| Date | Stage | Investors | Raised | Valuation | Deal Summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jun 2024 | Series D | Kleiner Perkins (lead); Meritech Capital Partners (lead); Sapphire Ventures (lead) | $150M | $1.5B | Huntress, a Maryland-based cybersecurity company founded in 2015, specializes in managed detection and response (MDR) services including endpoint detection and response, identity threat detection, security awareness training, and SIEM, targeting small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs), small enterprises, and the managed service providers (MSPs) that support them. The platform is backed by a 24/7 expert Security Operations Center (SOC), differentiating it from software-only solutions by providing human-led threat hunting typically reserved for enterprises. On June 18, 2024, Huntress closed a $150 million Series D funding round led by Kleiner Perkins, Meritech Capital Partners, and existing investor Sapphire Ventures. The round more than doubles the company's previous valuation to beyond $1.5 billion, marking Huntress as a cybersecurity unicorn. Proceeds will fund R&D in endpoint, identity, cloud, and SaaS security, as well as strategic acquisitions to expand product offerings and strengthen go-to-market efforts for underserved SMB and MSP markets. Huntress demonstrated strong traction leading into the round, reporting over 70% year-over-year revenue growth for the prior two years and approaching $100 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR), with projections to exceed that by year-end 2024. The company protects nearly 3.5 million endpoints and identities, and has been ranked as the G2 leader in endpoint detection and response for eight consecutive seasons and in managed detection and response. This funding is positioned as potentially Huntress' last before an IPO, amid a competitive cybersecurity landscape where SMBs remain underserved compared to Fortune 500 targets. Investors like Sapphire Ventures highlighted Huntress as an outlier serving the global economic backbone of SMBs. |
| May 2023 | Series C | Sapphire Ventures (lead); Forgepoint Capital; JMI Equity | $60M | - | Huntress, a managed security platform for small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs), announced a $60 million Series C funding round on May 16, 2023, led by Sapphire Ventures with participation from existing investors Forgepoint Capital and JMI Equity. This brought total equity funding to $118 million. Sapphire Partner Casber Wang joined the board, and Operating Partner Mahau Ma became a board observer. The funds aim to expand Huntress’ suite of solutions amid a complex cybersecurity landscape targeting SMBs, which number 32 million in the US alone. Huntress focuses on providing cutting-edge cybersecurity to underserved SMBs, enabling them to operate free from threats. CEO Kyle Hanslovan emphasized the mission to democratize access to enterprise-grade tools. The company had around 4,000 partners and 100,000 customers at the time, with recent expansions targeting firms up to 2,000 employees and new product offerings for credentials and logins. It also raised a $40 million debt round in September 2022 for acquisitions, including security awareness startup Curricula in July 2022, and plans international growth. Huntress aims for public readiness, leveraging Sapphire's experience with IPOs like Box and DocuSign. Subsequent developments include a $150 million Series D in June 2024 led by Kleiner Perkins and Meritech Capital with Sapphire, achieving over $1.5 billion valuation and unicorn status, with total funding reaching $268 million and 70% year-over-year revenue growth approaching $100 million ARR at that time. |
| May 2021 | Series B | JMI Equity (lead); Forgepoint Capital; Gula Tech Adventures | $40M | - | Huntress is a managed detection and response (MDR) platform with human-powered threat hunting that serves small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) through managed service providers (MSPs) and value-added resellers (VARs). The company positions itself as the cybersecurity vendor for the 99%, targeting underserved SMBs with comprehensive threat detection, ransomware detection, port scanning, and antivirus management capabilities. In May 2021, Huntress announced a $40 million Series B investment round led by JMI Equity, with participation from existing investors ForgePoint Capital and Gula Tech Adventures. The funding came approximately 10 months after the launch of the expanded Huntress Security Platform and enabled the company to triple the size of its product and engineering groups, expand go-to-market efforts, pursue acquisitions (including Level Effect), and launch new security education campaigns. At the time of the Series B, Huntress had raised $59.8 million cumulatively across four funding rounds and secured 1.2 million endpoints across more than 68,000 businesses served via over 3,000 service providers. |
| Feb 2020 | Series A | Forgepoint Capital (lead) | $18M | - | Huntress, a SaaS-based managed detection and response (MDR) provider, secured an $18 million Series A investment round on February 18, 2020, led by ForgePoint Capital. The funding enabled Huntress to accelerate product engineering and development, expand to additional market segments and geographies, and remain committed to channel partners including managed service providers (MSPs) and value-added resellers (VARs). At the time, Huntress protected nearly half a million endpoints, focusing on cloud-delivered technology for simple agent deployment to address security needs of SMBs. Huntress pioneered cost-friendly threat detection for overlooked footholds indicative of malicious activity on customer endpoints, providing expert analysis and actionable insights. |
