Hacking the #GTM motion is t-h-e most crucial part of any #earlygrowth startup. Which is what Deloitte Launchpad offers in its program for #startups that really sets it apart - #scaling to the U.S. Today we’ll take a deep dive into their Israeli portfolio. 60 companies... Ready? Let’s go! Most recurring investors? Team8, Insight Partners & Glilot Capital Partners. 2 companies are inactive and 3 companies have been acquired / gone public. *Excluding them from my analysis going forward. Company sizes by headcount:  🥇Small (0-15) - 8, 14.81%  🥇Medium (16 - 35) - 24, 44.44% 🥇Large (36+) - 22, 40.75% Classic composition for #B series investors (and beyond). Fastest growing companies YoY in employees for each category: 🥚 Opmed.ai (Small). 🐣 LayerX Security (Medium). *David 😍 🐥 Nimble (Large). 💵 Agora RE leads the list with the most funding to-date, totaling $67M raised. 💚 19 companies, 35.2%, disclosed funding in the last 12 months.  💛 15 companies, 27.8%, haven’t disclosed new funding in 12-24 months.  🧡 20 companies, 37%, haven’t disclosed new funding in 24+ months. Portco.s seem pretty stacked with fresh funding. Seeing as these are companies that are actively scaling, I'd stay tuned 🙂. ARR (working with the ‘lower end’ estimates): 📈 5 companies are at $10M+ / ARR 📊 4 companies are at $5M+ / ARR 💹 31 (!!!) companies are at $1M+ / ARR 🏗 14 companies are either below $1M ARR or have no estimate at this point. In summary, the promise holds true - the majority of the companies are commercializing and growing their headcount in the relevant departments (Sales, Marketing, CS).  Want to know who?
