Foretellix, an Israeli startup that offers a platform for automating the testing, verification and validation of automated driving systems (ADAS and AV), raised $43 million in the first closing of its Series C funding round led by 83North. Woven Capital, the growth fund of Toyota, and NVIDIA joined the financing round. The company has now raised over $93 million to date.
Foretellix last raised $32 million in a series B funding round led by MoreTech Ventures in September of 2021. The company seems to be following in the footsteps of one of Israel Startup Nation’s biggest success stories Mobileye, which also works in the field of automotive safety and technologies.
