Databricks said that this round of financing will focus on three products for enterprise agents: serverless Postgres database Lakebase, enterprise AI assistant Genie, and multi-model governance and cost control tool Unity AI Gateway, which respectively cover the real-time data, enterprise business context and model call management required for Agent operation. This is the second round of large-scale financing completed by Databricks within half a year. In December 2025, the company launched its last round of L-round financing and completed additional delivery in February this year, ultimately obtaining approximately US$5 billion (approximately RMB 33.85 billion) in equity financing with a valuation of US$134 billion (approximately RMB 907.2 billion). Based on this calculation, Databricks’ valuation increased by approximately 42% within half a year. Nvidia is also a historical investor in Databricks, but it did not appear on the official list of participants in this round. In September 2023, NVIDIA participated as a new strategic investor in Databricks' Series I financing of more than US$500 million (approximately RMB 3.385 billion). Databricks was co-founded in 2013 by seven professors and researchers from UC Berkeley’s AMPLab. Founding
