Background

WalkMe is not a foreign brand accused of taking sides — it is an Israeli company, founded in Tel Aviv in 2011 and incorporated under Israeli law, whose digital adoption platform is used by large enterprises worldwide. That fact alone is why it turns up on consumer boycott directories, which list it simply as 'an Israeli company' with no allegation of a specific donation or contract. For the war that began on 7 October 2023 the record has two parts. Part of it concerns WalkMe's own customers and staff: the CEO's public message to customers two days after the attack, published on WalkMe's own blog; roughly a tenth of the Israeli workforce called to reserve duty; temporary housing, mental-health support and volunteering time for staff; and, in the HR chief's words, donations made and collected globally to equip WalkMe employees serving in the army, plus employee-organised giving of money and supplies to victims. The rest reached beyond them: an operations room set up by WalkMe's employees met dozens of requests from Israeli army battalions with tactical equipment, food and hygiene goods, and built a network to deliver them; WalkMe's own Tel Aviv headquarters at 1 Walter Moses Street was open to the public every day from 10:00 to 14:00 as a collection point for goods for soldiers; the company collected goods at several points around the country; and it arranged breakfast for a battalion in northern Israel. Israel Hayom adds that WalkMe itself and, separately, founder-CEO Dan Adika personally provided donations and funding. No figure was ever disclosed for any of this, and no gift to the Israeli government, to the military as an institution or to a named charity was found in news, SEC filings, US nonprofit records or federal campaign-finance data. Since 12 September 2024 WalkMe has been a wholly owned subsidiary of the German software group SAP, bought for about $1.5 billion; everything above happened while it was independent, and SAP's own Israel-related record — including its post-October-7 donation to Magen David Adom and its wartime grants to Israeli employees — belongs on SAP's page, not this one.

Documented support

TypeDateAmountRecipientSources
Operations in Israel2011-10—State of Israel (Tel Aviv headquarters, Israeli employment and corporate registration)
WalkMe is an Israeli company in the fullest legal sense. Its own SEC annual report states that it was founded in October 2011 under the name Make Tutorial Ltd., changed its legal name to WalkMe Ltd. in March 2012, and is 'a company limited by shares organized under and subject to the laws of the State of Israel,' registered with the Israeli Registrar of Companies under number 51-4682269, with principal executive offices at 1 Walter Moses St., Tel Aviv. Its co-founders include chief executive Dan Adika and president Rephael (Rafael) Sweary. The Tel Aviv headquarters occupies about 40,000 square feet; the company also holds a US headquarters in San Francisco of similar size and leased offices in Raleigh, London, Paris, Tokyo, Sydney and Singapore. WalkMe reported approximately 1,000 full-time employees as of 31 December 2023, and its VP of HR said in October 2023 that around 35% of them were based in Israel. Attribution note: this is ordinary Israeli business activity — incorporation, headquarters, employment and taxes — and is not a donation to any cause.
Acquisition2017-01-12—Israeli startups Abbi, Jaco and DeepUI, and their founders (the sellers)
Between January 2017 and June 2018 WalkMe bought three Israeli startups outright and moved their teams into its own offices, as reported at the time by the Israeli technology outlet Geektime. On 12 January 2017 it acquired Abbi, founded in Israel in 2015 by Maor Azer and Kobi Stok, which had raised less than $1 million; Geektime put the price at “a few single-digit millions” and reported that Abbi's three founders moved to WalkMe's Tel Aviv offices. On 4 April 2017 it acquired Jaco, founded in Israel in 2015 by Ran Klein, Itay Adler and Danny Friedland, which had raised $1.5 million from Hillsven and UpWest Labs; Geektime again estimated the price at a few single-digit million dollars, mostly paid in shares, and reported that Jaco's team joined WalkMe's San Francisco and Tel Aviv offices to lead analytics. On 20 June 2018 it acquired DeepUI, an Israeli company made public for the first time on the day of the deal and whose team also joined WalkMe; WalkMe president and co-founder Rephael Sweary and DeepUI co-founder Dr Ron Zohar were both quoted, and Geektime recorded the deal as WalkMe's third acquisition since its founding in 2011, after Abbi and Jaco. Attribution note: these are WalkMe's own purchases of other privately held Israeli companies — ordinary commercial activity inside the Israeli technology economy, not a donation, aid, or any payment to an Israeli cause, charity or institution. No purchase price was ever disclosed for any of the three deals; the figures above are the reporting outlet's estimates and the startups' own earlier fundraising, so no amount is recorded for this row.
Operations in Israel2021-06-16—Israeli technology sector (Nasdaq listing of a Tel Aviv-headquartered company)
WalkMe listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol WKME on 16 June 2021, pricing 9.25 million shares at $31 each and raising about $287 million at a valuation of roughly $2.5 billion — part of a record run of Israeli offerings on Wall Street that month. The company filed with the SEC as an Israeli foreign private issuer and kept its incorporation, headquarters and largest single concentration of staff in Tel Aviv for the whole of its listed life. Attribution note: an IPO raises capital for the company from investors; it is not a payment or donation by WalkMe to Israel.
Public statement2023-10-09—Not applicable — public message by co-founder and CEO Dan Adika, published on WalkMe's corporate blog
Two days after the 7 October 2023 attack, WalkMe co-founder and CEO Dan Adika sent a message to all customers and published it on the company blog under the title 'WalkMe's unwavering commitment to you' (dated 9 October 2023, updated 19 October 2023). He wrote of the 'recent heart-wrenching atrocities and the immense suffering' and said his heart was 'torn to pieces from the tragic stories coming in every single hour,' while assuring customers that business continuity was 'of paramount importance,' that support was operating 24/7 and that the company's cloud infrastructure sits on US and EMEA servers. He also credited WalkMe staff with 'incredible generosity' in donating to families in need and volunteering. Attribution note: this is a statement by the chief executive speaking for the company, published by the company itself, not a donation.

