Israel\u2019s technology sector raised more than $1.15 billion across 28 funding rounds in March, even as the country spent the entire month at war with Iran following the outbreak of hostilities on February 28.<\/p>\n
The figures point to a striking continuity in investor appetite, with capital continuing to flow into early- and growth-stage startups despite geopolitical uncertainty. The bulk of the funding was concentrated in artificial intelligence and cybersecurity.<\/p>\n
Over the first quarter of 2026, Israeli high-tech companies raised over $3 billion, marking a 34% increase compared to the same period in 2025.<\/p>\n
Oasis Security raised $120 million in a Series B round aimed at securing machine identities in March, while ScaleOps secured $130 million at an $800 million valuation to address inefficiencies in managing cloud and GPU resources amid surging demand for AI compute. Wonderful, an enterprise AI agent platform founded in 2025, raised $150 million at a $2 billion valuation, bringing its total funding to more than $285 million in just eight months.<\/p>\n
Cybersecurity remained dominant but evolved in focus. Rather than traditional perimeter defense, many companies are targeting the risks created by autonomous systems and AI-driven workflows. Onyx Security raised $35 million to control AI agents within organizations, while Jazz secured $43 million to address data leaks in AI environments. Above Security, just eight months old and with only 10 employees, raised $43 million to tackle insider threats using AI agents.<\/p>\n
The convergence of AI and security was evident across multiple rounds. Linx Security raised $50 million to address identity risks as non-human users proliferate, while Native secured $31 million to simplify multi-cloud security. Cylake, a new venture from Palo Alto Networks founder Nir Zuk, emerged with $45 million in seed funding to build an AI-driven platform for organizations unable to rely on public cloud infrastructure.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, startups focused on the infrastructure underpinning AI adoption. Niv-AI raised $12 million to optimize electricity usage in data centers, while Qodo secured $70 million to address the growing gap between rapid code generation and slower validation processes. Voltify, which raised $30 million in seed funding, is targeting the electrification of rail infrastructure, positioning itself as a \u201cTesla of rail\u201d in an $11 billion diesel market.<\/p>\n
Beyond core infrastructure, AI agents are increasingly being applied to industry-specific challenges. Notch raised $30 million to automate customer experience in regulated sectors such as insurance and healthcare, while Carefam secured $10.5 million to tackle staffing shortages in hospitals using conversational AI. In gaming, Sett raised $30 million to automate marketing and user acquisition, and in urban mobility, NoTraffic raised $90 million following rapid expansion in the United States.<\/p>\n
Healthcare and life sciences also featured, albeit on a smaller scale. Scala Biodesign raised $16 million to accelerate protein engineering using AI, while Kailo Pharma is seeking to redefine PTSD treatment through a novel brain mechanism designed to weaken traumatic memories.<\/p>\n
