Cyera is reportedly planning to raise about $800 million at a $20 billion valuation, led by Cyberstarts
The Information says Cyera plans to raise ~$800M at a $20B valuation, led by Cyberstarts. Not announced; Cyera did not comment.
Cyera has not announced a round. The Information reported, citing two people with knowledge of the deal, that the data-security startup is planning to raise about $800 million led by Cyberstarts at a $20 billion valuation, up from $12 billion in June, with the round expected to close in the coming weeks. It is unclear whether $20 billion includes the new money. A Cyera spokesperson did not respond, according to Dealroom's relay.
The essentials
- Source: two unnamed people cited by The Information, relayed by Dealroom and others. We read the relays, not the original.
- Round: about $800 million, led by Cyberstarts, which first invested in 2021. A fortnight earlier, on October 30, the same outlet had reported only preliminary talks at $20 billion.
- Valuation: $20 billion, up from $12 billion in June. Whether that is pre-money or post-money is unclear.
- Business: Cyera scans cloud storage, databases and email for sensitive data. Annual recurring revenue is reportedly in the hundreds of millions, per one person.
How fast has the valuation moved?
Calcalist reports a path from $3 billion in 2024 to $6 billion in 2025 and $12 billion this year. Dealroom puts the June Series G at $600 million at $12 billion, led by Evolution Equity Partners, followed by a $400 million extension from Goldman Sachs Alternatives, bringing 2026 funding to about $1.4 billion and the total above $2 billion. Sources disagree on some earlier dates, so treat the exact sequence with care.
Why does the market care?
GuruFocus links it to high investor valuations for cybersecurity firms that can counter AI-driven threats. Cyera was founded by Israeli Unit 8200 veterans Yotam Segev and Tamar Bar-Ilan, per Dealroom. A round at this size would place it among the most highly valued private security companies.
What is not established
- Whether the round will close at this size and price: not established.
- Whether $20 billion is pre- or post-money: unclear.
- Exact ARR: only 'hundreds of millions', from one source.
- Other investors in the round: not reported in the sources we read.
