Atera is an Israeli startup offering IT management services. The company now has a $500 million valuation. Well, being half a unicorn is better than nothing at all. The valuation comes after a raise of $77 million from a Series B round with General Atlantic and K1 Capital.
Atera has a total investment to date of $100 million. The current valuation, therefore, means that every dollar just invested bought roughly 2% of the company, depending on the investment terms.
So it is not just cybersecurity or fintech that is moving Startup Nation these days. Information technology is clearly still a field that offers opportunities for new companies if Atera’s valuation says anything.
