Earlier today, Insight Partners Managing Director Liad Agmon spoke at Fusion VC's and Pearl Cohen’s 6th annual Trends & Forecasts conference to discuss current investment trends in the local Israeli tech and VC landscape. On a panel with leading investors from Claltech, Blackstone Israel, Vintage Investment Partners and NFX, Liad stressed the durability of Israeli high-tech: “One thing that is very Israeli is its resilience… We’ve emphasized to our portfolio companies that the most important thing they can do is ensure a working product and good service for customers, that’s all.” This sentiment is echoed on a global level in Insight’s 2024 investor predictions, including by Managing Director Praveen Akkiraju: “The only thing that matters at this point is whether your product is delivering value for customers, and it is indispensable. Your customer metrics are fundamental to a lot of key things like your growth, churn, and competitiveness. Keep it very simple. Obsessively focus on your customers — what problems are they trying to solve, how are they evaluating your product, how are they using your product and go build it.” Learn more about what’s in store for 2024 here: https://lnkd.in/e8Esp2zF

MAGNiTT’s MENA Q1 VC data is out now! Not looking great 👀 In line with my predictions in Jan, MENA's VC funding trajectory has followed a flattening trend, paralleling global VC investment patterns. MENA Q1 VC funding declined 60% YoY and 69% compared to Q4 2023 The FED has maintained interest rates in Q1. In fact Larry Summers even suggested the risk of higher rates in 2024. This backdrop highlights the challenge startups to secure funding rounds as investor appetite dampens. Until we see rates decline (still planned for H2) we don't anticipate an uptick in VC funding in 2024. This decline in MENA, however, echoes a broader global trend, as highlighted in CB Insights's latest report, which observed a 21% YoY decrease globally. More than ever, there has been a bigger disconnect between the public market rallies and the private market challenges. With the S&P up 6.73% YTD and the Nasdaq up 7.5%, we have yet to see public sentiment correlate with Venture Investment. Want to access the latest MENA insights?
