NEW YORK/SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) – Cybersecurity software maker CrowdStrike Inc has hired investment bank Goldman Sachs Group to prepare for an initial public offering that could come in the first half of next year, people familiar with the matter said on Friday. CrowdStrike is aiming to be valued more than the $3 billion funding round assigned to it earlier this year, the sources added. Sunnyvale, California-based CrowdStrike raised $200 million in June led by investors General Atlantic, Accel and IVP. Other major backers include CapitalG, an investment arm of Googleâs parent company Alphabet Inc and Warburg Pincus LLC.
