Across the 35 pre-seed entries shown, the largest disclosed round is Brandlight’s $6M (2025-04-16), and it is notably above the next-highest disclosed amounts of $5M (PeerPlay, 2023-01-23), $4M (Octup, 2024-02-06) and $3M (FireDome 2024-12-03; Keep 2024-10-16; Knostic 2024-04-11; Configu 2023-08-14; Strikeco 2022-07-01). Amount visibility is uneven: 7 of 35 rounds are undisclosed (VaultNet Defense 2025-11-11; Treedis 2024-10-15; GoodDeeds 2023-05-05; FVMat 2023-03-16; Beta Entrepreneurship 2023-01-01; Maygia 2022-10-03; EyeKnow AI 2021-10-18), so comparisons cluster around the disclosed middle rather than the full set.
Geographically and temporally, Tel Aviv area dominates: 25 of 35 entries list Tel Aviv (including Tel Aviv-yafo as the same metro in these rows), with additional clusters in Jerusalem (Conflu3nce 2022-07-01; Privatise 2021-02-23; SolidBlock 2021-02-04). The most recent round is VaultNet Defense (undisclosed) on 2025-11-11, while the oldest disclosed rounds in this view start in 2021-02-03 (TenureX $1M) and 2021-02-04 (SolidBlock $100K), spanning roughly 2021-02 to 2025-11.

Frequently asked
What stands out in round size for these pre-seed Israel companies?
Brandlight’s disclosed $6M (2025-04-16) is the top in the visible amounts, sitting above $5M PeerPlay (2023-01-23) and $4M Octup (2024-02-06), with multiple $3M rounds also common (FireDome 2024-12-03; Keep 2024-10-16; Knostic 2024-04-11; Configu 2023-08-14; Strikeco 2022-07-01). The key outlier for comparisons is the undisclosed set, including VaultNet Defense (2025-11-11) and Treedis (2024-10-15), which can’t be sized against the $100K–$6M range.
Do certain cities cluster more than others in this pre-seed list?
Tel Aviv is the most consistent hub: 25 of 35 rows list Tel Aviv (and Tel Aviv-yafo appears in multiple entries such as Octup 2024-02-06 and Quonder 2022-02-01). Jerusalem is the next visible pocket with three entries (Conflu3nce 2022-07-01; Privatise 2021-02-23; SolidBlock 2021-02-04), while Haifa appears only twice (FVMat 2023-03-16; Maygia 2022-10-03).
Is there a tight time window where many rounds landed?
Rather than a single spike, the denser activity runs through 2024: several disclosed rounds close between 2024-04 and 2024-12, including Knostic $3M (2024-04-11), Octup $4M (2024-02-06), FireDome $3M (2024-12-03), and Keep $3M (2024-10-16). The list also shows a long tail back to early 2021, with TenureX $1M on 2021-02-03 and SolidBlock $100K on 2021-02-04.
How much of the list is undisclosed, and does that affect size comparisons?
7 of 35 rounds are undisclosed (VaultNet Defense 2025-11-11; Treedis 2024-10-15; GoodDeeds 2023-05-05; FVMat 2023-03-16; Beta Entrepreneurship 2023-01-01; Maygia 2022-10-03; EyeKnow AI 2021-10-18). Because of that, the ‘largest’ and ‘smallest’ takeaways rely on disclosed rows only—for example, the smallest disclosed amount shown is $80K (Tennisist, 2022-06-22).
Which sectors appear most often among these pre-seed entries?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the most repeated theme across the rows: Brandlight (2025-04-16) and multiple others including Knostic (2024-04-11), Octup (2024-02-06), PeerPlay (2023-01-23), Traceloop (2023-04-05), and EyeKnow AI (2021-10-18). Other clusters show up but less consistently, such as Financial Services with three entries (SolidBlock $100K on 2021-02-04; TenureX $1M on 2021-02-03; and Privatise $100K on 2021-02-23).
Are there any notable ‘high/low’ amount outliers besides the top round?
On the low end, Tennisist is the smallest disclosed amount at $80K (2022-06-22), and Privatise plus SolidBlock are also at $100K (Privatise 2021-02-23; SolidBlock 2021-02-04). On the high end, beyond Brandlight’s $6M, the concentration drops quickly to $5M (PeerPlay, 2023-01-23), $4M (Octup, 2024-02-06), and then multiple $3M rounds, while smaller tiers frequently recur around $500K, $250K, and $100K.
