Israeli startups raised $550 million in May 2025, 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.

Israeli startups have raised $3.15 billion in the first five months of 2025. Israeli privately-held tech companies raised $2.1 billion in the first three months of 2025, according to IVC-LeumiTech, up 24% from the corresponding quarter of 2024 but down 12% from the preceding quarter.
