The report also indicates that 38 Israeli high-tech companies raised VC funding in the first quarter of 2014, compared to 44 in the preceding quarter and 51 in the corresponding quarter of last year. The average investment per company in the quarter under review was $6.1 million, down from $6.8 million in the preceding quarter and up from $3.8 million in the corresponding quarter of last year. During the current quarter, $121 million, 52% of the total quarterly investment, was invested in 7 deals of over $10M, compared with $196 million (65%) invested in 10 deals in the previous quarter and $128 million (65%) in 9 deals in the first quarter of 2013.

Increased average investments in seed stageSome $232 million invested in VC-backed hi-tech companies in the first quarter of 2014 up from $196 million in corresponding quarter last year

Tel Aviv, Israel -- May 7th, 2014 -- Venture capital-backed hi-tech companies (in which at least one investor in a funding round is a venture capital fund) raised $232 million in Israel during the first quarter of 2014, down with 23% from $300 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 and a 18% increase from $196 million in the corresponding quarter last year, according the latest PwC Israel MoneyTree™ Report.

The report also indicates that 38 Israeli high-tech companies raised VC funding in the first quarter of 2014, compared to 44 in the preceding quarter and 51 in the corresponding quarter of last year. The average investment per company in the quarter under review was $6.1 million, down from $6.8 million in the preceding quarter and up from $3.8 million in the corresponding quarter of last year.

During the current quarter, $121 million, 52% of the total quarterly investment, was invested in 7 deals of over $10M, compared with $196 million (65%) invested in 10 deals in the previous quarter and $128 million (65%) in 9 deals in the first quarter of 2013.

Rubi Suliman, Partner, co-leader of PwC Israel's high-tech practice, Much has been said about the present period in the Israeli hi-tech industry, with its unprecedented exit and IPO success stories, and the resulting significant improvement in VC fund returns. Yet, as this report shows, we still don't see VC investment side picking up with full force. Some stability in investment flux is indeed evident, with a mild upward trend over the last few quarters. VCs and other hi-tech investors do have now significantly more capital in their disposal for making investments. For that, it is reasonable to expect, as hi-tech successes continue, that the amounts invested will follow suit. In the last two quarters, we have witness a new high in the average investment per company. This is another piece of evidence for the maturity of many Israeli hi-tech companies with need for larger investments, as well as the availability of money for making such investments.

In addition, we see yet another rise in investments channeled to seed-phase companies, mainly thanks to the abundance of companies in early stages, and, again, combined with the availability of financial resources from new or follow-up funds of long-standing VCs.
