Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

On behalf of our client, CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” or “CrowdStrike”), we are submitting this letter in response to comments from the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission received by letter dated May 3, 2019 (the “Comment Letter”) relating to the above-referenced Amendment No. 1 to the Draft Registration Statement on Form S-1 of the Company, confidentially submitted on April 17, 2019 (the “Draft Registration Statement”). The Company is concurrently confidentially submitting a revised version of the Draft Registration Statement (the “Revised Draft Registration Statement”), including changes in response to the Staff’s comments. For your convenience, we are providing by overnight delivery to the Staff courtesy copies of the Revised Draft Registration Statement that have been marked to show changes from the Draft Registration Statement as well as a copy of this letter.

For ease of review, we have set forth below in italics each of the comments as set forth in the Comment Letter, together with the Company’s responses thereto. All page references in the Company’s responses are to the Revised Draft Registration Statement.

1.              Your response to prior comment 3 appears to indicate that you have significant risk as to ascertaining whether your customers would be considered a small and medium-sized customer, defined as having fewer than 2,500 total endpoints. Please disclose whether your new subscription customers are primarily small and medium-sized customers and whether your small and medium-sized customers represent substantially all or a substantial majority of the total number of subscription customers. Qualitative disclosure of the proportionality of these customers will provide context to this disclosure.

 

Response: The Company has revised the disclosure on page 82 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement to address the Staff’s comment.

 

Executive Compensation

 

Bonus and Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation, page 142
