- Island raised $400 million in a funding round led by Evolution Equity Partners, reaching a $6.4 billion valuation
- Island plans to expand its staff to 1,500 employees as the company cites surging demand for tools that secure enterprises against swarms of rogue artificial intelligence agents
Why it matters: A $6.4 billion valuation on a $400 million raise signals investor conviction that enterprise browser security — a niche until recently — has become critical infrastructure as companies race to contain rogue AI agents. The plan to triple headcount to 1,500 indicates Island is scaling ahead of demand rather than chasing it.
