Upwind raises $400M after walking away from Datadog acquisition offer

Upwind, a San Francisco startup that uses AI to secure cloud infrastructure, has raised a $400 million Series C round at a $3.8 billion valuation led by Bessemer Venture Partners, with participation from existing backers including Greylock Partners and Craft Ventures.

The round comes nine months after Upwind closed its previous $250 million financing at a $1.5 billion valuation.
