Israeli Tech Funding Hits Two-Year High
Despite escalating regional conflict, Israel's tech sector raised $775 million in February. The figure marks the strongest month for fundraising since 2022, signaling continued investor confidence in the country's innovation ecosystem amid the instability.
The February funding surge was not driven by a single massive deal, but rather by a broad distribution of capital across numerous startups. The largest investment went to Tomorrow.io, which secured $175 million to expand its satellite constellation for weather forecasting. Cybersecurity was the most dominant sector, attracting a significant portion of the total investment. Vega led the pack with a $120 million Series B round. This investment came just five months after a previous $65 million funding round, bringing its total capital raised to $185 million. Multiple other cybersecurity firms also landed substantial rounds. Gambit, founded by veterans of Israel's Unit 8200 intelligence unit, raised $56 million. Other notable security-focused deals included Orion ($32 million), Reco ($30 million), Venice ($25 million), and Backslash Security ($19 million). Beyond security, companies focused on AI-driven enterprise data infrastructure also showed strength. Guidde raised $50 million to help companies deploy AI agents, Nimble secured $47 million for automating web data integration, and Matia raised $21 million to address data infrastructure challenges.
