Based in San Francisco, the burgeoning data infrastructure enterprise Cribl secured a significant funding boost of $319 million in its Series E round, with GV (a venture arm of Alphabet) leading the way, supported by investments from GIC, CapitalG, IVP, and CRV. This financial push escalates Cribl’s funding total to $600 million and spikes its valuation to $3.5 billion, a sharp 40% increase from its Series D valuation in 2022.
Cribl notes this funding round as one of the most substantial in the 15-year history of GV. In line with the investment, Michael McBride, a general partner at GV, will take a seat on the board of Cribl.
The technology offered by Cribl serves to analyze, gather, process, and distribute IT and security-related data across a multitude of systems, databases, and data storage solutions. A significant boom in corporate data generation in recent years has driven the demand for advanced data operations and orchestration solutions; it’s projected that by 2025, enterprises could hold up to 80% of global data.
Cribl is on a successful trajectory, boasting a clientele that includes 25% of Fortune 500 companies and an annual recurring revenue (ARR) that has exceeded $100 million. Cribl has experienced a significant surge in its customer base, growing at a triple-digit rate year-over-year for the past five years, and reports a 163% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in ARR for the last four years. With close to 700 staff members, Cribl aims to reach cash-flow positivity by the year 2025, despite not being there yet.
