Company Milestones and Vision
This Series E round represents a significant milestone for the nearly five-year-old startup. Last year, Island raised $175 million in a Series D funding round that valued the company at roughly $2.9 billion. The company’s co-founders—one with a strong technical background from Israel (Dan Amiga) and the other a seasoned U.S. security executive (Mike Fey)—brought their vision to life by creating a Chromium-based browser that maintains the familiar look of standard browsers while incorporating enterprise-grade security features.
Industry leaders were quick to take notice. As one investor noted back then, the unique combination of a competent team and a compelling value proposition was what made Island an attractive opportunity. Today, the confidence in the company is further reflected in its growing customer base, which includes names like Mattress Firm, Swiss Life, and Fiverr.
