The series K company offered USD 100 billion and made it a highly valuable private firm around the globe. The round was offered and directed by existing investors Andreesen Horowitz, Insight Partners, MGX, Thrive Capital, and WCM Investment Management. The company aims to accelerate its AI strategy, which includes expanding products, launching an innovative operational database category, and pursuing future AI acquisitions through research.

Databricks is targeting a net revenue retention rate of more than 140% with over 650 customers, generating annual spending of more than USD 1 million and exhibiting stable cash flow over the past 12 months, according to data released by the company. CEO Ali Ghodsi said the enterprise expects to maintain a consistent positive cash flow, which could facilitate an initial public listing without a specific timeline commitment.

It is another venture capital-supported start-up in July. Founded in 2013, a leading enterprise Databricks is popularly known for its platform offerings, which are developed to assist users in ingesting, analyzing, and building applications based on artificial intelligence models. This makes it highly valuable and expanding to support the global expansion of AI, helping various enterprises seeking robust support to grow in the AI domain and effectively offer services based on AI models.
