Guardio raises $40M at $1.1B valuation, adds Wiz's Rappaport as investor
Consumer cybersecurity startup Guardio deliberately kept its new round small, saying it does not need the cash to keep operating.
What to know
- Guardio raised $40M at a $1.1B valuation, bringing total funding since 2018 to $167M
- The round came less than 10 months after an $80M raise, but CEO Amos Peled says it was deliberately kept small to limit dilution
- Guardio reports >$150M ARR, over 1 million paying customers, and >100% annual revenue growth for four straight years — self-reported and not independently audited
- Wiz co-founder and CEO Assaf Rappaport joined existing investors ION Crossover Partners, Union Tech Ventures, Vintage Investment Partners, Cerca Partners and Emerge Ventures
“Guardio has proven once again, and now at scale, that its DNA brings together three core elements that rarely coexist in one company: deep cybersecurity expertise, a consumer-first product mindset, and a best-in-class distribution machine.”
