Cyber boosts funding at Israeli startups in first half, report says

JERUSALEM: Private funding in Israeli startups bounced back in the first half of 2024, led by investment in cyber security firms, Startup Nation Central said in a report on Wednesday.

Funding rose 31% to $5.1 billion January-to-June compared to the second half of 2023, with that number reaching as much as $6.7 billion when accounting for unreported rounds and undisclosed amounts, the nonprofit organisation said.
