Mobileye: driving assistance on a chip
● Founded: 1999
● 185 employees located in Har-Hotzvim, Jerusalem.
● Develops computer vision algorithms and system-on-chip technology for driving assistance systems for the automotive industry.
● Products have been launched by BMW 5-series, GM Buick and Cadillac, Volvo S80, XC70. Future launches in the next 3 years cover 70% of car manufacturers.
● Financial history: seed of $1M (private investors), further rounds totaling $55M until 2004 (private and institutional investors). In 10/2007 Goldman Sachs closed an investment of $130M (at pre-money valuation of $500M).
