Databricks Reaches a Valuation of $62 Billion

On Tuesday, leading software company Databricks secured a significant $10 billion in funding, raising its valuation impressively to $62 billion. This represents a substantial increase from the company's previous valuation of $43 billion in 2023. The new funds will enable Databricks to offer liquidity options to its current and former employees, pursue acquisitions, and facilitate its expansion into international markets.

Competing with Snowflake, which had a market value of approximately $57 billion at Monday's market close, the company specializes in data analysis, data cleansing, and operating artificial intelligence models for its clients. Databricks' software is also compatible with major cloud services such as Amazon, Google, and Microsoft, which are considered competitors in this realm.

Databricks announced that it is on track to achieve positive free cash flow with a $3 billion revenue run rate for the quarter ending January 31. The company also reported over 60% year-over-year revenue growth for the October quarter.

The latest funding round received contributions from a range of investors, including Thrive Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, DST Global, GIC, Iconiq Growth, Insight Partners, MGX, Sands Capital, WCM Investment Management, and Wellington Management. To date, Databricks has raised a total of $8.6 billion.

While technology investors have long awaited an initial public offering (IPO) from Databricks, the company has not disclosed new details regarding the anticipated timing of the IPO. However, there is speculation that this event could occur in the coming months.
