BDS [Boycott the Jews] Movement Defeat: $9.3B Raised Marks Strongest Half for Israeli Startups Since 2022
Despite war and unrelenting attacks from the Left, Israel’s tech sector continues to generate billions of dollars for the Israeli economy. Israel continues to create cutting edge technology in fields such as AI, cyber security, agriculture, defence, and many other fields. The Left is no match for the brilliance and resilience of the Israeli people.
Even without the exceptional $2B capital raise by Safe Superintelligence, an AI company with ties to Israel but not clearly defined as an Israeli company, total fundraising still reached $7.3B for the half year, a pace well above the roughly $10B raised in all of 2024.
$9.3B raised marks strongest half for Israeli startups since 2022
By Ynet, June 30th, 2025
After the end of the war with Iran, Israel’s high-tech sector is also recording a victory: the first half of 2025 was the strongest since 2022 in capital raised by startups. According to data from Startup Nation Central (SNC), total fundraising jumped 54% compared to the same period last year, reaching $9.3 billion in the first six months of 2025.
This pace seemingly signals a return to the high-flying days of 2020–2021. However, it includes an exceptional $2 billion capital raise by Safe Superintelligence, an AI company with ties to Israel but not clearly defined as an Israeli company. Industry trackers began including it in Israeli stats following the announcement by founder Ilya Sutskever, an Israeli-born entrepreneur, that the company would maintain headquarters in both Palo Alto and Tel Aviv. Even without this one-off deal, total fundraising still reached $7.3 billion for the half year, a pace already well above the roughly $10 billion raised in all of 2024.
