The Israeli company, which provides a cryptographic compression service, has quadrupled its valuation in the past six months.
Israeli blockchain company Starkware has announced the completion of a $100 million Series D financing round led by Greenoaks Capital and Coatue, with participation from Tiger Global. This latest round, at a company valuation of $8 billion, comes just six months after the Netanya-based company’s Series C Round at a valuation of $2 billion.
Starkware cofounder and president Eli Ben-Sasson told “Globes,” “Pricing is a function of supply and demand, exactly like apartments in Tel Aviv.” The company’s cofounder and CEO Uri Kolodny added, “We feel very comfortable about the valuation and are grateful to our investors.”
