Valuation: $1.8B
Date: October 2021
Investors: Temasek, GGV Capital
Sector: Security

The Series C for Orca Security lands in that uncomfortable middle ground where you can't call it genius or catastrophe. Temasek, GGV Capital are deploying $550M at $1.8B, which feels like a price negotiated by people who read the same three analyst reports and decided to split the difference. agentless agent—that's literally what they're betting on. The security thesis makes sense on a whiteboard, but the execution risk is substantial and the competitive moat is more of a competitive puddle. Will this work? Maybe. Will early investors get liquidity? Eventually. Will anyone remember this deal in five years? Absolutely not.

VERDICT: Agentless Agent valued at $1.8B—either visionary timing or expensive optimism.
