Cloud cost management solutions company Finout is the “Globes” “Most Promising Startup of 2025.” Finout tops the list of companies most likely to succeed named by 80 local and foreign funds that invest in Israeli startups. The final rankings were arrived at by the “Globes” editorial board after taking into account such considerations as balance between different fields, and exceptional company growth rates. This is the nineteenth year that “Globes” has published its “Most Promising Startups” list.
The funds were asked choose young, groundbreaking, privately-held Israeli technology companies with significant fund-raising rounds behind them (in the tens of millions of dollars) and healthy growth rates, that are making a significant impact and are on the road to an IPO. We tried to avoid well-known unicorns, and also companies that have made the “Globes” rankings in previous years, and we asked the participating funds to give preference to companies where the founders and employees have served in the IDF reserves.
Each fund was asked to select a company in which it was invested, and another four not in its portfolio but which it saw as the next big things in their fields. The fields in question are software, hardware, defense-tech, food-tech, agritech, cleantech, and digital health.
