Israeli pre-Seed investments have surged, with angel investors and venture capital firms doubling their early-stage activity, according to Fusion’s annual report.

Angel investors are more active than ever, while VCs are becoming more flexible in their funding criteria. This shift signals a new era for Israeli startups, where validation and traction are key to securing investment.
