Last week marked two incredible milestones for CrowdStrike; joining the S&P 500 index and celebrating its 5-year IPO anniversary. Nine years ago, CapitalG led the $100 million Series C in what seemed at the time like a bold investment in a young, still fairly unknown cybersecurity company. CrowdStrike was the iconic startup back fighting to disrupt larger, entrenched incumbents. But its vision and technology were absolutely world-class, as were its leaders George Kurtz, Burt Podbere, Johanna Flower, Mike Carpenter and Amol K. (among so many other talented executives.) We recognized its potential to become a global leader, and today, CrowdStrike is that and so much more. CrowdStrike has redefined modern cybersecurity and shown the world what it means to be a truly generational company. It was the honor of a lifetime to partner with Crowdstrike, and it has been a thrill to watch its transformation from ambitious upstart to global titan. I can't wait to celebrate the incredible milestones still to come. James Luo Melissa Chaika Sobel

💡 "As CrowdStrike marks the fifth anniversary of its IPO, the company stands as a testament to the visionary leadership of CEO George Kurtz and the unwavering commitment to cybersecurity innovation." ☁ "As of Q1, Falcon, CrowdStrike’s flagship product, has been selected by 62 of the Fortune 100 as their preferred cloud security provider." 🔐 "Such milestones are not just numbers; they are indicative of the trust and reliance major organizations place on CrowdStrike." —Forbes Senior Contributor Tony Bradley, who spoke with CrowdStrike CEO & Co-Founder George Kurtz in this recent interview: https://lnkd.in/eBhx6CTV
