Netlify ECONOMIC

Target: Netlify, Inc. Evidence reviewed: Public corporate disclosures, Israeli company information, investment announcements, governance biographies, infrastructure documentation and United Nations settlement-database material. Research date: 23 October 2026.

Supply Chain & Sourcing Relationships

Direct suppliers and agricultural sourcing

Netlify describes its business as a platform for developing, deploying and operating websites and web applications; its published infrastructure disclosures identify technology suppliers rather than an agricultural procurement operation.^{1, 2}

No public evidence identified of direct agricultural procurement from Mehadrin, Hadiklaim, Galilee Export, Agrexco successors or other Israeli agricultural exporters.^{1, 2}

Importer-of-record structure

No public evidence identified of an Israeli agricultural importer-of-record subsidiary, joint venture, dedicated import entity or customs-import arrangement operated by Netlify.^{3, 2}

Seasonal sourcing

No public evidence identified of recurring December–April produce procurement, seasonal Israeli sourcing arrangements or agricultural import schedules.^{1, 2}

Third-party and indirect sourcing

Netlify’s publicly disclosed infrastructure suppliers include Amazon Web Services and other technology providers used to deliver its software services.²

No public evidence identified that agricultural or settlement-origin goods enter a Netlify supply chain through distributors, resellers or private-label arrangements.^{1, 2}

Technology suppliers and intermediaries

Netlify’s Trust Center identifies AWS as a supplier of hosting, compute, storage, networking and managed infrastructure services.²

The disclosed subprocessor relationships do not identify an Israeli military contractor or settlement-based procurement arrangement attributable to Netlify.²

No public evidence identified of a named Israeli reseller, integrator or distributor holding a verified Netlify contract involving the Israeli military or settlements.^{2, 4}

Product Origin, Labeling & Regulatory Compliance

Settlement-origin products

Netlify supplies digital development and hosting services, while its published business description does not identify an agricultural, food-retail or consumer-goods import operation.¹

No public evidence identified of physical Netlify products originating from Israeli settlements, the Jordan Valley, occupied East Jerusalem or the occupied Golan Heights.^{1, 3}

Origin-labeling compliance

No public evidence identified of a Netlify country-of-origin labeling violation, customs enforcement proceeding, DEFRA citation or settlement-produce mislabeling case.^{5, 3}

Corporate sourcing and labeling policy

Netlify publishes website-use conditions, subscription terms, privacy disclosures and a Trust Center covering its digital operations.^{5, 3, 2}

No public evidence identified of a dedicated Netlify policy on labeling products from Israeli settlements or sourcing physical goods from occupied territories.^{5, 3}

Digital-service restrictions

Netlify’s published documentation allows customers to configure geographic firewall rules for website traffic, including country-level and supported subregional restrictions.⁴

In February 2024, a Netlify support representative stated that the company could not provide platform access to individuals or entities resident in countries subject to applicable US OFAC sanctions, responding specifically to a user in Iran.⁶

No public evidence identified of a comparable company-wide geographical restriction specifically addressing commercial activity in Israeli settlements.^{5, 4}

Investment, Capital & Financial Exposure

Foreign direct investment and acquired Israeli businesses

On 29 June 2023, Netlify announced its acquisition of Stackbit, a visual-editing software company whose technology enabled users to edit enterprise websites and applications through a browser.^{7, 8}

Startupim identifies Stackbit as a company founded in 2019 by Ohad Eder-Pressman and Simon Hanukaev, with historical operations in Tel Aviv, Israel.⁹

Israeli corporate-information records identify Stackbit Ltd. under company registration number 516051745, registered on 7 July 2019 at 7 HaPelech Street, Tel Aviv-Yafo.^{10, 11}

Startupim reports historical funding of approximately $14.4 million for Stackbit and lists a headcount of three; the headcount is a third-party company-profile figure and does not establish the precise workforce immediately before acquisition.⁹

Netlify’s acquisition announcement did not disclose the acquisition consideration, while later company-profile information also identifies the transaction value as undisclosed.^{7, 12}

Startupim describes Stackbit as inactive following acquisition; a company-status record updated in July 2026 identifies the Israeli corporation as voluntarily dissolved.^{9, 12}

Netlify’s 2026 privacy statement nevertheless continues to identify Stackbit, Inc. among its corporate affiliates, establishing a disclosed connection to the acquired US entity.³

The reviewed records therefore document the acquisition of an Israeli-origin operating business and an Israeli-registered legal entity, but do not establish that the Israeli corporation remains operational in October 2026.^{3, 9, 12}

