At just four years old, Wiz has shattered growth records, announcing it raised $1 billion at a $12 billion valuation—bringing the company’s total funding to $1.9 billion. In a round led by global investors Andreessen Horowitz, Lightspeed Venture Partners, and Thrive Capital, the company aims to expand and enhance its platform offerings while preparing for an eventual IPO.

The cloud security leader plans to use this funding to drive future M&A efforts, recruit top talent, and accelerate product development.

The fundraising was extensively covered by business and tech publications worldwide, resulting in over 200 articles that reached more than a billion readers. These articles included interviews with the company’s executive team, who discussed Wiz’s long-term vision and growth objectives.
