Blackwall raises $100 million Series C at a $2.2 billion valuation
Original title: Blackwall quadruples valuation to $2.2B as websites wrangle an increasingly crowded internet
The Estonia-based vendor sells bot and AI-agent controls through hosting and cloud providers, not directly to sites.
Estonia-based Blackwall said Tuesday it raised $100 million in a Series C led by AVP, with Dawn Capital, MMC Ventures and Tera Ventures participating, valuing the company at $2.2 billion. Executive chairman Roi Carthy told TechCrunch the round is four times the 2025 valuation. Blackwall bundles DDoS protection, threat intelligence, certificate management and traffic filtering for hosting, managed-service and cloud providers to resell under their own brands. It plans to expand across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and the Middle East.
Unconfirmed: The fourfold valuation increase is what Blackwall’s executive chairman told TechCrunch.
- Providers mix security components, set customer prices and share revenue with Blackwall.
- A free tier shows traffic and threats; protection and response tools are paid.
- The company says fingerprinting can identify clients such as Microsoft Office or Codex.
- Its own models at customer endpoints are used to separate legitimate agents from bots.
