"Upwind offers a runtime-native cloud security platform that provides organizations with increased visibility into networks, APIs, and data flows. According to Upwind, amid a massive surge in agentic workflows, its solution can reduce noise and prioritize real risk, without impacting business speed. The new investment allows the startup to accelerate product and go-to-market initiatives, scaling its runtime-first cloud security platform across data, AI and code."
"It will continue to advance the core AI security capabilities of the platform, while expanding the runtime-first approach to help developers eliminate misconfigurations before production. Since its Series A funding round in December 2024, Upwind has doubled its workforce and deepened its presence across the US, UK, and Israel, while expanding to Australia, India, Singapore and Japan. Headquartered in San Francisco, California, Upwind was founded in 2022 by Amiram Shachar, who previously founded Spot.io, a company acquired by NetApp for $450 million."
Upwind raised $250 million in a Series B round, bringing total funding to $430 million and valuing the company at $1.5 billion. The round was led by Bessemer Venture Partners with participation from Salesforce Ventures, Picture Capital, and other existing backers. The company provides a runtime-native cloud security platform that increases visibility into networks, APIs, and data flows and prioritizes real risk amid rising agentic workflows without slowing business. The funding will accelerate product and go-to-market efforts, expand AI security capabilities, and broaden the runtime-first approach to prevent misconfigurations before production.
