OrCam Technologies Ltd may just be worth more than $3 billion. This is according to insiders who told Calcalist that OrCam is planning an IPO in 2021.
OrCam says its mission is to improve the lives of individuals who are blind, visually impaired, and have reading difficulties.
What a world we now live in. From helping the paralyzed walk again to all manner of voice-activated systems, Israeli firms are at the forefront of developing new ways to help the disabled. In Star Trek the Next Generation, a blind character could see with the help of a special visor connected to his nervous system. Soon that too could be a reality.

The company anticipates raising $300 million from its IPO to give it the $3 billion valuation. So yet another Startup Nation company is looking at a billion dollar plus valuation with its IPO. In October cybersecurity firm SentinelOne reached the $3 billion mark with new investment of $200 million. Also that month Israel’s fintech startup Tipalti brought in $150 million in a Series E round which gave the company a valuation of more than $2 billion.