No public evidence identified of Stackbit manufacturing physical goods in Israel, operating defence production facilities or maintaining settlement infrastructure.^{7, 9}

No public evidence identified of a disclosed current Israeli subsidiary workforce, Israeli subsidiary revenue, post-acquisition Israeli capital expenditure or Israeli defence contract attributable to Stackbit.^{3, 9, 12}

Other acquisitions

Netlify announced the acquisition of FeaturePeek on 19 May 2021, identifying Eric Silverman and Jason Barry as its founders.¹³

Netlify announced the acquisition of OneGraph on 17 November 2021, identifying Sean Grove and Daniel Woelfel as founders joining its API development activities.¹⁴

Netlify announced the acquisition of Quirrel on 1 February 2022, identifying Simon Knott as the founder joining its serverless-function development activities.¹⁵

Netlify announced the acquisition of Gatsby, Inc. on 1 February 2023, including the company’s website-development framework and content-platform technology.¹⁶

No public evidence identified of a second independently verified Israeli-incorporated operating-company acquisition among these named transactions.^{13, 14, 16, 15}

Research and development

The 2023 Stackbit acquisition transferred an established visual-editing technology business into Netlify’s product portfolio.^{7, 8}

No public evidence identified establishing that Netlify currently maintains a dedicated Israeli research laboratory, technology accelerator, government-funded innovation centre or registered R&D office.^{3, 9, 2}

Parent company and financing

Netlify identifies itself as a venture-backed software company founded in 2014 and headquartered in San Francisco.¹

On 17 November 2021, Netlify announced a $105 million Series D financing led by Bessemer Venture Partners, with participation from Andreessen Horowitz, BOND, EQT Ventures, Kleiner Perkins, Mango Capital and Menlo Ventures.¹⁷

The same announcement valued Netlify at $2 billion at the time of the financing.¹⁷

Netlify’s corporate website identifies additional investors including Bloomberg Beta, Designer Fund and at.inc/.¹

No current public capitalization table was identified establishing Netlify’s ultimate beneficial owners, verified ownership percentages or the identity of any shareholder holding at least 10% as of October 2026.^{1, 17}

No public evidence identified of Netlify being majority-owned by an Israeli-domiciled parent company.^{1, 3, 17}

Direct portfolio investments

Netlify announced the Jamstack Innovation Fund in November 2021, with a stated objective of investing $10 million in early-stage businesses and supporting open-source projects.¹⁷

On 12 July 2022, Netlify announced initial investments of $100,000 each in ChiselStrike, Clerk, Clutch, Convex, Deno, Everfund, NuxtLabs, Snaplet, TakeShape and Tigris Data.¹⁸

The published initial-investment announcement does not establish that any of these ten recipients was an Israeli-incorporated business.¹⁸

No public evidence identified of disclosed Netlify portfolio holdings in Israeli sovereign bonds, Israel-focused exchange-traded funds, Israeli defence manufacturers or companies identified in the OHCHR settlement database.^{17, 18}

Controlling principals and personal investments

Ohad Eder-Pressman’s personal biography states that he participated in Netlify’s early financing and served on its board during the company’s growth.¹⁹

Netlify’s November 2021 financing announcement states that Eder-Pressman moved into a board-observer role while Elena Verna joined the board.¹⁷

Eder-Pressman’s biography identifies investments in companies including Riverside, Sanity, Guardio, Chromatic, Domestika, Bottomless and IFTTT, in addition to Netlify.¹⁹

The reviewed biography does not disclose the sizes of these investments, the ownership vehicles or their precise beneficial-ownership percentages.¹⁹

Mary D’Onofrio’s professional biography identifies investment involvement with Forter and Auth0, alongside other technology companies.²⁰

A Kauffman Fellows profile identifies D’Onofrio as a Netlify board member or observer in its historical professional description.²¹

These records establish individual professional investment associations, but no public evidence identified that the named investments were financed by Netlify itself or held on Netlify’s balance sheet.^{19, 20, 21}

Financial-sector activities

Netlify’s disclosed business activities concern software and web infrastructure rather than banking, securities underwriting or insurance.^{1, 17}

No public evidence identified of Netlify underwriting Israeli sovereign bonds, distributing Israel Bonds, insuring Israeli state operations or providing direct lending to Israeli defence enterprises or settlement businesses.^{1, 17, 18}

Operational Presence & Market Activity

Physical footprint

Netlify states that its headquarters are in San Francisco and describes its workforce as globally distributed.¹

Its March 2026 website terms identify the company as Netlify, Inc., located at 101 2nd Street, San Francisco, California 94105.⁵

