Among the 36 Tel Aviv–based financial services startups shown, one disclosed round stands far above the rest: IES Holdings’ $300M on 2025-01-22. The next-largest disclosed amounts sit well lower (CHEQ at $150M on 2022-02-22; PayEm at $200M on 2023-01-24), so the $300M entry is an outlier rather than the top end of a smooth size ladder.
The list also clusters by time: three rounds in March 2025 (Grain $33M on 2025-03-05; Utila $18M on 2025-03-19; plus earlier Celery $6M on 2025-05-13 is not in March but the broader spring window is active), and several large-ticket rounds recur in 2021–2023 (e.g., Identiq $47M on 2021-03-03; EasySend $51M on 2021-11-16; CHEQ $150M on 2022-02-22). Stage disclosures skew toward “Series Unknown” or non-standard labels: 11 of 36 entries show “Series Unknown” or an empty stage field, while disclosed amounts are often in the $5M–$25M band (with only a few exceptions like Carambola Finance’s $200K on 2022-02-13).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in this Tel Aviv financial services set, and how does it compare to the rest?
IES Holdings’ $300M round (2025-01-22) is the clear size outlier: the next-largest disclosed entries include PayEm’s $200M (2023-01-24) and CHEQ’s $150M (2022-02-22), with the majority of other disclosed rounds ranging from roughly $5M to $58M (e.g., Appcharge $58M on 2025-08-13).
Are there notable time clusters in the most recent quarters covered by the 36 rows?
Yes. Several deals land closely together in the spring 2025 window (Celery $6M on 2025-05-13; Grain $33M on 2025-03-05; Utila $18M on 2025-03-19), and the list also concentrates activity across 2021–2023 with multiple large disclosed rounds (Identiq $47M on 2021-03-03; EasySend $51M on 2021-11-16; CHEQ $150M on 2022-02-22).
Which stage labels dominate, considering disclosed-vs-undisclosed amounts?
“Series Unknown” (and non-standard/blank stage fields) is frequent: Plus500 is “Series Unknown” with undisclosed amount (2025-06-10), and CHEQ is explicitly “Series C” at $150M (2022-02-22) while many others use “Series Unknown” with disclosed amounts (e.g., Sorbet $25M on 2025-06-03 and PayEm $200M on 2023-01-24). Net effect: only a subset of entries are cleanly categorized into named stages (e.g., multiple Seed/Series A/B entries), and many are not.
Which companies look like extreme small-amount outliers versus the typical disclosed range?
Carambola Finance is the most extreme low disclosed amount at $200K (2022-02-13), compared with numerous other disclosed rounds in the low tens of millions (e.g., Five Sigma $2M on 2022-01-19 and Efficient Frontier $2M on 2022-12-06, which are larger than $200K but still far below most mid-to-high tens).
Are rounds tightly concentrated in a single city, or are there geographic variants in the rows shown?
Geography is overwhelmingly Tel Aviv, Israel. One exception is Appcharge listed as “Tel Aviv, Tel Aviv, Israel” (2025-08-13), while other entries show “Tel Aviv, Israel” with no other city variants appearing in the displayed rows.
