Nvidia-backed data and AI solutions provider Databricks revealed on Tuesday that it has signed a term sheet for a new Series K financing round that values the company at over $100 billion. 

The new capital is expected to accelerate the company’s AI ambitions, including expansion of its Agent Bricks platform, further investment in Lakebase, its new AI‑optimized operational database, and fueling growth abroad.

CEO Ali Ghodsi pointed to the surging investor enthusiasm for AI tools that empower enterprises to convert data into intelligent applications. “Databricks is benefiting from an unprecedented global demand for AI apps and agents, turning companies’ data into goldmines,” he said. 

“We’re thrilled this round is already over-subscribed and to partner with strategic, long-term investors who share our vision for the future of AI,” he added. The investment will also be used for future AI acquisition and research.
