Cloud security startup Upwind has raised $100 million in Series A funding, tripling its valuation to an impressive $900 million. The Israeli company, founded in late 2022 by former Spot.io executives Amiram Shachar, Liran Polak, Lavi Ferdman, and Tal Zuri, continues its rapid ascent in the cybersecurity sector.
The funding round, led by Craft Ventures and supported by TCV, Alta Park Capital, Greylock, Cyberstarts, and others, brings Upwind’s total fundraising to $180 million. High-profile participants include Sheva, co-founded by ex-NBA player Omri Casspi.
Upwind plans to double its workforce to 300 employees and expand its offices across Israel, San Francisco, the UK, and Iceland. Its cloud-native security platform, categorized as a CNAPP (Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform) by Gartner, integrates tools for vulnerability management, CSPM, CWPP, and more. This consolidated approach enables organizations to prioritize real risks over less critical threats, streamlining cloud security management.
The company’s accelerated growth reflects the increasing demand for robust and integrated cloud security solutions, a trend reshaping the cybersecurity landscape.
