Ex-Meta VP who built a controversial surveillance tool just launched $1.2B cybersecurity AI unicorn with $180M funding — TFN

Glow, an AI-focused endpoint security startup, has come out of stealth mode with $180 million in funding and a $1.2 billion valuation.

The funding round was led by Sequoia Capital, Cyberstarts, Greenoaks, and Redpoint Ventures. Glow’s founders previously held leadership roles at Meta, Snowflake, and Claroty.

Glow aims to tackle the growing problem of unauthorised AI use on corporate devices, which jumped from 15% to 45% over the past year.

Before Roi Tiger spent nine years climbing the engineering ranks at Meta, he co-founded the company whose product would become one of Silicon Valley’s most cited examples of corporate surveillance. Now he is saying that experience, and $180 million in fresh funding, will help him convince enterprises to trust an AI agent with their endpoint security.

Tiger’s new startup, Glow, emerged from stealth with a Series A round that values the company at $1.2 billion. The round was led by Sequoia Capital, Cyberstarts, Greenoaks, and Redpoint Ventures, joined by Index Ventures, Swish Ventures, Lux Capital, Operator Collective, and Holly Ventures.
