Israel VC industry feels squeeze16/04/2003. Source: IVC Research Centre. 
 The Israeli venture capital industry has not been immune to the general decline felt by the global market. 2002 proved to be a troublesome year for the region with more cash handed back than was raised, according to the IVC Research Centre.
Israeli venture capital firms raised $63m in 2002 but actually returned $191m to their investors, leaving the capital raised figure at negative $128m. There is now an estimated $1.5bn of available capital in the region, of which over half is intended for first-time investments in high tech companies.
