It used to be that Unicorn companies were something of a rarity, as their name hints. Now, though, it has become something of a common beast in the Israeli high-tech ecosystem. This time it’s Aqua Security that gets tagged with the Unicorn label, closing an impressive $135 million Series E funding round. The investment was led by ION Crossover Partners, and saw participation from M12 Ventures – Microsoft’s venture arm, Insight Partners, TLV Partners, Greenspring, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Acrew Capital. Furthermore, it was reported that the company’s post-money valuation spiked over the billion-dollar mark.
