When we last heard from BigID<\/a> at the end of 2020, the company was announcing a $70 million<\/a> Series D at a $1 billion valuation. Today, it announced a $30 million extension on that deal valuing the company at $1.25 billion just four months later.<\/p>\n

This chunk of money comes from private equity firm Advent International, and brings the total raised to more than $200 million across four rounds, according to the company. The late-stage startup is attracting all of this capital by building a security and privacy platform. When I spoke to CEO Dimitri Sirota in September 2019 at the time of the $50 million Series C<\/a>,<\/a> he described the company\u2019s direction this way:<\/p>\n

\n

We\u2019ve separated the product into some constituent parts. While it\u2019s still sold as a broad-based [privacy and security] solution, it\u2019s much more of a platform now in the sense that there\u2019s a core set of capabilities that we heard over and over that customers want.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Sirota says he has been putting the money to work, and as the economy improves he is seeing more traction for the product set. \u201cSince December, we\u2019ve added employees as we\u2019ve seen broader economic recovery and increased demand. In tandem, we have been busy building a whole host of new products and offerings that we will announce over the coming weeks that will be transformational for BigID,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He also said that as with previous rounds, he didn\u2019t go looking for the additional money, but decided to take advantage of the new funds at a higher valuation with a firm that he believes can add value overall. What\u2019s more, the funds should allow the company to expand in ways it might have held off on.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was important to us that this wouldn\u2019t be a distraction and that we could balance any funding without the need to over-capitalize, which is becoming a bigger issue in today\u2019s environment. In the end, we took what we thought could bring forward some additional product modules and add a sales team focused on smaller commercial accounts,\u201d Sirota said.<\/p>\n

Ashwin Krishnan, a principal on Advent\u2019s technology team in New York, says that BigID was clearly aligned with two trends his firm has been following. That includes the explosion of data being collected and the increasing focus on managing and securing that data with the goal of ultimately using it to make better decisions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we met with Dimitri and the BigID team, we immediately knew we had found a company with a powerful platform that solves the most challenging problem at the center of these trends and the data question,\u201d Krishnan said.<\/p>\n

Past investors in the company include Boldstart Ventures, Bessemer Venture Partners and Tiger Global. Strategic investors include Comcast Ventures, Salesforce Ventures and SAP.io.<\/p>\n