Historical Israeli company information places Stackbit Ltd. at 7 HaPelech Street, Tel Aviv-Yafo, with incorporation dated 7 July 2019.¹⁰

A July 2026 corporate-information record identifies Stackbit Ltd. as closed following acquisition, leaving the historical Tel Aviv address insufficient to establish a currently operational Netlify office.¹²

No public evidence identified of a currently registered Netlify-owned Israeli office, sales branch, data centre, warehouse or retail establishment.^{1, 3, 12}

No public evidence identified of a Netlify-owned physical facility inside an Israeli settlement.^{1, 3, 12}

Employment

Startupim lists three people in its Stackbit company profile; this third-party headcount does not establish the company’s precise workforce immediately before acquisition.⁹

A commercial employee directory accessed during October 2026 lists three Netlify personnel profiles associated with Israel; this is an indicative third-party estimate rather than an audited company workforce disclosure.²²

The directory does not establish whether those profiles represent employees, contractors, historical positions or personnel working through a separate legal employer.²²

No public evidence identified of a verified current Netlify Israeli payroll total, corporate employer-registration number or disclosed Israeli payroll-tax contribution.^{3, 22}

Tax and regulatory registration

Stackbit Ltd. was registered in Israel under company number 516051745.^{10, 11}

No public evidence identified of a separate Israeli tax-residency registration, Preferred Technology Enterprise designation or Israeli Innovation Authority grant held by Netlify, Inc.^{1, 3, 10}

No public evidence identified establishing that Netlify’s principal place of management is located in Israel.^{1, 5}

Market positioning

Netlify characterises itself as a global platform serving developers and enterprises, without identifying Israel as a separate strategic market in its reviewed company description.¹

No public evidence identified of a disclosed Israel-specific revenue target, market-share estimate, market-development budget or regional sales strategy.^{1, 17}

Infrastructure availability

Netlify’s Trust Center identifies multiple technology subprocessors used in delivering services, including infrastructure supplied by Amazon Web Services.²

Its firewall documentation explains that customers can control geographical access to deployed applications through country and subregional traffic rules.⁴

These technical capabilities do not establish the identity, business purpose or geographic location of any particular Israeli customer.^{2, 4}

Government and defence customers

No public evidence identified of a named Netlify contract with the Israel Defense Forces, Israeli Ministry of Defense or an Israeli defence-prime contractor.^{1, 17, 2}

No public evidence identified of an Israeli government procurement award specifying Netlify as the contracted hosting, development or application-deployment supplier.^{1, 2}

Settlement nexus

The September 2026 OHCHR database update concerns business enterprises involved in specified settlement-related activities; the United Nations reported 214 listed enterprises from 11 countries.^{23, 24}

The reviewed OHCHR-derived database information did not identify an attributable Netlify or Stackbit settlement-activity entry.^{25, 24}

No public evidence identified of verified Netlify services specifically contracted to settlement authorities, settlement-based enterprises or settlement infrastructure projects.^{2, 25, 24}

No public evidence identified of Netlify receiving identifiable revenues from properties, commercial establishments or public authorities located in West Bank settlements, occupied East Jerusalem or occupied Golan Heights.^{1, 25, 24}

Netlify’s integration of Stackbit continued after the June 2023 acquisition. On 23 January 2024, a Netlify representative announced the migration of Stackbit users to Netlify authentication, effective 24 January 2024. On 11 June 2024, Netlify announced the full integration of Stackbit’s visual-editing functionality into its platform. These developments establish continued commercial development and integration of the acquired technology, but neither announcement identifies an operational Israeli R&D facility, its location or its workforce.^{26, 27}

In a 19 March 2026 interview published by Stack Overflow, Netlify CTO Dana Lawson described approximately 110 full-time employees, with roughly half working in research and development. She confirmed that engineering teams operated globally and organised themselves across time zones. The interview provides direct management testimony that Netlify maintained distributed R&D operations during 2026, but contains no Israel-specific staffing figures or confirmation of an Israeli R&D establishment.²⁸

October 2026 - no public evidence identified: independent confirmation that Netlify maintained an operational Israeli R&D establishment employing 1–10 people after the reported dissolution of Stackbit Ltd. The reviewed Israeli corporate directory explicitly identifies Stackbit Ltd., registration number 516051745, as inactive. Netlify’s April 2026 affiliate disclosure continues to name Stackbit, Inc., but does not identify Stackbit Ltd. or an Israeli operating entity. Its published recruitment information describes a distributed workforce across more than 14 countries without identifying Israel as an operational location. Accordingly, the directory’s reported 2023 establishment date and R&D classification are historically plausible in light of the Stackbit acquisition, but the precise Israeli headcount and continuing operational status remain independently unverified as of 23 October 2026.^{10, 3, 29}

