This is a weekly feature that runs down the week’s top 10 announced funding rounds in the U.S. Check out the biggest funding rounds of last week here.
After a couple of blistering weeks, large funding rounds slowed down to a crawl, with only two rounds hitting nine figures. Not surprisingly, those two rounds came from the cybersecurity and biotech industries.
1. NinjaOne, $500M, cybersecurity: NinjaOne, which provides endpoint management, security and monitoring, raised $500 million in Series C extensions at a $5 billion valuation — more than doubling its value from just 12 months ago. The company said the new funding came in separate tranches led by Iconiq Growth and Google’s CapitalG, with participation from other investors. The Austin, Texas-based company announced a $231.5 million Series C led by Iconiq at a $1.9 billion valuation just a year ago. Securing endpoints has been a main pillar of cybersecurity since the industry started. However, the need has only increased as many people work outside an office and with a variety of networks and devices. NinjaOne’s massive raise is the largest since France-based I-Tracing, a managed security service provider, raised a venture round of approximately $516 million last June. Founded in 2013, NinjaOne has raised nearly $762 million, per Crunchbase.
2. Eikon Therapeutics, $351M, biotech: Eikon Therapeutics raised one of the biggest biotech rounds thus far in this young year. The Hayward, California-based drug startup closed on nearly $351 million in a Series D from the likes of Lux Capital and Alexandria Venture Investments. The round is the second biggest for a biotech startup this year, behind only London-based Verdiva Bio, a company creating treatments for obesity and cardiometabolic diseases, as it raised a $411 million Series A in January. This is just the latest big round for Eikon, which raised a $517.8 million Series B financing from nearly 20 different investors back in 2022. The company uses super-resolution microscopy to discover the effects of drugs on live cells. Founded in 2019, the company has now raised $1.1 billion, per Crunchbase.
3. Bitwise, $70M, crypto: San Francisco-based Bitwise, a crypto-specialist asset manager, raised a $70 million round led by Electric Capital. The company offers a suite of crypto asset management products and manages more than $12 billion in client assets. Its investment solution offerings include index funds, exchange-traded funds and exchange-traded products. Founded in 2017, the company has raised nearly $155 million, per Crunchbase.
4. Raise, $63M, loyalty: Miami-based Raise, a gift cards and loyalty company, raised $63 million led by Haun Ventures.
