Curious as to why you think it's a bubble. Israeli startups have had many successful exits in recent years, although mostly acquisitions, and not many big flops.


It's just my unsubstantial opinion. Too many players raising too much money in a consolidated market. Bar some notable exceptions (NSO), this herd of misguided lemmings has one way out - acquisition by Checkpoint/Imperva/SalesForce.

But maybe I'm wrong and we'll see 100 Mobileyes in the coming decade.


At the risk of being pedantic- did you by chance mean "unsubstantiated"? :-)

unsubstantiated (adj)- not supported or proven by evidence.

unsubstantial (adj)- lacking material substance


Thanks. Your correction is welcome and not pedantic at all (it's rather substantial). More so as I've repeated this mistake twice.


> it's rather substantial

I see what you did there.


Oh, in case you meant infosec in particular, you might be right, I don't really know much about this industry.


Yes the numbers given above are just for the cyber sector.
