Israeli tech closed H1 2026 at $8.4 billion in at least 129 rounds, one of the strongest halves on record, according to CTech. The largest cheques went to infrastructure: Vast Data's $1 billion at a $30 billion valuation, ScaleOps $130 million, ZutaCore $100 million, PointFive $60 million.

Cyber still produced the most rounds — Claroty $150M, Oasis $120M, Vega $120M — and Cyera's two $1 billion tranches (January and June) at $12 billion are the year's data-security statement. The Wiz alumni network backed at least ten rounds; Assaf Rappaport alone is in more cap tables than most funds.
