Cloud cost management solutions company Finout is the “most promising startup of 2025.” Finout is the top of the list of the most likely successful companies named with 80 local and foreign funds investing in Israeli startups. The final ranking was reached by the “Globe” editorial board after taking into account considerations such as the balance of different sectors and the growth rate of exceptional companies. This is the 19th year that Globes published its “most promising startups” list.
The funds have chosen a young, groundbreaking individual-owned Israeli technology company, with a major fundraising round (tens of millions of dollars) and healthy growth behind it, making a significant impact, and are heading the path to IPO. We tried to avoid the famous unicorn. In addition, companies that have performed the “Globes” rankings in the past few years have sought funds for which founders and employees have prioritized companies that served as IDF reserves.
Each fund was asked to select the company it was invested in, and four more were considered the next big thing in the field rather than the portfolio. The areas of question are software, hardware, defense technology, food technology, Agritech, CleanTech, and digital health.
