CNN Money reports that investments in web2.0 companies reached over $465 million in the first half of 2007, a growth of 7% from last year, making the amount a new record. Israel and Europe are responsible for most of this growth, reports a recent DowJones and Ernst & Young LLP study.

CNN Money says, “Israeli Web 2.0 companies had their best showing to date, raising US$15 million in five deals in the first half, up from two deals and US$5 million invested in all of 2006.”
