About

Upwind is a San Francisco-based cloud-native application protection platform (CNAPP) — backed with $180 million in total funding including a $100 million Series A extension in December 2024 led by Craft Ventures with TCV and Alta Park Capital at a $900 million valuation, following an $80 million seed round — providing enterprise security teams with runtime-powered cloud security that combines cloud security posture management (CSPM), workload protection, vulnerability management, identity security, and container security by correlating live workload runtime activity with configuration and vulnerability context to eliminate the false positive noise that plagues legacy cloud security tools. Serving 200+ enterprise customers including Peloton, Bill, Fiverr, and Agoda with 4,000% year-over-year revenue growth, Upwind claims 90% false positive reduction versus traditional CNAPP tools. Founded in 2022 by Amiram Shachar and team from Spot.io (acquired by NetApp for $450 million).
