Jon Medved, CEO of Jerusalem-based crowdfunding platform OurCrowd that more than doubled its investments in the past year to $200 million, expects Israel to see more "startup unicorns"and larger exits as its entrepreneurs form their second and third companies.

Israel has already seen several exits of more than a billion dollars, including Mobileye NV, the Jerusalem-based maker of software for driverless cars that closed at a valuation of $6.5 billion in New York on Friday.
