Overview
Upwind is an Israeli cloud-security company founded by serial entrepreneur Amiram Shachar. It sells automated cloud security that filters noise and prioritizes actionable risks. In September 2026 Bessemer Venture Partners and TCV led a roughly $300 million Series C at about $3.8 billion valuation, following a $250 million Series B earlier in 2026. Press reporting links demand to the competitive vacuum after Google’s acquisition of Wiz.
Why Upwind is interesting
September 2026 ~$300M Series C at ~$3.8B led by Bessemer and TCV — more than doubling January’s ~$1.5B mark — as buyers seek independent CNAPP options after Google–Wiz.
