Growth-Positive for Wisio, Poiike and DriftSense, Growth-Negative for SimilarWeb, Zerto and Sisense
https://www.jpost.com/health-science/the-israeli-tech-at-the-end-of-the-coronavirus-tunnel-627959
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on Israels tech industry, with companies facing unique challenges due to the crisis. While some companies, like Wisio, Poiike and DriftSense, have been able to adapt and even grow during this time, others like SimilarWeb, Zerto and Sisense have had to lay off employees. The sudden halt in venture capital investments has also affected startups, shortening their runways and forcing them to operate under the assumption that no additional funding will be secured in the next 12 months. Despite these challenges, many believe that entrepreneurs will drive the economy back on track and create the new normal in the post-COVID age.
