Lookout, a San Francisco, CA-based provider of security software that protects from mobile threats, secured $55m in strategic financing.
The round was led by Deutsche Telekom, with participation from Qualcomm Incorporated, which invested through its venture capital arm Qualcomm Ventures, Greylock Partners and Peter Thiel-backed Mithril Capital Management as well as current investors Accel Partners, Andreessen Horowitz, Index Ventures, and Khosla Ventures.
The company intends to use the funds to continue international expansion, extend its reach into the enterprise and invest in security beyond mobile.
