# Glow raises $180M at $1.2B valuation to reinvent endpoint security for the AI era

> Glow has come out of stealth with $180 million at a $1.2 billion valuation, arriving as a unicorn on its very first public round. The Series A was led by Sequoia and Cyberstarts, with Greenoaks, Redpoint, Index Ventures, Lux Capital, and others joining. Founded in Israel in 2025 by Roi Tiger, the company also brings in security veterans, including a chief technology officer who led cybersecurity strategy at Snowflake. Glow's thesis is that traditional endpoint security was not designed for a world where autonomous AI agents run on and around company devices. As agents gain the ability to take actions on their own, the old model of watching for known bad software leaves gaps, and Glow is pitching a rebuilt approach for that shift. The size of the round says as much about the moment as the company. Investors are betting heavily that the rise of AI agents will create an entire security category to contain the new risks they introduce, and Glow has managed to raise like an established player before publicly shipping much at all. Execution against that expectation is the challenge now.
