OurCrowd recognized as Israel’s most active venture investor in 2024

30 January, 2025

Participating in 77 investment rounds, including 25 first-time investments

 OurCrowd has been confirmed once again as Israel’s most active venture investor in 2024 in Startup Nation Central’s Annual Report. This is the 11th straight year that OurCrowd has been recognized. OurCrowd participated in 77 investment rounds during the year – more than double the next most active fund in the SNC list – including 25 first-time investments. 

The SNC report highlights Israel’s position as a global scale-up powerhouse, despite the 15-month conflict triggered by the Hamas massacre on October 7th, 2023. Israeli startups raised over $12.2 billion in 2024, a 31% increase from 2023. The tech ecosystem achieved remarkable milestones in 2024 — unexpected funding levels, high-value M&A deals, and outstanding performances by public companies.

In 2024, in addition to its participation in a record number of investment deals, OurCrowd registered an increase in new active investors and in the total amount invested in startups during the year compared to 2023.

OurCrowd’s 2024 milestones include:

  • OurCrowd launched 11 funds including the Israel Resilience Fund, which backed over 40 Israeli companies affected by the war, unlocking matching capital and other sources for over $100 million in funding. We also launched the OurCrowd AI Fund in cooperation with NVIDIA Inception that has invested in 15 different AI portfolio companies.
  • First closing and investment in OurCrowd’s Korea-Israel Fund backed by the Korea Government and a major bank for $60 million.
  • Participated in three exits, including the sale of transmitral valve company Innovalve Bio Medical to Edwards Lifesciences for $300 million.
  • International investments on the OurCrowd platform continued to perform well, including Databricks, Groq, and other leading AI companies.

“Some people were afraid that Israel’s tech ecosystem would fall apart in the war, but it never happened,” said OurCrowd CEO Jon Medved. “Israeli readiness to embrace innovation, even when it seems somewhat risky, is a long-standing trait that is key to our sector thriving even in wartime – and crucial to its flourishing in the years to come. OurCrowd remains Israel’s most active venture investor, making significant investments in innovative startups both at home and abroad during a challenging period. The fact that Israel continues to grow its tech sector during war is sort of a core element of who we are, and our commitment to supporting this ecosystem is rock solid.”

As of February 2025, OurCrowd has over $2.3B billion in commitments, and deployed capital into more than 480 portfolio companies and 58 funds across five continents. OurCrowd’s global platform currently has 240,000 registered members from 195 countries.
