It is no secret that the main destination targeted by Israeli tech startups is the U.S. market. However, it isn t just one-way traffic. Take Aerospike, for example, an American company founded in 2009 that provides solutions to help companies build data-intensive apps or scale-up by boosting performances of existing databases. Aerospike boasts as clients Israeli tech giants such as AppsFlyer, IronSource, and Playtika, and has its sights set on many more.
Aerospike began operating in Israel in 2017 after identifying the potential of Israeli startups on the verge of having to significantly scale-up their operations. The U.S. company set up an Israeli office that dedicates its time to the local market, and three years in, the amount of business is such that it plans to double its workforce in the country to around 20 employees this year.
