Israeli Tech Capital Allocation Imbalance 2021
New insight by IVC
26 companies were responsible for 33% of capital allocations in 2021.
2021 proved to be a record year for the Israeli high-tech capital market, with $25.6 billion raised in 773 capital rounds. The source of this positive trend - and the core of the increase - is the growing number of mega-deals (investment rounds > $100M, each) made this year. The previous year saw 77 deals over $100 million each, which added up to $14 billion - 55% of the total capital raised.
