LinkedIn Top Startups 2025: The 10 Israeli companies on the rise

The way professionals work, hire and build is rapidly evolving, and startups are at the forefront of that change. Advances in artificial intelligence have dramatically reduced the time, funding and resources necessary to launch a business — lowering barriers to entry and accelerating the next wave of innovation. 

Our annual LinkedIn Top Startups list identifies those innovators, surfacing the 10 emerging companies that are growing fast and gaining attention in Israel. These young companies aren’t just attracting top talent and investment — they’re shaping the future of their industries, whether it’s leveraging AI to optimize ads for mobile gaming or facilitating browser-based video and audio recording. 

The list is backed by LinkedIn data, evaluating startups across four pillars: employee growth; jobseeker interest; member engagement with the company and its employees; and how well these startups pulled talent from our LinkedIn Top Companies list. Below each company, you can dig into the top skills, roles and job functions — and navigate to people you may know or open roles associated with each.

Methodology

LinkedIn measures startups based on four pillars: employment growth, engagement, job interest and attraction of top talent. Employment growth is measured as percentage headcount increase over methodology time frame, which must be a minimum of 10%. Engagement looks at non-employee views and follows of the company’s LinkedIn page, as well as how many non-employees are viewing employees at that startup. Job interest counts the rate at which people are viewing and applying to jobs at the company, including both paid and unpaid postings. Attraction of top talent measures how many employees the startup has recruited away from any global LinkedIn Top Company, as a percentage of the startup’s total workforce. Data is normalized across all eligible startups. The methodology time frame is July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025. 

To be eligible, companies must be fully independent, privately held, have 30 or more full-time employees, be 7 years old or younger and be headquartered in or have been founded in Israel. We exclude all staffing firms, think tanks, venture capital firms, law firms, management and IT consulting firms, nonprofits and philanthropy, accelerators and government-owned entities. Startups who have laid off 10% or more of their workforce based on corporate announcements or public, reliable sources between July 1, 2024 and the list launch, are not eligible. These decisions are made by the LinkedIn News team based on company statements and/or reputable news outlets.
