Founded in New York City in 2017, Axonius’ software helps IT and security teams manage their IT environments, including devices, users, software and cloud services, so they can mitigate threats and manage security risks.
The round, co-led by existing investors Accel and Lightspeed Venture Partners, with participation from Stripes, brings Axonius’ total funding to nearly $600 million, according to PitchBook data.
The startup’s latest valuation is roughly in line with the $2.6 billion valuation it fetched at its last raise in early 2022, despite its revenue growing in double digits annually since then.
The lower valuation multiples shows how investors value startups differently in the new norm in the high interest rate environment where public company valuation shifts.
The company, while unprofitable, plans to use new funding to accelerate growth through acquisitions, as it looks to build out its cybersecurity platform by adding tools that help manage different IT assets, CEO and Co-founder Dean Sysman told Reuters in an interview.
