#Israel's #investment landscape in Q1 2024 is growing compared to Q3. Despite the current challenges in Israel, #startups are proving again to be #resilient as they continue to raise money and grow. Israel's decrease in investments is in par with that of the US in 2023.

If it's worth boasting about, let's skip the modesty! It's a story about creating Happy from scratch. Happy, a Viven Operations dental subsidiary, sells clear aligners across Israel. They work with partner doctors to ensure top-notch care and expert support, all focusing on promoting healthy teeth and fulfilling lives. So, here's what we've been up to at Halo Lab — Your Digital Partner Lab: ✦ Crafted modern branding to capture the energy of the target audience.  ✦ We tackled Hebrew font challenges and chose Avenir Next Hebrew and Gan CLM, suited to the language's unique style.  ✦ Designed the website with a sticker-style layout, using a mix of images and block-based tiles.  ✦ Added features like Treatable Cases, Day and Night Treatment, and a Mini Quiz to boost user engagement.

Yesterday, Sienna Venture Capital had the privilege of receiving an award from the CCFI - Chambre de Commerce France Israel and Henri Cukierman. I am deeply grateful for this recognition, which holds even greater meaning in these challenging times for Israel. The evening was made even more special by the presence of Maurice Lévy Publicis Groupe, the guest of honour, whose inspiring speech reminded us of the enduring strength of innovation and the values that bind us together. His words were a powerful call for unity and action, and they resonate deeply as we navigate these difficult times. Now, more than ever, is the moment to stand with and support the excellence and innovation of the Startup Nation. Israeli entrepreneurs continue to inspire with their remarkable resilience, proving that even in the face of adversity, innovation does not stop—it perseveres and thrives. This is a call to action: Let’s invest now, even when the skies seem dark. Innovation remains the beacon of hope and the driver of progress. To all those who believe in resilience, in creativity, and in the power of tech to change the world, let’s act today for a brighter tomorrow.

Yesterday, I went to check the deployment of the Lynxight system in the famous "Jerusalem Pool", in the Bakaa neighborhood of Jerusalem. The pool was rebuilt, renewed and reopened last December and is a really great place, with also a great gym, etc. Amazing and modern facilities with everything you can dream of. I am being told serious people go there on a regular basis... without giving out names! I had a long chat with the manager of the pool, Shaul Elkana, who's extremely bullish on the Lynxight system, and explained to me that the running price of the system is very low, the one-time installation cost is also very low, and that the benefits are huge: - First of all, you don't even see the cameras. Therefore, the system is completely seamless and nobody can even notice it. It doesn't bother anybody. From an aesthetic point of view, this is significant. I didn't see this as being very significant before the meeting, but it turns out it's actually important. Aesthetics matter for clients. - Of course, the main value of the system is enhanced security. I am proud and happy to say that we saved one life (another one!) *last week*, in a different pool. This has no price and talking about real impact, it's difficult to do better than this! The feeling is amazing, I have to say! 😊 - It's not only safety, it's the *feeling of safety*. As you can see in the picture I joined to this post, the "Jerusalem Pool" proudly features its usage of the Lynxight's system. Clients and users know that their lives and safety are being taken care of with the utmost seriousness by the pool operator. This counts for them! - As a consequence of what I just wrote in the previous point, the pool is *selling more yearly subscriptions*! Shaul told me that for instance, just a couple of days ago, as a potential customer was touring the pool and the facilities to know whether they are going to make a subscription, he showed her the safety system and that's when the client decided to join. It really only takes 4 (!!!) families to join the pool as clients to recoup the entire cost of the system on a yearly basis. So you get the point: beyond safety, it's an effective way to promote sales. It turns out people actually *like it* when their service providers care about them and about their security and safety. - The dashboard of the system is amazing. I will expend on this later on in a separate post, but you can see at any time the number of people in the pool, the exact location of the swimmers within the pool, and therefore the level of security and crowding in the pool, which is a good indicator of danger and also comfort for the users of the pool. I am very, very proud of Lynxight, the team and their achievements, which are literally growing by the way. We at Champel Capital couldn't be prouder investors and we are happy to call on people to join our club and look into this opportunity, together with us, by dropping me a message!

