Google’s buyout of Wiz may no longer be happening, but it’s a good opportunity to explore the top 15 largest acquisitions in Israel’s history.
After initial buy-out discussions failed last year, Google’s parent company has now agreed to purchase the cybertech unicorn for $32 billion, according to industry reports.
A tough year of war didn’t stop the acquisitions and exits in Israel’s high-tech industry. Here’s a look at the top ten highest-value deals in 2024.
BeeHero, Orca Security, Snyk and Wiz cited for chasing big opportunities and growing despite a slowing economy.
A new study finds that 76 cloud computing startups have opened in Israel in the past half decade, translating to 8.4 startups per million people.
Orca Security, with $550 million, leads 6-figure investment rounds closed in October.
Next raises $250m, Yotpo $230m, Orca $210m, Incredibuild $140m and Wiz $130m, capping a quarter when cybersecurity companies took in $1.5 billion.
