Israeli startups raised nearly $600 million in November, according to press releases issued by companies that completed financing rounds. The figure may be more as some companies prefer not to publicize the investments they have received. This sum can be added to the $4.5 billion that Israeli startups raised in the first nine months of 2018, according to IVC-ZAG as well as the estimated $600 million raised in October. This means that the country's startups have raised a record $5.7 billion since the start of 2018, easily surpassing last year's record of $5.24 billion.
