OwnBackUp, an Israeli startup focused on cloud data protection, has raised $240 million in a Series E investment round, putting it near a valuation of $3.35 billion.
The company said Tuesday it has raised nearly $500 million, boosting its valuation by a massive $2 billion in only six months.
OwnBackUp also said it will expand its data backup and recovery solutions to new cloud platforms, starting with Microsoft’s Dynamics 365. The firm currently offers customers automatic cloud data backup for Salesforce products.
OwnBackUp provides protection and other services to close to 4,000 organizations, including Aston Martin, the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Medtronic, Navy Federal Credit Union and the University of Miami, the company said.
The latest investment round was co-led by Alkeon Capital and B Capital Group, and included investments by BlackRock Private Equity Partners, Salesforce Ventures, Sapphire Ventures and Tiger Global.

Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
