Israeli startups raised over $900m in October

Israeli startups raised over $900 million in October 2026, according to reports and 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 ten months of 2026, Israeli privately held technology companies raised $11.9 billion. In the first nine months of 2026, Israeli privately held technology companies raised $11 billion, according to IVC-LeumiTech, after raising $10.7 billion in all of 2025, up from $9.58 billion in 2024 and $6.9 billion in 2023 but well below $15 billion raised in 2022, and the record $25.6 billion raised in 2021.
