Airobotics raised NIS 21 million on the Tel Aviv stock exchange, at a value of NIS 100 $31 million) before going public. This is a much lower sum than the company originally anticipated. Airobotics initially contemplated setting its value at $160 million, and then lowered its valuation to $100 million, and still could not raise the desired sum.
