Databricks

Databricks is a data and AI company founded in 2013 by the original creators of Apache Spark, Delta Lake, MLflow, and Unity Catalog. Headquartered in San Francisco, it pioneered the lakehouse architecture, which unifies data warehousing and data lakes into a single open platform.

Its Data Intelligence Platform is used by more than 20,000 organizations worldwide, including roughly 70 percent of the Fortune 500, for data engineering, analytics, machine learning, and generative AI workloads, supported by a partner network of over 1,200 cloud, ISV, and consulting partners.

Databricks has raised approximately 20.2 billion dollars across 14 funding rounds. Its December 2025 Series L round valued the company at 134 billion dollars, led by Insight Partners, Fidelity, and J.P. Morgan Asset Management.
