That's a 42% jump from where it stood six months ago. Databricks says its revenue run-rate has passed $7 billion, growing more than 80% year over year. The round lands days after CEO Ali Ghodsi said 2026 is a bad year to take the company public.\n\nPrivate capital keeps flowing to AI-adjacent infrastructure companies at valuations that would make most public-market investors blink. Databricks can raise billions without the scrutiny, reporting requirements, or stock-price volatility that come with an IPO - and as long as growth stays above 80%, backers seem happy to keep writing checks instead of pushing for an exit.\n\nA 42% valuation bump in six months is the kind of number that only makes sense in a market still betting the AI buildout has years left to run.","[\"databricks\",\"funding\",\"valuation\",\"ai infrastructure\"]","2026-08-13T21:03:39.000Z","2026-08-14T18:24:06.967Z","2026-08-14T18:24:18.666Z","published",null,[],"startups",[26,27,28,29],"databricks","funding","valuation","ai infrastructure",[31],{"name":32,"url":33},"The Next Web","https:\u002F\u002Fthenextweb.com\u002Fnews\u002Fdatabricks-closes-5-billion-round-at-190-billion-valuation",0,{"sections":36},[37,42,46,51,56,61,66,71,76,81,85,90,95,100],{"name":38,"slug":39,"count":40,"latest_published_at":41},"AI","ai",3293,"2026-08-20T04:00:00.000Z",{"name":43,"slug":44,"count":45,"latest_published_at":41},"Security","security",435,{"name":47,"slug":48,"count":49,"latest_published_at":50},"Policy","policy",210,"2026-08-19T09:32:27.000Z",{"name":52,"slug":53,"count":54,"latest_published_at":55},"Deals","deals",179,"2026-06-29T20:02:07.000Z",{"name":57,"slug":58,"count":59,"latest_published_at":60},"Hardware","hardware",140,"2026-08-19T18:25:42.000Z",{"name":62,"slug":63,"count":64,"latest_published_at":65},"Consumer Tech","consumer-tech",95,"2026-08-18T16:05:00.000Z",{"name":67,"slug":68,"count":69,"latest_published_at":70},"Science","science",90,"2026-08-19T18:41:02.000Z",{"name":72,"slug":73,"count":74,"latest_published_at":75},"Software","software",73,"2026-08-18T07:51:50.000Z",{"name":77,"slug":78,"count":79,"latest_published_at":80},"Dev Tools","dev-tools",69,"2026-08-18T04:00:00.000Z",{"name":82,"slug":24,"count":83,"latest_published_at":84},"Startups",47,"2026-08-19T19:13:46.000Z",{"name":86,"slug":87,"count":88,"latest_published_at":89},"Gaming","gaming",41,"2026-07-09T04:00:00.000Z",{"name":91,"slug":92,"count":93,"latest_published_at":94},"General","general",33,"2026-08-18T22:18:13.000Z",{"name":96,"slug":97,"count":98,"latest_published_at":99},"Reviews","reviews",20,"2026-06-24T12:00:01.000Z",{"name":101,"slug":102,"count":103,"latest_published_at":104},"How-To","how-to",6,"2026-06-16T09:00:00.000Z"]
