The internal composition matters more than the headlines.
2025 saw the lowest deal volume in a decade — 717 funding rounds — with median deal size jumping to $10 million, a 67% year-over-year increase. Mega-rounds above $100 million captured roughly half of all capital raised; in 2024 they accounted for 41%, in 2023 just 22%. AI applications and cybersecurity together absorbed 70% of total capital — $4.5B and $4.1B respectively.
For the first time since 2021, Israel saw a return to large IPOs, with Navan, eToro, and Via going public; combined with convertible bond offerings from Wix and Check Point, an additional $10.3 billion flowed into Israeli companies.
