Glow, an AI-native endpoint security startup led by former Meta and Snowflake executives, emerged from stealth on Wednesday with $180 million in funding at a $1.2 billion valuation to rebuild endpoint defense around AI-first prevention. The round was led by Sequoia Capital, Cyberstarts, Greenoaks and Redpoint Ventures, minting Glow as a unicorn on day one.
A prevention-first stack for the AI endpoint
Glow's founders — CEO Roi Tiger (formerly VP of Engineering at Meta), CTO Omer Singer (Snowflake's former Head of Cybersecurity Strategy) and VP of R&D Ophir Arie (formerly of Claroty) — argue that AI has fundamentally changed the corporate endpoint, with regular AI usage on company devices jumping from 15% to 45% in a single year. Their platform deploys specialized AI agents that continuously map every device, analyze risk in real time and enforce adaptive policies to keep unsanctioned software off the endpoint before it becomes an incident.
Three-module platform: Asset Intelligence, Software Control, Safe AI Adoption
The Glow Endpoint AI Platform is organized around three pillars: Asset Intelligence builds a continuously reconciled inventory of every device and every layer of installed software; Software Control lets teams set natural-language policies that autonomous remediation agents enforce at scale; and Safe AI Adoption curbs shadow AI by steering employees onto managed enterprise AI tools. The company says early customers, including Fanatics, CAVA, BMC Software, Antares Capital, Qualtrics, Xactly and Hospital Sisters Health System, saw an average 28 days to zero critical issues and a 90%+ reduction in AI supply-chain risk.

Sequoia, Cyberstarts and a $32B-Wiz alum
Sequoia partner Shaun Maguire, who backed the round, said pairing Tiger, Singer and Arie was "one of the easiest decisions we've made." Chief Operating Officer Emily Heath — the former CISO at United Airlines and DocuSign and a board member through Wiz's $32 billion Google acquisition — joined the executive team, with participation in the round from Index Ventures, Swish Ventures, Lux Capital, Operator Collective and Holly Ventures. Glow will use the capital to expand its U.S. go-to-market team and grow Glow Labs, its research arm.
Landing in a busy AI-security week
Glow's debut arrives the same week Neo raised $100M from a16z and Bessemer for agentic software security, ReliaQuest joined OpenAI's Daybreak cyber program and Empirical Security closed a $25M Series A for AI-era exposure prediction — evidence that "AI-native" is quickly becoming the required posture for endpoint and SOC vendors. Glow will showcase its platform at Black Hat USA in Las Vegas on August 3–5.
