Filed under: Tech companies · Companies that support Israel
Background
Attribution matters with Kaltura: the listed company is American on paper — Kaltura, Inc. is incorporated in Delaware and headquartered in New York — while its founding team, primary R&D center and about half its workforce are Israeli, held through the subsidiary Kaltura Ltd. The war reached the company directly: its product-design team lead Eynav Elkayam Levy was murdered at the Nova festival on October 7, 2023 and her husband kidnapped to Gaza, and in November 2024 a fragment from a missile interception struck its Israeli offices. CEO Ron Yekutiel said in December 2024 that the company had been removed from a large East Asian tender and from an existing contract in Muslim-majority countries over its Israeli association. Its documented pro-Israel actions after October 7 — the Stand4Israel advocacy platform and the war-related donation and employee-relocation costs in its 10-K — were corporate acts of Kaltura, not personal ones.

Timeline of documented support
Documented support
| Type | Date | Amount | Recipient | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Operations in Israel | 2006 | — | State of Israel (employment, R&D, tech-sector identity) Israeli-founded video-technology company with a precise split of identities: the Nasdaq-listed parent, Kaltura, Inc., is incorporated in Delaware and headquartered in New York City — legally an American company — but it was founded in 2006 by Israeli entrepreneurs Ron Yekutiel, Michal Tsur, Shay David and Eran Etam, and its primary research and development, human resources and parts of finance are run from its Israeli center in the Tel Aviv area (Bnei Brak, per its 10-K) through the Israeli subsidiary Kaltura Ltd. As of December 31, 2023 it had 344 full-time employees in Israel — about half of its roughly 700-person workforce — and a number of its officers and directors are Israeli residents. Its filings state plainly that political, economic and military conditions in Israel directly affect the business. | |
| In-kind support | 2023-11-05 | — | Stand4Israel (pro-Israel information platform, stand4israel.net) Weeks after October 7, 2023, Kaltura — together with Israeli AI startup GlossAI — built and launched Stand4Israel, a free platform distributing verified videos, articles, survivor testimonies and information about the abducted and wounded from the October 7 attacks, initially in 11 languages (later expanded by another 23), with content designed to be shared on social media to counter what the company called fake news about the war; 'Israel's ability to tell the real story will be crucial to the continuation of the war,' Liad Eshkar told CTech. The company platform is dedicated to the memory of Eynav Elkayam Levy, a Kaltura product-design team lead murdered by Hamas at the Nova festival on October 7, and hosts a donation campaign for her orphaned son. This was a corporate initiative of Kaltura, contributing its video technology and staff time to Israel's wartime advocacy effort. | |
| Donation | 2023 | — | Communities in Israel directly impacted by the October 7 war (recipients unnamed in filing) In its fiscal 2023 annual report, Kaltura, Inc. disclosed $331,000 of 'war related costs' comprising three corporate actions after October 7, 2023: temporary relocation of key employees out of Israel for business continuity, purchase of emergency equipment for key employees, and a charitable donation to communities directly impacted by the war. The donation's share of the $331,000 total is not broken out and the recipient organizations are not named, so no separate amount is recorded here; the acting entity is the corporation itself (consolidated Kaltura, Inc./Kaltura Ltd.), not its employees. |
