Forward Networks, a Palo Alto, CA-based provider of network assurance and intent-based network verification solutions, secured $35m in Series C funding.
The round was led by Goldman Sachs with participation from existing investors Andreessen Horowitz, Threshold Ventures (previously DFJ Venture) and A. Capital.
The company intends to use the funds to expand sales and marketing programs into new regional and vertical markets, and to fund continued investment in R&D.
