IVC Reports: $914M Raised By Israeli VCs In 2014

January 14, 2015 | According to a report by IVC Research and KPMG Israel, 12 Israeli venture capital funds raised $914 million in 2014. This is the most raised by an Israeli venture capital fund in six years, with 2014 up 68 percent from $544 million raised by 11 Israeli venture capital funds in 2013. Four veteran Israeli venture capital funds raised more than $100 million each, with Carmel Venture’s fourth fund attracting the largest amount of funds, $194 million. In addition, the average fund size in 2014 reached $76 million, 55 percent higher than 2013’s $49 million average, reflected what IVC experts believe to be the rise of more medium-sized funds with fewer ‘micro’ venture capital funds than previous years.
