Clickz.com: High 5 to Israel’s ad tech achievements and work ethics

Clickz.com has some pretty great things to say about Israel’s online ad technology and Israelis in general:

Israel may seem like a topsy-turvy environment to operate a business, but technology firms have started up and housed research and development facilities there for years. And it’s no different for the online ad tech sector. Companies serving U.S. advertisers and publishers, such as AlmondNet, CheckM8, Eyeblaster, Quigo — and even Google — have ties to the young country, where daily challenges make for deep common bonds and a strong work ethic.

According to Israel Venture Capital Research Center, 121 Israeli high-tech firms raised $406 million from venture investors in Israel and overseas in Q1 2007, up from $360 million in Q1 ’06. A variety of online ad technology outfits have ties to Israel, including behavioral targeting firm AlmondNet, in-game ad company Double Fusion, e-mail firm IncrediMail, online marketing tech firm Dotomi, performance-based marketing company Quigo, and Media Boost, maker of an AdWords campaign optimization tool. Google also has R&D facilities in Israel.
