August 2024 in Israeli tech funding: $201 million in 7 deals
The month of August is traditionally a weak one for tech funding and this year was no different.
Over $200 million were raised by Israeli startups across 7 deals during August, breaking a streak of five straight months in which local companies raised at least $500 million. Local tech companies crossed the $1 billion threshold in both April and May after previously going since August 2022 without reaching that figure over a single month.
Full list of Israeli high-tech funding rounds in 2024
August is traditionally a weak month for funding, with many in the tech sector taking holiday during the month. In addition, last month was especially tense in Israel, with no end in sight to the war in Gaza and the country bracing for attacks by Hezbollah and Iran for much of the month.
After 28 deals during July, the most this year, August saw a 2024 low of seven, not including SoftBank’s investment in Wiz which was only revealed during August but took place several months earlier.
