Upwind, a San Francisco cloud security startup, announced a $400 million Series C at a $3.8 billion valuation, led by Bessemer Venture Partners (securityweek.com, techcrunch.com). The round came about nine months after a previous financing at a $1.5 billion valuation, which TechCrunch puts at $250 million (techcrunch.com). SecurityWeek says total funding now exceeds $800 million (securityweek.com). The round followed reports from The Information that Datadog had offered nearly $4 billion for the company (securityweek.com). Accounts of what Datadog actually offered conflict, and the details rest on anonymous sources. This is business and funding news with no direct threat or vulnerability content.

Detalhes técnicos

  • Upwind sells a runtime-native cloud security platform with visibility into networks, APIs and data flows (securityweek.com).
  • It focuses on "runtime" security: alerting on and remediating attacks and vulnerabilities in live cloud services (techcrunch.com).
  • Customers cited include Siemens, Roku and Nubank (securityweek.com).
  • The company reportedly adds $20-30 million in ARR per quarter and is projected to reach roughly $90 million ARR by year end, per an unnamed source (techcrunch.com).

Relatos divergentes

  • Datadog offer: The Information reported an offer of nearly $4 billion. Israeli outlet CTech questioned this, citing information that Datadog made no such offer (securityweek.com). TechCrunch, citing an unnamed source, says Datadog tried to acquire Upwind but offered no premium over the $3.8 billion venture valuation, so Upwind stayed independent (techcrunch.com). TechCrunch is the most recent source, but its claim is unconfirmed. It had requested comment from Upwind and Datadog.
  • Investors: SecurityWeek lists Canapi Ventures and existing investors TCV, Greylock Partners and Salesforce Ventures (securityweek.com). TechCrunch names Greylock Partners and Craft Ventures (techcrunch.com). The lists differ and neither source claims to be complete.
