Israeli tech, mapped for serious investors.
Claw & Talon helps independent investors, angels, family offices, and strategic capital allocators understand Israeli startups, dual-use technology, funds, public-market exposure, and resilience themes before making decisions.
Use the site for research, education, database exploration, sector context, diligence preparation, and advisory inquiry scoping. It is not investment advice or a securities offering.
Choose the path that matches how you are learning.
Different investor types need different evidence. Start with your role, then move into the database, checklists, and risk center with the right questions in mind.

Learn the ecosystem, vocabulary, exposure routes, and common investor mistakes before opening company profiles.

Use the Dependency Atlas to translate resilience bottlenecks into sectors, company types, buyers, evidence, and risks.
DiligencePrepare diligence questions
Open checklists before a founder call, syndicate decision, fund review, or public-market theme review.
RiskUnderstand risks
Separate access from suitability and review private-market, legal, tax, FX, export-control, and procurement issues.
HelpRequest a research readout
When self-serve research is not enough, scope a company screen, sector landscape, diligence memo, or licensing conversation.
Use the database like an investor.
The Startup Database is a research surface, not a recommendation engine. Scores are editorial research signals for comparison and prioritization. They are not investment ratings, recommendations, suitability assessments, allocation availability signals, or return predictions.
Start with a sector, compare entity type before comparing scores, then open the relevant diligence checklist before contacting a founder, lead, manager, or public-company source.
Free self-serve resources for structured research.
Diligence checklists
Company, founder, cyber, AI, defense, resilience, customer, syndicate, fund, public-market, and scoping questions.
PathwayInvestor pathways
Persona-specific workflows for angels, family offices, LPs, public-market investors, strategics, and researchers.
SectorSector pages
Investor-friendly explanations of Israeli strengths, company types, customers, failure modes, and evidence standards.
PulseMarket pulse
A static framework for reading funding climate, category heat, large rounds, exit conditions, and foreign capital.
RiskRegulatory & risk center

ThesisThesis playlists
Curated paths that connect guide pages, database sectors, Dependency Atlas themes, and diligence questions.
Contact is the path for scoped research support.
Use Claw & Talon when a decision needs more context than a public profile can provide. Scoped research support sharpens questions, pressure-tests claims, and organizes evidence. It does not provide investment recommendations or deal placement.

Category structure, Israeli strengths, investability questions, and public/private context.

Structured readout on technical claims, customer evidence, dual-use relevance, regulatory issues to discuss with counsel, and competitive context.

Question set and evidence request list before a first or second founder conversation.
