Databricks shares now available to accredited investors through SeedBlink Secondaries

Rotterdam, February 28, 2025: SeedBlink, the European investment platform, announces an investment opportunity in Databricks, valued at €68.6 billion. Shares are available to accredited investors through the Secondaries platform, providing access to one of the most significant companies in the global technology ecosystem.

Founded in 2013 by the creators of Apache Spark, including Matei Zaharia and Ion Stoica, Databricks has quickly established itself as a cornerstone of the modern data stack. Zaharia, a professor at MIT and Stanford, serves as the company's Chief Technology Officer, while Stoica, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, serves as Executive Chairman. Together, they developed technology that has revolutionized how thousands of global companies process data and implement artificial intelligence solutions.

According to the company, Databricks serves over 10,000 organizations globally, including 60% of Fortune 500 companies, with clients including Microsoft, Apple, JPMorgan Chase, and Rivian.

The company attracted a Series J funding round in December 2024, valued at $10 billion, one of the largest AI-focused investments in history. Co-investors include Meta, Thrive Capital, QIA from Qatar, and Temasek, strengthening Databricks' position as a leader in the enterprise AI revolution.

The strategic acquisition of MosaicML for $1.4 billion has further strengthened the company's AI capabilities, expanding beyond analytics to generative AI solutions. The Databricks platform now powers critical operations across various industries – from Shell's predictive maintenance for operations worth $316 billion to Disney's content personalization for millions of users.

With the global big data and business analytics market projected to reach $684.1 billion by 2030, Databricks is strategically positioned to capture a significant portion of the enterprise AI market valued at over $1 trillion. Financial experts anticipate an IPO in 2025-2026.

SeedBlink's Secondaries platform connects pre-IPO tech innovators with forward-thinking investors. In addition to Databricks, private investors can access shares in other companies through SeedBlink, such as Koenigsegg, the Swedish hypercar manufacturer, and Epic Games, creator of the popular game Fortnite and the Unreal Engine graphics engine.