In-kind support2023-10—WalkMe employees serving in the Israel Defense Forces (equipment); families and victims of the 7 October attack (money and supplies)
In an interview published by Calcalist's CTech on 25 October 2023, WalkMe VP of HR Sharon Bernstein said the company 'donated and collected donations globally to help with equipment for our employees in the army,' and described employees who had not been called up 'creating opportunities for WalkMe and its employees to donate money and supplies to the victims.' Attribution note: the account mixes two distinct things and the company gave no figures — a corporate contribution by WalkMe alongside donations collected from its employees worldwide, aimed at equipping WalkMe's own staff serving as IDF reservists rather than at the Israeli military as an institution. No amount was disclosed, so none is recorded here.
One source
Employee support2023-10—WalkMe employees in Israel, including reservists and evacuees
WalkMe told Calcalist's CTech on 25 October 2023 that roughly 10% of its Israeli headcount was in reserve duty and that further employees had spouses called up. The company opened a Tel Aviv WhatsApp group whose main purpose was to coordinate equipment deliveries to its employees and their friends in the army and to citizens who had lost relatives and homes; helped employees find temporary housing until their own homes were safe; provided all employees with a mental-health service and a contact brochure; had HR check in with employees and their spouses; set up a memory corner in the office; allowed foreign-passport employees who asked to work from abroad; and re-prioritised less urgent projects so staff could volunteer. Attribution note: these are workplace measures for WalkMe's own staff, not donations to an outside organisation.
One source
In-kind support2023-10—Israeli soldiers and the army battalions that requested equipment; goods collected from the public and from employees at WalkMe's Tel Aviv offices
WalkMe's own Tel Aviv headquarters served as a public collection point for goods for Israeli soldiers. The city guide Time Out Tel Aviv listed it on 11 October 2023 under the heading 'WalkMe opens its offices for donations': the offices at 1 Walter Moses Street took donations every day between 10:00 and 14:00, and the published list of what was wanted ran from toiletries (shampoo, toothbrush and toothpaste, bar soap, razors, sunscreen) and toilet paper through dry and tinned food (tuna, corn, bread, crackers, energy bars, nuts, dried fruit) to clothing, head torches with batteries, sleeping bags, power banks, gas canisters, blankets, mattresses and lighting. Israel Hayom, in an article first published on 8 October 2023 and updated as further companies were added, reported that WalkMe's employees had set up an operations room to run a donations system; that since the outbreak of the war they had met dozens of requests from army battalions, either by buying essential tactical equipment or with food and hygiene products, and had built a network to move that equipment to the battalions; that the company was collecting donations of essential goods at several points around the country; and that it had that morning arranged breakfast for a battalion of soldiers in northern Israel. The WalkMe passage was already present in the archived capture of 9 October 2023. Attribution note: the drive was run by WalkMe's employees using the company's own premises, and the Time Out entry is an invitation to the public to bring goods in, so an unknown share of what was collected came from members of the public rather than from the company. The goods went to individual army units that asked for them, not to the Israeli military as an institution, and no value was ever put on them, so no amount is recorded. The photograph in the Israel Hayom item is credited to WalkMe, so that account rests on material the company supplied.
Donation2023-10—Not named by the source: the employee-run donations operation that supplied Israeli army battalions
Israel Hayom's October 2023 account of the same donations operation says WalkMe's employees mobilised significant monetary donations, and that this came in addition to 'donations and funding provided by the WalkMe company itself and the company's founder and CEO Dan Adika'. The same passage says a considerable number of employees opened their homes to host families from the south. Attribution note: that one sentence names three separate actors and keeps them apart — the corporation, its employees giving their own money, and Adika in a personal capacity — and a chief executive's personal gift is not the company's. No figure was disclosed for any of the three, so no amount is recorded, and the report names no recipient organisation: the passage places the money in its account of the employee-run donations operation that supplied army battalions. The item's photograph is credited to WalkMe, so this is the company's own account carried by the newspaper, and no independent record of the corporate donation was found.

Acquisition2024-09-12$1,500,000,000SAP SE (buyer) — WalkMe Ltd. shareholders (sellers)
WalkMe ceased to be an independent Israeli public company when SAP SE bought it. WalkMe entered into the merger agreement with SAP and its Israeli subsidiary Hummingbird Acquisition Corp Ltd. on 4 June 2024, and the merger was consummated under the Israeli Companies Law on 12 September 2024, each ordinary share converting into the right to receive $14.00 in cash — an equity value of about $1.5 billion and roughly a 45% premium to the 4 June closing price. Nasdaq trading was suspended the same day and WalkMe deregistered from the SEC shortly afterwards. Attribution note: WalkMe is now a wholly owned SAP subsidiary that still operates from Tel Aviv; every decision recorded above predates the deal and was that of an independent Israeli company, not of SAP. SAP's own Israel record is documented separately on its page.
