Cloud security startup Upwind has raised $400 million in a Series C funding round at a $3.8 billion valuation. The company reportedly walked away from a Datadog acquisition offer worth roughly the same amount, choosing to stay independent instead. The funding positions Upwind as one of the most valuable startups in the crowded cloud security sector, and the decision to turn down a sale is drawing attention across the tech industry.
Why now: A startup rejecting a multi-billion-dollar acquisition to stay independent is rare and signals confidence in the cloud security market.
