Transmit Security Raises $543M in Record-Breaking Funding to Rid the World of Passwords
by Taira Sabo
We are incredibly excited to share that Transmit Security has raised $543M in funding led by Insight Partners and General Atlantic, with additional investment from Cyberstarts, Geodesic, SYN Ventures, Vintage and Artisanal Ventures.
Since 2014, serial cyber entrepreneurs, investors and Co-Founders of Transmit Security, Mickey Boodaei and Rakesh Loonkar’s vision has remained unchanged — to rid the world of passwords. The investment, which comes in as the highest ever Series A round of funding in cyber security history, will accelerate our growth engines and enable us to reach higher achievements.
As pioneers of our industry, we are proud to lead the market with our identity experience focused solutions — creating seamless customer experiences and further contributing to eliminating the world’s reliance on passwords.
This investment will allow us to further increase our innovation leadership within the industry and enhance our global growth operations in key territories: NA, LATAM, EMEA and APAC while also expanding into new global markets.
Identity is at the heart of the user experience — it’s there when you sign up, sign in and check out. Therefore, the impact of your experience has a significant impact on your business results.
Still today, many businesses are not aware of the negative impact of a suboptimal identity experience on their business and revenue. Our aim is to assist these organizations every step of the way by offering the most convenient, frictionless and secure customer experience solutions. By providing a better experience, businesses are able to acquire and retain more customers while lowering identity attrition.
Through our unique and innovative technology we will make it our mission to effectively end the password era and usher in a new wave of secure, frictionless online identity experiences across all industries and platforms around the globe.
On behalf of the entire Transmit Security team, from Boston to Tel Aviv and everywhere in between, thank you for being part of our vision. Here’s to the end of the password regime!
