At the offering price, JFrog is raising $352 million, not counting the selling holders, valuing the company at about $4 billion. JFrog will list on Nasdaq with the symbol FROG. The company was valued at $1.5 billion in its most recent private round.
JFrog raised $226.5 million from a group of venture investors that included Gemini Israel Ventures, Scale Venture Partners, Sapphire Ventures Fund, Insight Partners, Dell Technologies (ticker: DELL), and Qumra Capital. Banks leading the deal include Morgan Stanley, J.P. Morgan, and Bank of America.
It’s a big week for IPOs with Snowflake (SNOW) and others also going public.
