Our Next Wave is here, and we're just getting started 🌊
This week's celebration was a moment we’ll remember. Not because of the funding, but because of what, and who it represents.
To our customers, partners, investors, and teammates: thank you. For believing in a different approach to cloud security. For pushing us. For riding this wave with us.
Up & Up! @amirams3
Huge congrats to the team at @upwindsecurity on their $250M Series B Raise!
In order to celebrate I thought I’d take you guys back to where this partnership all began, a day on the very beach where my wingfoiling journey started.
It’s also where we filmed my Road to Gold episode with @amirams3 , talking about what it means to go upwind, in sport, in security, and in life.
The momentum is real, and Upwind’s just getting started. Proud to be partnering with a team that’s going up wind in the market and reshaping the future of cloud security.
Watching @upwindsecurity secure a $250M Series B has been incredible, to be apart of this amazing family and experiencing how empowering it is to have Amiram on your side is something more meaningful than I could have ever imagined. He’s the most hard working, humble and kind person who is steering Upwind Up & Up to where it deserves to be.
Partnering with Upwind and Amiram has always been about shared values: precision, resilience, pushing limits, and staying steady in the chaos.
It’s a privilege to see how much heart and vision his whole team brings and now, the world is seeing it too. Huge congratulations to everyone at Upwind, can’t wait to see what’s coming with their next wave 🌊️
The Next Wave is here: Upwind raises $250M in Series B funding. 🌊
Led by @bessemer.venture.partners , with participation from Picture Capital, Penny Jar, Greylock, Cyberstarts, Craft Ventures, Alta Park Capital, TCV, Leaders Fund, Swish, and Cerca Partners.
Upwind was built for where the cloud is going: real-time, AI-driven, and always in motion.
This raise powers our next phase: scaling runtime-first security for the AI era, expanding globally, and helping teams act faster with real signals, not alert noise.
Up & Up! 🏄
@amirams3
Excited to announce I’m officially teaming up with @upwindsecurity , a cloud security company powered by runtime.
Upwind is built for teams who navigate complexity every day, and need to see clearly through it. Their platform is powered by runtime, which gives security teams a real-time, inside-out view of what’s actually happening in their cloud, so they can move fast and stay in control when it counts.
That mindset felt familiar right away. Reading the wind and water in real time is everything with the water sports I do. You can’t solely rely on a forecast, you’ve got to feel what’s happening and adjust instantly. That’s exactly what runtime is for in cloud security. It’s about awareness, clarity, and making the right moves when things get unpredictable.
Stoked to bring this partnership to life with @upwindsecurity & @amirams3 , grounded in shared values: clarity, speed, and the pursuit of mastery, whether in the cloud or on the water.
Up & Up!

We’re stoked to welcome @cash_berzolla , 2x World Champion Wingfoiler, to the Upwind family. 🌊
At Upwind, we’re explorers at heart. We’re building for cloud security teams who navigate complexity every day. Those who value clarity, speed, and control under pressure.
That mindset isn’t just found in security teams, it’s something we see in people like Cash.
From mastering Maui’s chaotic winds to earning gold on the world stage, Cash’s journey is about precision, resilience, and pushing limits.
That’s why he’s part of our Road to Gold series, where we spotlight bold humans chasing excellence and invite our cloud community to find inspiration in their own craft.
This partnership is about shared values. The pursuit of mastery. Bringing runtime clarity to the chaos that big waves can bring.
Cash, we’re proud to have you ride with us.
Up & Upwind! 🏄♂️

Memories from our recent leadership retreat in Miami 💙 Where big ideas, bold plans, and real momentum came together to fuel everything we’re building.
Our Co-Founder & CEO, Amiram Shachar, said it best, "Upwind is really about people committed to work together, to build together."
Here's to what's next. Up & Upwind! 🏄♂️
Upwind Demo Drop #2 is here, and this time Jonathan Cohen is taking you inside our advanced inventory features👇

Use the 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗧𝗮𝗯 to quickly filter your entire environment and find exactly what you need, like every resource running a specific tech and exposed to the internet.
Tap into the 𝗨𝗽𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗿 to build complex queries, uncover high-risk combinations, and save them as misconfiguration rules for ongoing compliance tracking.
Stay tuned for next week’s drop where we’ll dive into the Configurations Model and show you how we help teams stay in control and ensure compliance.

Introducing the Upwind Data Security Framework: The Next Evolution in Cloud Data Protection 🔐
Sensitive data in the cloud is a prime target for attackers but identifying risks can be challenging in dynamic cloud environments. Upwind’s Runtime-Powered Data Security Posture Framework redefines how organizations secure data at rest and in transit, providing teams with the context they need to take proactive action against threats. Key Benefits:
• Real-time visibility into cloud data exposure across compute, storage, networking, and identity layers
• Contextual risk insights by correlating runtime behavior, access patterns, and misconfigurations
• Focused remediation for active, exploitable risks rather than theoretical vulnerabilities
Our framework goes beyond static scans to give you actionable insights on how sensitive data is accessed and transmitted, enabling you to prioritize the risks that matter most before they lead to a breach.
Explore how Upwind's Data Security Framework can transform your cloud data protection.
