Databricks Raises $4B At $134B Valuation As Its AI Business Heats Up

Databricks raises $4B in fresh funding at a staggering $134 billion valuation, signaling just how aggressively investors are betting on enterprise AI. The new round answers several questions dominating search and industry chatter right now: Is the IPO market really back? Do late-stage startups still need to go public to grow? And which AI infrastructure companies are winning the enterprise race? Databricks’ latest raise suggests private capital remains abundant for elite AI players, especially those delivering real revenue, not hype. Coming just months after its last valuation jump, the deal underscores how central data platforms have become to the generative AI boom. For Databricks, staying private appears to be a strategic advantage, not a delay tactic. The company is using scale, speed, and deep-pocketed investors to outgrow public-market expectations before ever filing paperwork.
