What's the endgame? Founded in 2011 by Oren Kaniel and Reshef Mann, AppsFlyer builds technology to measure and analyse mobile and digital marketing campaigns. Its platform tracks user sources, in-app journeys, and ad performance, and offers tools to detect and block advertising fraud.

By the numbers: AppsFlyer says it is profitable and cash-flow positive, with an annual recurring revenue run rate of roughly $500 million. It employs about 1,300 people, following layoffs last year that cut its workforce by around 7%.

In its own words: Chief executive officer Kaniel said the June investments were structured as minority stakes "without control or exclusivity," preserving the company's independence. "As AI takes over more of the decisions, independent attribution and measurement stops being an advantage and becomes the foundation everything else is built on," he said.

The signal: The $400 million facility ranks in the 99th percentile of all-time debt rounds for marketing companies in Israel, a sample of 117. It shows how profitable, cash-generating scaleups are turning to debt over equity to fund growth without diluting shareholders.
