Our country-by-country analysis of the top funded startups continues with the latest installment – Israel. One of the most impressive aspects of Israel’s startup ecosystem is the innate need to build products that have a global appeal. Israeli entrepreneurs are limited by the small domestic market – with only 8 million residents, it’s not big enough to sustain companies that only look inward.
