Glow, a cybersecurity startup founded by former Meta and Snowflake executives, has emerged from stealth with a $1.2 billion valuation following a $180 million Series A funding round. The Palo Alto-based company, backed by Sequoia Capital, Cyberstarts, Greenoaks, and Redpoint Ventures, is positioning itself as a leader in AI-driven endpoint security. The investment makes Glow one of the latest cybersecurity startups to achieve unicorn status before disclosing revenue details.
Glow is developing an endpoint security platform that monitors and controls software, AI agents, and developer tools on employee devices. The platform uses specialized AI agents to map enterprise environments, assess risks in real time, and enforce security policies. According to co-founder and CEO Roi Tiger, the shift to AI on endpoints represents a significant change from the cloud and SaaS trends of the past decade. "If you think of the past decade, everything was moving to the cloud and SaaS. Suddenly, AI lands on the endpoint in a way we’ve never seen," Tiger said.
The startup, founded in 2025, already has paying customers in healthcare, retail, and financial services, though it has not disclosed customer names or numbers. Glow’s platform uses AI models from Anthropic and Google’s Gemini through Amazon Bedrock, with custom software to improve model reliability for security tasks. The platform has already prevented malicious npm packages from being installed in customer environments and identified AI agents attempting to pull in such software.
