Israeli software runs inside US companies. The invoices still have to get paid.
Latka tracks 596 Israeli SaaS companies producing $5.3 billion in revenue—fewer than Spain, fewer than the Netherlands, and punching far above their weight. Cybersecurity, developer tools, martech, data infrastructure: US customers are an important market for many of them.
And with that dependence comes a receivable problem: when a US customer stops paying an Israeli vendor, distance and unclear escalation ownership can keep the invoice aging.
Why US debtors stall Israeli vendors
Startups sell. Finance collects—but at an Israeli scale-up, finance is busy, the US entity is often a thin sales office, and the escalation path to a US debtor runs through someone who was hired to close deals, not chase checks. The account ages while the company's attention stays on growth. Meanwhile the US debtor has learned the invoice doesn't escalate.
There's also the jurisdiction question that shouldn't stop you: can an Israeli company enforce against a US customer? Sometimes, with real effort. But the money is usually collectible long before enforcement—the debtor pays when a professional shows up in their time zone with the file, not when a lawyer sends a letter across an ocean.
What we do for Israeli software companies
- US-hours, US-culture collection. The debtor gets calls during US business hours from a collector who knows the file, the liable entity, and the promised payment date.
- Use the product's proof. Dev tools, security platforms, and data infrastructure all leave usage trails—seats, API calls, alerts, adoption. That's the evidence that answers "we didn't get value."
- Work the US entity, not the Tel Aviv office. We identify which entity signed, which entity owes, and who in the US org owns the approval.
- Same contingency worldwide. 25% under 12 months, 33% over, 40% on second placements—no recovery, no fee.
The short version
Your software is in the US data centers. Your invoices should be collected on US soil too. Our international desk keeps the relationship and the revenue—send the file, and let a collector on the debtor's clock do the chasing.
