13 Aviv Stock Exchange, and has represented Israeli financial institutions and credit funds in connection with real estate–backed loans. Chapman has also advised Israeli financial institutions on the formation of new investment funds and worked with Israeli FinTech companies on the introduction of financial products in the United States.

Many have expanded significantly through the establishment of base operations in New York and other key U.S. markets. These clients are attuned to market demand and have strategically partnered with investors and private equity firms focused on innovative, growth-stage startups aiming to leverage New York’s expansive customer base. Some clients enter the U.S. market through partial or full acquisitions of technology or manufacturing companies, engaging our firm to navigate U.S. corporate structures, closing processes, and tax implications. Overall, Israeli founders and startups have experienced an uptick in capital inflows and funding activity. U.S. investors and venture capital firms are increasingly eager to participate in these funding rounds when Israeli companies commit to establishing a U.S. presence and prioritizing scalability.” For all the political and regulatory questions that a future Mamdani administration may raise, these insights point to a consistent reality: New York continues to function as both a testing ground and a springboard for Israeli innovation and capital. The city’s depth of markets, legal infrastructure, sector ecosystems, and community networks still draw ambitious founders and sophisticated investors. For Israeli businesses, the challenge is less about whether New York remains attractive, and more about how to prepare for an environment where regulatory scrutiny, privacy and AI governance, and social priorities are intensifying. Those who invest early in compliance, governance, and local partnerships are likely to find that New York – even under shifting political winds – remains one of the most powerful platforms in the world for turning Israeli innovation into global impact.
