Israeli startup funding up 28%, hits $900m in July 2025

Israeli startups raised over US$900 million across 28 deals in July 2025, according to data from CTech.

This marks a 28% increase in funding compared to July last year.

The data reflects officially announced rounds over US$5 million during the month.

Only two rounds exceeded US$100 million: Aidoc secured US$150 million, and Noma raised US$100 million in a series B.

Exodigo also closed a US$96 million series B round.

Other notable deals included Wonderful’s US$34 million seed round and Island’s US$200 million round led by J.P. Morgan.

Several rounds ranged between US$20 million and US$50 million.

🧠 Food for thought

1️⃣ Israeli cybersecurity startups continue to capture outsized global investment

July’s funding reflects Israel’s dominant position in global cybersecurity markets, with at least half of the month’s major deals coming from cyber-focused companies.

Israeli cybersecurity firms raised private funding equal to 40% of the total U.S. cybersecurity market in 2024, demonstrating the sector’s exceptional performance relative to its geographic size1.

Companies like Noma Security ($100M), Legion ($30M), BlinkOps ($50M), and multiple others in the July list show how Israeli cybersecurity continues attracting significant capital despite broader market challenges.

This concentration makes sense given that cybersecurity firms accounted for 36% of total tech investment in Israel, raising $3.8 billion in recent periods1.

The pattern stems from Israel’s unique military-to-civilian technology pipeline, where veterans from elite units like Unit 8200 bring practical threat detection and data analysis skills directly into commercial startups.

2️⃣ Mid-stage funding rounds signal mature ecosystem development
