amount that was raised in debt, and the cybersecurity, which raises $ 250 million. These two finance tours represented 25 % of all the capital raised in the first quarter. However, even after deducting these huge financing rounds, the amount collected in the first quarter of 2025 was still 8 % higher than the amount collected in the first quarter of 2024.
Cyber security performs
The cyber security sector continues to lead the investment amount in Israeli companies – the pioneering technology sector in Israel, as shown earlier this month through the acquisition of Google, which is worth $ 32 billion. The total investments in the startups for cybersecurity in the first quarter amounted to 894 million dollars, 42 % of the total funds collected, in 24 funding rounds (25 % of all rounds) – indicating a clear trend of industry power.
“We started the year with Wiz Deal, an exceptional thing according to historical standards. I hope the positive feelings that we already hear from foreign investors about the deal are translated into positive momentum for the rest of the year,” said Leumitech Maya Eceen Zafrir.
