Databricks’ Recent Performance
This new investment comes on the heels of strong momentum for Databricks, which includes:

Surpassing $4 billion revenue run-rate, growing >50% year over year.

Recently exceeding $1 billion revenue run-rate for its AI products.

Achieving positive free cash flow over the last 12 months.

Net retention rate sustaining >140%.

650+ customers consuming at over $1 million annual revenue run-rate.

Series K Investment
Databricks will use the new capital to accelerate its AI strategy — expanding Agent Bricks, launching the new Lakebase category, and fuelling global growth. At the June Data + AI Summit, Databricks introduced a new product, Agent Bricks, which builds high-quality, production AI agents optimised on your enterprise data, and Lakebase, a new category of operational databases (OLTP) built on open source Postgres, and optimised for AI agents. The investment will also support future AI acquisitions and deepen AI research.

“Our teams are putting up these results by building the data and AI infrastructure enterprises will rely on for decades,” said Ali Ghodsi, Co-Founder and CEO of Databricks. “With this new capital, we can move even faster with Agent Bricks, helping customers in every industry turn their data into production AI agents, and carry more momentum as we create the new Lakebase category, reinventing databases for AI agents.”

Continued Momentum
Databricks’ new capital comes amid increasing growth and expansion. During the two prior quarters, Databricks launched or expanded partnerships with Microsoft, Google Cloud, Anthropic, SAP, and Palantir. Additionally, this year the company signed new office leases in San Francisco and Sunnyvale to attract top AI talent.

The Databricks Data Intelligence Platform democratises access to data and AI, making it easier for organisations to harness the power of their data for analytics and AI apps and agents. Built on an open source foundation, the platform enables organisations to drive innovation to increase revenue, lower costs, and reduce risk.
