Databricks Ventures Launches New Fund to Extend our Ecosystem Leadership

We launched Databricks Ventures in December 2021 as our strategic investment arm for funding innovative startups across the data, analytics and AI landscape โ€” companies that shared our view on the importance of open platforms and ecosystems. Since then, via the inaugural Lakehouse Fund, weโ€™ve invested in more than 25 amazing companies that are building on or extending the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform. The result has been a stronger ecosystem, with our portfolio companies delivering best-in-class product experiences for our joint customers.

Today, weโ€™re excited to announce the Databricks AI Fund, the second fund at Databricks Ventures. Just as software ate the world, we believe AI is now eating software. As such, the pace of change in the AI ecosystem has dramatically accelerated. The era of AI in the enterprise has arrived, and our new AI Fund embodies Databricks Venturesโ€™ commitment to supporting a new generation of founders and startups in this critically important ecosystem.

To bolster the ecosystem around the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform, we will be aggressively seeking out investments in innovative, early- to growth-stage startups that are utilizing or enabling AI in innovative ways on top of or alongside our platform. These companies will share our vision for an open ecosystem and our commitment to using the power of data intelligence for the benefit of our joint customers.
