About Wiz

Wiz grew rapidly to become one of the fastest-growing enterprise software companies on record, reaching $100 million in ARR within 18 months of launch. In 2025, Google announced its acquisition of Wiz for approximately $32 billion, marking one of the largest cybersecurity acquisitions in history.

The round was co-led by Andreessen Horowitz, Lightspeed Venture Partners, and Thrive Capital, with participation from Greylock, Wellington Management, Cyberstarts, Greenoaks, Howard Schultz, Index Ventures, Salesforce Ventures, and Sequoia Capital. This brought total funding to $1.9 billion. The funding supports acquisitions like Gem Security and Raftt, product expansion in cloud security posture management, and preparation for an eventual IPO once reaching $1 billion ARR. Wiz was generating over $350 million in annual recurring revenue at the time. This round followed a $300 million Series D in February 2023 at $10 billion valuation, positioning Wiz as a leading cybersecurity unicorn amid growing demand for cloud and AI security solutions.

The company serves over 35% of Fortune 100 customers including BMW, Morgan Stanley, Salesforce, Slack, Colgate, and Blackstone, positioning it as a leader in the shift from fragmented point solutions to unified cloud security offerings. On February 27, 2023, Wiz raised $300 million in a Series D funding round at a $10 billion post-money valuation, co-led by Lightspeed Venture Partners, Greenoaks Capital Partners, and Index Ventures. Participation came from existing investors like Sequoia Capital, Insight Partners, Blackstone, G Squared, Cyberstarts, as well as prominent individuals including Bernard Arnault and Howard Schultz. This brought total funding to approximately $900 million since inception. The proceeds were earmarked for accelerating global operations, hiring beyond its existing 650 employees, opening new U.S. offices in Austin, Dallas, and Washington, DC, and advancing product innovation to meet surging demand in cloud security. Wiz claimed the title of the world's largest cybersecurity unicorn and the fastest SaaS company to reach $10 billion valuation just three years after founding, validated by G2 awarding it Best Security Product for 2023. This round preceded a larger Series E in May 2024, where Wiz raised $1 billion at $12 billion valuation, achieving $350M ARR in 2023, but specific revenue metrics were not disclosed contemporaneous to the February 2023 financing.

The funding supported rapid product development in workload security, posture management, data security, and entitlements management, positioning Wiz as a unified cloud-native platform amid enterprises seeking to consolidate security tools post-2021 software spending cuts. This early capital infusion enabled Wiz's hypergrowth trajectory, leveraging the founders' expertise to address multi-cloud security gaps. By August 2022, just 18 months after launch, Wiz achieved $100 million in ARR, claiming the record for the fastest software company to reach that milestone. Growth accelerated with $200 million ARR by May 2023 and $350 million by February 2024, surpassing $500 million by mid-2024 while targeting $1 billion ARR ahead of a planned IPO. Wiz expanded integrations, including over 240 by early 2026, and opened offices like London to capitalize on global cloud security spend exceeding $30 billion annually. Later rounds included $1 billion raised in May 2024 at $12 billion valuation led by Andreessen Horowitz, Lightspeed, and Thrive Capital, implying a 24x revenue multiple on $500 million ARR, and turning down Google's $23 billion acquisition offer in July 2024 when ARR was around $500 million. Wiz hired key executives like former Zscaler COO Dali Rajic in February 2024 to steer toward IPO goals, competing against incumbents like Palo Alto Networks ($8 billion ARR) and CrowdStrike ($2.6 billion ARR) with higher growth rates and larger average contract values.