Netlify’s official careers page confirms that the company operates as a remote-first, globally distributed organisation with personnel across more than 14 countries. Its published recruitment information does not identify Israel as a specific employment location or establish a currently operating Israeli office. The Stackbit company profile still displays Tel Aviv-Yafo as its historical headquarters and reports three employees in September 2026, despite simultaneously identifying the company as inactive and voluntarily dissolved. This apparent inconsistency means the historical office and employee figures cannot establish a current Netlify Israeli workplace or workforce. It reinforces the existing audit’s caution regarding historical corporate addresses and unverified Israeli staffing estimates.^{29, 12}

October 2026 - no public evidence identified: a currently operating Netlify Israeli office, separately registered Israeli R&D establishment, verified Israel-based employee roster, Israeli payroll entity or dated announcement confirming the retention of Stackbit’s Israeli personnel after acquisition. Netlify CTO Dana Lawson’s March 2026 interview confirms approximately 110 employees and a globally distributed engineering organisation, but identifies no Israeli engineering location or staffing figure. The reviewed company disclosures therefore cannot establish whether Netlify retains individual remote employees or contractors residing in Israel. This confirms the existing audit’s conclusion that continuing Israeli R&D activity and the reported small Israeli workforce remain independently unverified.^{29, 28, 3}

Corporate Structure & Foundational Ties

Founding history

Netlify states that Mathias Biilmann and Christian Bach founded the company in 2014.¹

Netlify’s own corporate description identifies San Francisco as its headquarters.¹

No public evidence identified that Netlify, Inc. was founded or originally incorporated in Israel.^{1, 5}

Israeli-origin acquired identity

Stackbit Ltd. was an Israeli-registered technology company founded in 2019, with its historical registered address in Tel Aviv.^{9, 10}

Netlify acquired Stackbit in June 2023 and incorporated its visual-editing technology into its wider software product portfolio.^{7, 8}

Startupim’s July 2026 record identifies the Israeli corporation as voluntarily dissolved, while Netlify’s 2026 privacy statement separately continues to name Stackbit, Inc. as an affiliate.^{3, 12}

The public documents do not disclose the acquisition’s precise share-transfer structure or whether the Israeli corporation was directly acquired by Netlify, Inc. or held through another subsidiary.^{3, 7, 12}

Current disclosed affiliates

Netlify’s 2026 privacy statement names Stackbit, Inc., Gatsby, Inc., Netlify Canada Limited, Netlify EMEA Limited and Netlify UK Limited as affiliates.³

That published list does not identify a currently operating Israeli legal entity among the named affiliates.³

Leadership and governance

Netlify identifies Mathias Biilmann as co-founder and CEO and Christian Bach as co-founder and Chief Strategy and Creative Officer.¹

Netlify’s November 2021 financing announcement identifies Elena Verna as an incoming board member and Ohad Eder-Pressman as moving to an observer role.¹⁷

Eder-Pressman’s personal website confirms his historical involvement with Netlify’s financing and board, as well as his role in founding Stackbit.¹⁹

Mary D’Onofrio’s historical Netlify board involvement is recorded by Kauffman Fellows, while her current professional biography identifies her as a partner at Crosslink Capital.^{20, 21}

No current comprehensive Netlify board register, shareholder voting agreement or beneficial-ownership register was identified in the reviewed public corporate materials.^{1, 3, 17}

Israeli-nexus factual checks

• Founded in Israel: Netlify’s disclosed founding history and San Francisco headquarters do not identify Israel as its place of foundation.¹
• Israeli headquarters or principal management: no public evidence identified; Netlify identifies San Francisco as its headquarters.^{1, 5}
• Israeli tax residency or PTE status: no public evidence identified in the reviewed legal and corporate disclosures.^{5, 3}
• Israeli beneficial ownership or control: Eder-Pressman’s early investment and governance participation are documented, but current beneficial-ownership percentages and control rights remain undisclosed.^{19, 17}
• Acquired Israeli corporate identity: Netlify’s June 2023 acquisition of Stackbit and Stackbit Ltd.’s Israeli registration are documented.^{7, 9, 10}

State and institutional linkages

No public evidence identified of Israeli government equity ownership in Netlify, state-appointed directors, statutory government control rights or designation as Israeli critical national infrastructure.^{1, 3, 17}

