2. STG Partners Is A Newcomer To Cybersecurity
STG has been around since 2002 investing in software, data and analytics leaders in the midmarket. But the Palo Alto, Calif.-based private equity firm shied away from cybersecurity until April 2019, when it took a majority stake in network modeling and risk scoring platform RedSeal for a reported $100 million, according to Momentum Cyber.
RedSeal today employs 180 people and had raised just over $90 million prior to its acquisition by STG, according to LinkedIn and Crunchbase. In addition to commanding a valuation 21-times higher than RedSeal, RSA employs nearly 3,100 people around the world, according to LinkedIn.
Outside of cybersecurity, STG participated in a $20 million Series C funding round for San Francisco-based business intelligence provider Govini in May 2015.