Tel-aviv has improved its position among the top startup ecosystems worldwide according to Startup Genome's 2024 report (https://lnkd.in/dN3aUa_h). What a powerful evidence of Israeli startup and innovation environment's resilience and the unshaken trust of the global investor community. The Israeli high-tech sector remains to be the engine of the nation’s economy, accounting for 18% of GDP, 48% of exports, and 11% of workforce. At Tachles VC we are proud we can back the next generation of cyber, cloud and infrastructure AI Israeli-born start-ups. Karel Tušek, Sivan Kanev, Boris Chovnik, Robin Bienfait

Is it shopping season for Israeli technology? The recent surge in M&A activity in Israel is the most significant sign of hope and optimism I’ve seen since October 7th. It demonstrates the potential of Israeli tech and the faith placed in it by top global companies. When technology leaders choose to further expand into Israel and acquire local teams, you know financial outlooks are positive. In cybersecurity - often the poster-child of Israeli tech - we’ve seen five acquisitions in quick succession totaling more than $1Bn. Flow Security by CrowdStrike (~$200M), Avalor Security, a Zscaler Company ($350M), Gem Security (acquired by Wiz) ($350M), Silk Security by Armis ($150M) and Entitle by BeyondTrust (~150M). All are led by exceptional individuals, well done! Perhaps more telling is the emerging AI industry. Last week NVIDIA announced its acquisition of two companies for a combined value of $1Bn. Congratulations RunAI ($700M) and Deci AI ($300M). Mainstream media is so focused on the voices of a racist minority calling for boycotts and divestments that they fail to capture actual news. Antisemites might yell the loudest, but the actions of multinational corporations speak louder than words. I am optimistic about the future. Are you?

The Q3 2024 Israeli capital raising preliminary report is out with some positive trends/ momentum, which is pretty remarkable, given the war. 🔹 Israeli startups raised $2.43 billion in the third quarter of 2024, across 99 rounds, representing a 32% increase compared to the same period in 2023 (pre war). Excluding the large transactions (6 transactions of over $100 million), the investments in the third quarter amounted to $1.33, a 5% increase compared to the previous quarter. ♦️ Despite the growth, Q3 2024 saw a 20% decrease in funding and a 17% drop in deal volume compared to Q2 2024, highlighting volatility. 🔹 In contrast to the dominance of the cyber sector in the previous quarter (62% of the total capital raised), in the third quarter the scope The transactions amounted to about 14% of the total of all rounds. SSI Inc. $1 billion round accounted for 41% of total Q3 investments. ♦️ Foreign investor participation remained strong, while local investor activity declined due to geopolitical and economic uncertainties.

Definitely one of the best teams I’ve met and worked with in the local tech scene. Run:ai ✨ But a few more reasons why this acquisition is awesome. 1. Nvidia appreciates us & keeps on doubling-down on the Israeli startup ecosystem. After the huge success with Mellanox the Giant is here to stay. That’s great. Again - I’d say that a big part of it belongs to Eyal Waldman. 2. Israel will get stronger, or at least keep on track within the race to AI. 3. Timing: especially now. When Israel is threatened and facing different attacks, and some big challenges. While many of us are not at our best (to say the least) and fight for our future - Nvidia knows what great innovation we have here, how great the teams are - and closing such a deal. 4. Just like many other great things we’ve seen recently, also this innovation starts with science. Education is important! 5. A small reason to smile and feel proud of our tech industry. Happy news. Congratulations Omri Geller Ronen Dar Yael Dor Rona Segev … 🤍 #bringthembacknow

Eurosatory farce continues: French court overturns ban on Israelis in Eurosatory defense confab Ecosystem 101: You can't take out a domino stone from the ecosystem and expect everything to continue "as is". There are Israeli components in every technology products today. The French realized that by banning Israel technologies from the Eurosatory event they might as well shut down the whole event. This is the same answer to BDS: If you want to boycott Israel you sould be prepared to go back to the stone age and continue your life in a cave with no internet, no phones, no electricity .... https://lnkd.in/erXQdMFC
