Background

Riskified is an Israeli-founded, Tel Aviv-headquartered company, but its relationship with the Israeli state is not one-directional cheerleading: in March 2023 — months before the war — CEO Eido Gal moved the company's entire $500 million cash reserve out of Israel in protest of the government's judicial overhaul, warning Israel risked becoming 'a more authoritarian state', and expanded hiring and relocation packages at its Lisbon site. Israel's share of its workforce has fallen from about 70% to 60% and Israeli hiring has largely been paused. After October 7, 2023 its documented support was humanitarian: donations and matching for war-relief groups such as Natal, and employee volunteering for soldiers' meals, evacuees and shelters, per its own CSR report. Its largest documented giving is older than the war: stock options it donated to the Tmura fund when the company was founded, which by March 2026 had produced $1,798,000 for Israeli education and social nonprofits — the biggest total in that fund's history.

Operations in Israel2013—State of Israel (taxes, employment, tech ecosystem)
Israeli company: Riskified, an e-commerce fraud-prevention and chargeback-guarantee platform, was founded in Tel Aviv in 2013 by Eido Gal (CEO) and Assaf Feldman (CTO) and is headquartered in Tel Aviv. It listed on the NYSE in July 2021 at a $3.3 billion valuation, pricing its IPO at $21 a share and raising about $390 million net. The majority of its workforce remains based in Israel (about 60% as of the mid-2020s, down from roughly 70% at the end of 2022 as it expanded a Lisbon R&D site).
Donation2022-02$1,798,000Tmura — The Israeli Public Service Venture Fund; proceeds to MEET, Tech Career and Chinuch LePsagot (Educating for Excellence)
Riskified donated stock options to Tmura, the Israeli Public Service Venture Fund, when the company was founded; Tmura converted them into shares at the July 2021 NYSE IPO and sells them gradually, passing the proceeds to Israeli nonprofits. Globes reported on 23 February 2022 that Tmura would cash the shares in for about $2.5 million — then a record for the fund, above the $1.6 million from Waze — and that Riskified employees chose which of three Israeli nonprofits would receive the money: MEET (Middle East Entrepreneurs of Tomorrow), Tech Career, and Chinuch LePsagot (Educating for Excellence). What has actually been realised is smaller: Tmura's own donor table, reported by Geektime on 9 March 2026, puts Riskified first in the fund's history at $1,798,000, ahead of Waze's $1,680,000, and Tmura still holds Riskified shares that it sells from time to time, so the total may yet rise. Tmura also lists Riskified as a "Communicorn" — a donor company whose option donation came to $1,000,000 or more. The donated equity is the corporation's own; the employees only chose the recipient.
Donation2023—Israeli war-relief organizations, including Natal
After October 7, 2023, Riskified — through its Riskified Cares CSR program — donated to and matched employee donations to war-relief organizations, naming Natal, the Israeli trauma and resiliency center supporting victims of terror and war. Corporate donation plus employee-donation matching; no amounts were disclosed in the company's own report.

In-kind support2023—IDF soldiers, evacuees and war-affected Israeli communities
Riskified organized war-relief volunteering for its employees during the Israel-Hamas war: cooking and packaging warm meals for soldiers, preparing and serving breakfast to evacuees from Kibbutz Kfar Aza, building furniture for evacuees with Molet, restoring public shelters, calling isolated elderly Israelis, and packing medical supplies via New York's Afya Foundation. The company says it also prioritized the physical and mental-health needs of its Israel-based employees during the war. Company-organized employee volunteering and in-kind support, per Riskified's own CSR report (January 2024); across 2023 employees volunteered 1,500+ hours through 55 events.
