Red Sift, a London-based cybersecurity company is the provider of the only integrated cloud email security and brand protection platform.
Global expansion plans
In a recent development, Red Sift has raised $54 million in Series B funding. The round was led by Highland Europe that invested in Snapshift and another cybersecurity startup SoSafe along with participation from new and existing investors, including Sands Capital, Oxford Capital, and MMC Ventures. The funding has come at a time when the company has gained significant momentum in the past 12 months.
Red Sift will use the investment to further accelerate its global expansion with plans for a new US headquarters in Austin, Texas, and growth initiatives across the Asia Pacific, Europe, and Middle East regions. Also, the company is hiring across all departments, and doubling down on its platform innovation.
Besides the fundraising, Sam Brooks, partner at Highland Europe and Michael Graninger, partner at SANDS Capital, will join the company’s Board of Directors. The new investment brings Red Sift’s total funding raised to $69.8 million.
Rahul Powar, CEO of Red Sift said, “To be a genuine partner to our customers, we must help them protect against multiple interconnected threat vectors. As a result, we built a platform that enables rapid iterations across multiple products that all share a solid, enterprise-ready foundation. We are grateful for the support of our investors to scale our platform and deliver even more value to our customers.”
“With phishing attacks now ubiquitous, there is a necessity in the enterprise for Red Sift’s cloud security platform which prevents domain impersonation and provides inbox protection,” said Sam Brooks, Partner, Highland Europe. “We’ve been impressed by the technical prowess and commercial momentum achieved by Rahul, Randal and their team in a short time and are delighted to have the opportunity to partner with them.”
Michael Graninger, Partner, Sands Capital said, “Red Sift continues to be a genuine partner to its customers in countering the bad guys by offering a platform to protect organisations from multiple, varied and interconnected threat vectors. We’re happy to continue to support Red Sift as it innovates across multiple products that all share a solid, enterprise ready foundation.”
David Mott, Founding Partner, Oxford Capital commented, “We initially invested in Red Sift in 2016 before they had a single customer and we’re proud to have supported another deep-tech success story in the UK’s innovative tech sector that is expanding globally. We’re looking forward to working with them going forward to continue building the business.”
