Our take
Originally founded in Israel – a hotbed for rapid growth cybersecurity companies of late – Wiz hit the headlines when it became the world’s fastest growing software company in Summer 2022. Incredibly, the company clocked up $180 million in annual recurring revenue in under two years since launching its first product, boasting major customers like Salesforce, Slack, BMW, and Asos.
It’s impressive enough that the startup was able to attract hundreds of millions in investment so early in its lifespan, but the fact that it was co-founded by a team of former Microsoft executives no doubt helped on this front. However, to generate this kind of revenue so soon is extremely rare.
The company has fueled its growth with aggressive hiring and product expansion, adding modules for Container and Kubernetes security, DSPM, and CDR - enabling organizations to further consolidate their cloud security program into a single, fully comprehensive platform.
Following its early 2023 Series D funding round, the company has reached a $10 billion valuation, officially making it the world's largest cybersecurity unicorn and it is the fastest SaaS company to achieve such a valuation.