No public evidence identified of Israeli state golden shares, charter restrictions or governance provisions requiring Netlify to support Israeli governmental objectives.^{5, 3}

Temporal continuity

Netlify’s acquisition of Stackbit occurred on 29 June 2023, before the ICJ advisory opinion of 19 July 2024 and the ICC arrest warrants issued in November 2024.⁷

Netlify’s 2026 privacy statement continues to name Stackbit, Inc. as an affiliate, documenting continued disclosure of the acquired corporate relationship after both dates.³

The public company-status record identifies the historical Israeli-registered Stackbit Ltd. as closed, so the continued affiliation disclosure does not establish continuing operations by that Israeli corporation.^{3, 12}

No public evidence identified establishing post-19 July 2024 or post-November 2024 Netlify commercial activity specifically linked to Israeli settlements.^{2, 25, 24}

Israeli corporate-status evidence supports the reported voluntary dissolution of Stackbit Ltd. (company number 516051745). Startupim’s company profile, updated 21 July 2026, reproduces the Israeli Companies Registrar status “מחוסלת מרצון” (voluntarily dissolved), explicitly distinguishing it from dissolution through merger. CAP independently identifies the same corporation as inactive. The available records establish its incorporation date of 7 July 2019 but do not disclose the effective dissolution date. Netlify’s acquisition was announced on 29 June 2023; that transaction date cannot be treated as the legal dissolution date. This confirms the audit’s existing statement that Stackbit Ltd. was voluntarily dissolved, while clarifying that neither the exact dissolution date nor the legal mechanism connecting the acquisition to the dissolution has been independently established from an original registrar extract.^{12, 10, 7}

Netlify’s privacy statement, updated 10 April 2026, continues to identify Stackbit, Inc. as a corporate affiliate, alongside Gatsby, Inc., Netlify Canada Limited, Netlify EMEA Limited and Netlify UK Limited. Stackbit Ltd., the Israeli corporation, is absent from that list. This supports the existing audit’s distinction between the continuing US corporate affiliate and the dissolved Israeli legal entity. It does not establish that Stackbit Ltd. merged into Stackbit, Inc. or Netlify, Inc.; no merger certificate, succession document or acquisition-specific corporate restructuring filing was identified in the reviewed disclosures.^{3, 7}

Profit Repatriation & Economic Contribution

Revenue attribution

Netlify operates a global subscription and enterprise software business, with its disclosed corporate materials describing its platform and financing rather than country-by-country revenue.^{1, 17}

No public evidence identified of Netlify’s Israel-attributable annual revenue, operating profit, customer count or market share.^{1, 17}

Acquisition-related capital flows

Netlify’s June 2023 acquisition of Stackbit established a transaction involving an Israeli-origin technology business.^{7, 9}

The published acquisition announcement does not disclose its purchase consideration, payment structure, individual seller proceeds or allocation between US and Israeli entities.⁷

No public evidence identified establishing the amount of acquisition proceeds ultimately received by Israeli-resident shareholders, employees or legal entities.^{7, 9}

Profit repatriation

Netlify identifies itself as a US-headquartered company, and its 2026 affiliate disclosure identifies corporate entities in several jurisdictions.^{1, 3}

No public evidence identified of quantified dividend payments, royalties, management fees or intercompany profit transfers between Netlify and an Israeli legal entity.^{3, 12}

No public evidence identified establishing that Netlify’s global profits are repatriated to Israeli-domiciled controlling shareholders or an Israeli parent company.^{1, 3, 17}

Employment and taxation

Stackbit Ltd.’s Israeli registration and historical Tel Aviv presence document an Israeli corporate establishment before its reported closure.^{9, 10, 12}

No public evidence identified of verified Israeli corporation-tax payments, employer contributions, VAT remittances or payroll expenditures attributable to Netlify after the acquisition.^{3, 12, 22}

Investment ecosystem

In July 2022, Netlify publicly identified ten recipients of its Jamstack Innovation Fund, announcing a $100,000 investment in each.¹⁸

The disclosed initial recipients do not establish a specific Israeli national investment programme or a quantified commitment to Israeli-domiciled companies.¹⁸

Economic ecosystem role

Startupim identifies Stackbit as an Israeli-origin technology company engaged in developing visual website-editing software and records its acquisition by Netlify.⁹

No public evidence identified of an Israeli government designation characterising Netlify as a strategic domestic employer, nationally significant infrastructure provider or major Israeli technology-sector anchor.^{1, 9, 12}

No public evidence identified of a quantified Netlify contribution to Israeli GDP, national exports, tax receipts or settlement economic activity.^{1, 9, 17}
