Whalebone Secures $14M Series B Funding to Power Global Expansion

Whalebone, a prominent provider of cybersecurity solutions within the telecommunications sector and the leading figure in the European Union's DNS4EU initiative, has successfully raised $14 million in a Series B funding round. The investment was spearheaded by Unbound, a London-based global investment firm, and included contributions from current investors such as Day One Capital. Whalebone intends to use the new financing to advance various strategic goals, which include geographical expansion, product development, enterprise and public sector growth, and enhancement of its threat intelligence services. The company, which aims to protect one billion internet users, recently expanded into new markets in the APAC region through partnerships with telecom operators like Smart Axiata, Tele2 Kazakhstan, Vietnamobile, and Dhiraagu. This expansion is part of Whalebone’s larger strategic vision, bolstered by its recent recognition as a fast-growing company in Europe by Deloitte and the Financial Times. Investors value Whalebone's efficiency and its pioneering work in DNS cybersecurity. Shravin Bharti Mittal from Unbound and György Sim from Day One Capital praised Whalebone’s strategic growth, innovative cybersecurity solutions, and global potential. The investment is expected to fortify Whalebone’s market leadership and its role in enhancing the resilience of internet infrastructure through projects like DNS4EU.
