Anomali announced on January 17, 2018, that it had closed an oversubscribed $40 million Series D led by Lumia Capital. The company said it planned to use the financing to accelerate growth in the United States and internationally and continue developing its cybersecurity products.

Who invested in Anomali’s Series D?

Lumia Capital led the round. Deutsche Telekom Capital Partners, Telstra and Sozo Ventures also participated, along with returning investors GV, General Catalyst, IVP and Paladin Capital Group, according to Anomali’s January 17, 2018 announcement.

What Anomali said it would do with the funding

Anomali said the capital would support faster growth in the U.S. and global markets and continued cybersecurity product development. Those were the company’s stated plans at the time of the announcement; the release does not establish what results followed.

The announcement also introduced two executive appointments: Drew Hamer as chief financial officer and Christopher Smith as chief revenue officer.

What Anomali reported about its funding

The company said the Series D brought its total investment raised to $96 million across four rounds. That is Anomali’s reported cumulative total as of January 2018, not a current funding figure. TechCrunch reported that the company did not disclose its valuation in connection with the round: TechCrunch’s January 17, 2018 coverage.

What Anomali did, and why ThreatStream is a separate name

In its 2018 release, Anomali described its business as threat intelligence, detection, investigation, response and sharing. It named ThreatStream as a threat-intelligence offering, Anomali Match among its detection capabilities, and STAXX as a free tool for collecting and sharing threat intelligence. It also described Anomali Limo as a free, out-of-the-box intelligence feed. These are descriptions from the announcement, not confirmation of present-day product availability.

ThreatStream was also Anomali’s former company name. The company announced its rebrand from ThreatStream in 2016: Anomali’s June 23, 2016 rebrand announcement. The name continued as a product name after the rebrand, a distinction also noted in TechCrunch’s contemporaneous report.

What the announcement does—and does not—establish

Anomali chief executive Hugh Njemanze characterized 2017 as a year of record customer growth and product innovation. The release provided no customer-growth figure, so that statement is the CEO’s description rather than a quantified measure. The financing announcement documents the round, its investors and the company’s plans at that time; it does not establish a valuation or subsequent company performance.
