Cribl, the Data Engine for IT and Security, 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.

As enterprise data grows at a 28% CAGR, far outpacing IT budget growth, legacy vendors and point solutions make it challenging for customers to keep up with the volume, variety, and value of data. Cribl’s vendor-agnostic solutions empower customers to analyze, collect, process, and route all IT and security data to unlock its value. Since its inception in 2018, Cribl has seen unparalleled growth as enterprises around the world rapidly adopt the Data Engine for IT and Security to transform their data strategies. Cribl’s telemetry data management solutions drive significant value for enterprises.

“As practitioners who worked in this space for years, my co-founders and I know firsthand the challenges facing IT and Security as data grows exponentially. What worked over the last ten years simply cannot keep up with the needs of businesses today, let alone over the next ten years,” said Clint Sharp, co-founder and CEO of Cribl. “We started Cribl to solve these real problems for real users. Today’s funding proves the value in that approach. It’s an incredible milestone, but only a step in our journey to create a generational company that will continue to evolve to meet our customers’ needs.”
