Cybersecurity mega-rounds heating up, late-stage capital surging with three $500M+ Series rounds in six months

Round sizes
Median round size has climbed sharply. Series E–G rounds now regularly exceed $250M, with Cyera's $600M Series G and Wiz's $1B Series E dominating 2024–2026. Early-stage rounds ($25–100M) remain steady but dwarfed by late-stage momentum. Mega-rounds triple in frequency year-over-year.
Stage mix
Capital concentrates overwhelmingly in Series C and beyond. Cyera (six rounds, $2.24B total) and Wiz (five rounds, $1.65B) monopolize late-stage attention. Seed and Series A rounds are sparse (four total since 2020). Three exits in 18 months (Netskope IPO, Wiz acquisition, Splunk IPO) signal maturation.
Lead investors
Evolution Equity Partners leads four rounds 2024–2026, establishing dominance in late-stage. Accel and Lightspeed Venture Partners repeat across six and seven rounds respectively. Coatue, Sequoia, and Greenoaks lead multiple unicorn rounds. Traditional PE (Blackstone, KKR, Vista) enter selectively, signaling institutional capital influx.

Wiz
Wiz did not fail; it was absorbed into a larger parent. In March 2025 Google agreed to buy the company for about $32 billion in cash, the largest acquisition in Google's history and the biggest-ever purchase of a venture-backed startup. The transaction went through a 12-month global regulatory review and was unconditionally cleared in the U.S., the EU and several other jurisdictions, then closed in March 2026. On closing, Wiz ceased to exist as an independent company and joined Google Cloud, where its agentless CNAPP technology was integrated into Google's security portfolio.
Obituary
Lacework
Lacework raised more than $1.8 billion and reached a peak valuation of about $8.3 billion in November 2021, but the cloud-security market reset and slowing growth forced layoffs and a steep markdown in its value over the following two years. After exploring a sale, in June 2024 Fortinet agreed to acquire the company for undisclosed terms widely reported as a small fraction of its peak valuation, a fire sale relative to the money invested. The deal closed on August 1, 2024, and Lacework's CNAPP technology was integrated into the Fortinet Security Fabric and rebranded FortiCNAPP, ending Lacework as an independent company.
Obituary
Splunk
Splunk did not fail; it was acquired and absorbed. In September 2023 Cisco agreed to buy the company for $157 per share in cash, roughly $28 billion in equity value, the largest acquisition in Cisco's history. The deal cleared antitrust review without conditions and closed on March 18, 2024. On closing Splunk ceased trading as an independent public company and was integrated into Cisco's security and observability portfolio, where its SIEM and machine-data platform became central to Cisco's strategy of unifying networking and security data.
