Company Background Information
Overview
Upwind is a San Francisco-based cloud security startup. It raised $400 million in a Series C led by Bessemer Venture Partners, with existing investors including Greylock Partners and Craft Ventures, at a $3.8 billion valuation. The company chose to stay independent after Datadog approached it, because Datadog did not offer a premium over that valuation, according to a source cited by TechCrunch. Its stated mission is to secure cloud and AI for the world. Upwind calls its approach "runtime" security, meaning it detects and remediates attacks and vulnerabilities in active services in real time. It was founded in 2022 by Amiram Shachar, and its customers include Roku and Nubank.
