"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."
