Cribl, the data engine for IT and security, has closed a $319 million oversubscribed Series E round, comprised of a combined primary and secondary transaction, bringing the company’s total capital secured to over $600 million and increasing its valuation to $3.5 billion, up 40% since the company’s Series D round in 2022.

The round was led by new investor GV (Google Ventures), marking one of the firm’s largest-ever investments. The investment was led by GV General Partner and former GitLab CRO Michael McBride, who joined Cribl’s Board of Directors. GIC, CapitalG, IVP, and CRV also participated in the round. This funding comes on the heels of Cribl surpassing $100 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR) in less than four years, becoming the fourth-fastest infrastructure company to reach centaur status in October 2023.

GV’s support of Cribl is significant, marking one of the largest investments in the firm’s 15-year history. The funding will facilitate Cribl’s continued growth by accelerating product development, extending global presence, and strengthening infrastructure to support its rapid expansion.
