Massive congratulations to the Recorded Future team, who today announced their acquisition by Insight Partners for $780 million. The deal represents one of the largest security software transactions of the year, and the largest ever in the threat intelligence space.

Bernard Liautaud, managing partner, Balderton Capital: 

"We are incredibly proud to have been supporting Recorded Future since 2012, when we led the company's $12 million Series C round. Seven years later, Recorded Future has seen amazing organic growth and become the largest privately-held threat intelligence software company in the world. We are delighted this milestone will allow them to accelerate the next phase of the company's global growth and pursue new capabilities." 

"This is a truly exciting time for the Recorded Future family of employees, clients, and partners. I am particularly grateful to the exceptional women and men who have worked tirelessly and with so much self-sacrifice for many years to build the amazing company and solution that we have today. The renewed investment in Recorded Future by Insight validates our hard work."

Congratulations to Christopher and the whole Recorded Future team!
