@IVCOnline_IL and @LeumiTech 's Q3/2026 Tech Review is now available. Beyond the quarterly figures, the 41-page report examines how Israeli tech activity is changing and where longer-term trends are emerging.
🧵
The full Q3/2026 Tech Review provides detailed data and analysis on capital raising, investment stages, sectors, investors, exits, and market developments.
🧵
The report looks at the recovery in funding activity, changes in new company formation, the rise in median funding rounds, and the growing role of US buyers in Israeli tech exits.
🧵
Israeli institutional investors increased their activity in Israeli tech, but activity remains far below the 2021 peak.

More insights and analysis in the IVC H1/2026 Investors Report:

Institutional investors participated in 17 funding rounds in H1/2026. These rounds accounted for 17% of the total capital raised by Israeli tech companies during the period.
🧵
The longer-term picture shows how much activity has changed. In 2021, institutional investors made 162 investments totaling $1.15 billion. Activity declined sharply in the following years.
🧵
According to the @IVCOnline_IL H1/2026 Investors Report, Israeli institutional investors made 21 direct investments in Israeli tech companies, totaling $145 million, compared with 39 investments totaling $159 million during all of 2025.
🧵
Israeli tech companies raised $3.6billion in Q3/2026, according to preliminary data from the upcoming Tech Review by @IVCOnline_IL and @LeumiTech.
The capital was raised in 91 disclosed rounds, down 7% from the H1/2026 quarterly average but up 53% from Q3/2025.

More early findings from the report:
Cyber continues to lead, with $4.3 billion raised since the beginning of 2026, accounting for 38% of total capital. Enterprise software accounted for close to 30% of total funding since the beginning of the year its highest share since 2020.🧵
Foreign CVCs continue to lead first investments in Israeli tech, but US CVCs are playing a smaller role. According to @IVCOnline_IL H1/2026 Investors Report, foreign CVCs made 32 first investments in Israeli tech companies during H1/2026, compared with 12 by Israeli CVCs.
🧵
Read the H1/2026 IVC Investors Report for more insights:

It is still too early to compare H1/2026 with full-year figures. Still, the composition is worth watching: foreign CVCs remain the main source of new corporate investment activity in Israeli tech, with non-US investors accounting for most of that activity so far in 2026.
🧵
Israeli CVC activity has remained smaller, although it has fluctuated considerably over the decade. Israeli CVCs made 14 first investments in 2025 and 12 during the first half of 2026.
🧵
Longer-term data show how this balance has shifted. US CVC first investments peaked at 72 in both 2018 and 2019 and have declined since 2021, reaching 25 in 2025.
