NinjaOne announced $500 million in Series C
extensions at a $5 billion valuation. The venture funding came in
separate tranches that were led by ICONIQ Growth and CapitalG,
Alphabet's independent investment fund, with participation from other
prominent private investors. The raise will drive research and
development focused on autonomous endpoint management, autonomous
patching and vulnerability remediation, and expanded IT use cases that
improve employee experiences with devices. The funding will also support
retaining the company's overinvestment in world-class customer support
as well as provide funding for the company's pending acquisition of SaaS
backup and data protection leader Dropsuite.
NinjaOne has no debt and remains a founder-led and controlled
business after the Series C extensions. Co-founders Sal Sferlazza and
Chris Matarese remain the biggest equity holders in the company, have
majority control of the Board of Directors, and hold a majority of the
company's voting power. NinjaOne has more than 24,000 customers,
including Nvidia, Lyft, Cintas, Vimeo, HelloFresh, The King's Trust, and
Porsche. The company's record over the past year included:
- Announcing its intent to acquire SaaS backup and data protection leader Dropsuite for $262M USD
- Being named a representative vendor in the Gartner Market Guide for Endpoint Management Tools
- Being named a Champion in the Canalys RMM and PSA Leadership Matrix 2025
- Launching 20 product releases including NinjaOne AI for Patch Sentiment, NinjaOne Mobile Device Management (MDM), and free Warranty Tracking
"At NinjaOne, we are investing in innovation across our platform with
a vision to make endpoint and patch management as easy and autonomous
as possible, while continuing to expand into other AI, IT, and security
use cases," said Sferlazza, CEO and co-founder at NinjaOne. "Endpoints
are the backbone of organizations today, and we believe in the coming
years, providing products that support the user and their devices will
be critical to making our customers successful."
"Sal is a technical, product-first CEO who is obsessed with creating
the best possible experience for NinjaOne customers," said Matarese,
President, CFO, and co-founder at NinjaOne. "Many private equity funded
companies focus on cutting services to increase profits. At NinjaOne, we
believe in investing more to provide additional value to our customers.
This funding will allow us to commit even more resources to building an
unparalleled platform, and we are extremely confident that with Sal's
product leadership, our investments will continue to elevate NinjaOne as
the preeminent solution in the market."
"By putting the customer at the center of every decision, Sal and
Chris developed a sophisticated yet easy-to-use platform at a time when
endpoint growth is surging, leaving legacy solutions behind," said Roy
Luo, General Partner at ICONIQ Growth. "We believe this differentiated
mindset will ensure their continued success. As NinjaOne enters this
next phase of growth, we're excited to see them expand their leadership
in automated endpoint management and proud to deepen our partnership."
"NinjaOne has the potential to be a generational company. The
NinjaOne platform is reimagining what is possible in automated endpoint
management while prioritizing results for customers and partners.
Coupled with its terrific culture and exceptional leadership team, we
find NinjaOne to be one of the strongest IT software companies in the
world," said Derek Zanutto, General Partner at CapitalG. "Endpoints are
nearly impossible to manage across the enterprise, and CapitalG is
committed to helping NinjaOne and its customers succeed where others
have failed."
