2021 Israel EdTech 50

Strong mix of early, mid and late stage EdTech

The founded year of the 2021 cohort shows a balanced mix of early, mid and later stage startups, indicative of all strong innovation ecosystems. Established startups such as ThriveDX and Mindojo continued to make a global impact, along with teams such as JoyTunes. Over one quarter of the 2021 list have only been established for three years or less, with a mix of focus areas from advanced technology (NOVOS, Thinking Cap Innovations) to workforce focused startups such as coaching platform GrowthSpace and K12 instructional platform Tailor-ED. Growth-stage startups such as Gloat and Cyberbit (both 6 years old) are raising big funding rounds as they take to the global stage.

Broad sector footprint. Half & half B2B/D2C.

A quarter of the 2021 Israel EdTech 50 are supporting workforce upskilling and talent, with startups such as eLoops, Juno Journey and Edocate focusing on areas such as employee engagement, management and professional training. Management systems represent 16% of the list with teams supporting institutions and organizations with learning management systems (Centrical), analytics (Keepers Child Safety) and school management solutions (Kindix).

Advanced technologies and STEM is a traditional area of strength in the Israeli ecosystem, and the 2021 illustrates this focus across different categories from teams such as Edocate, InceptionXR, Sense and TekkieUni.
