This latest round brings JupiterOne’s total amount of capital raised to more than $49 million since July 2020. These latest funds come after JupiterOne tripled its annual revenue in 2020 and doubled its total headcount over the last six months. The company plans to triple its revenue and double its staff size again in 2021.
JupiterOne will use the fresh funding to grow its engineering, product development, and go-to-market capabilities, including building out its remote workforce. The funding also will be used to extend the reach of the company’s extensive partnership and integration teams.
