CrowdStrike expects Q2 fiscal 2020 revenue of between $103 million-$104 million. For the full year, it’s expecting revenues of between $430.2 million-$436.4 million. CrowdStrike recently had an IPO that raised $659.1 million in net proceeds. The company is among a handful of unicorns [to name some; Zoom, Pinterest, Uber, Slack and Lyft] that also went public this year.

According to Pitchbook data, the second quarter of 2019 saw over $130 billion in exit value, with Uber’s IPO accounting for nearly 50% of that figure.
