Salvador Technologies, an Israeli cybersecurity startup, raised $6 million in a Seed funding round led by Pico Venture Partners, with participation from existing investors such as Pitango VC and Sarona Partners.
At the same time, ScaleOps, an Israeli startup specializing in cloud resource management, raised $15 million in a Series A round of funding. The company has now raised $21.5 million to date.
While these might be small raises, this still counts as a good sign for Startup Nation Israel in the aftermath of the barbaric Hamas terror attack of October 7 and the ongoing Iron Swords War in Gaza, After an understandable lull during the first month of the war, it can be said that Israel’s high-tech sector is back to business as usual and even the Shekel, which lost more than 6% of its value in the weeks after October 7, has bounced back and is now trading above its October 6 value.
