Databricks has discussed raising fresh funding at a valuation of $165B–$175B, with a new round potentially starting as soon as next month, according to The Information.
The company surpassed a $5.4B revenue run rate in February 2026, up 65% year-over-year, with AI products alone generating $1.4B in annualised revenue.
The round would follow Databricks’ $7B+ raise at a $134B valuation in February 2026 and come as CEO Ali Ghodsi signals a potential IPO as early as 2027.
In August 2025, Databricks was valued at $100 billion. In December 2025, it was valued at $134 billion. Four months later, it closed a $7B+ round at that same valuation.
Now, according to The Information, it is in discussions for a new round that could value it at up to $175 billion. That pace tells you less about Databricks’ underlying business and more about how much capital is chasing the infrastructure layer of the AI economy.
