🚨Insight VC describes Databricks’ wild $10B deal and the bad advice the CEO ignored
Databricks recently completed a record-breaking $10 billion fundraising round, attracting significant interest from investors, including Insight Partners and Thrive. The deal's valuation quickly escalated from approximately $8 billion to $10 billion, reflecting strong institutional demand for Databricks' offerings, especially in the AI and data infrastructure space.
CEO Ali Ghodsi initially sought advice from Insight's George Mathew about entering the data warehousing market, to which Mathew responded negatively. However, Ghodsi's decision to launch Databricks SQL has proven successful, positioning the company as a major competitor to Snowflake. Databricks is now on track for a $3 billion revenue run rate, highlighting its growth and the increasing relevance of high-quality data in the age of large language models.

Start with a fresh view of investing strategy. The combination of risks and fads this quarter looks to be topping. That means the future is ready to move in.Likely, there will not be a wholesale shift. Company actions will aim to benefit from economic growth, inflationary pressures and a return of market-determined interest rates. In turn, all of that should drive the stock market and investment returns higher.
Importantly, that investor viewpoint is not new. It cycles in when conditions are right (and vice versa). It also brings the ineffective warnings of an overpriced market with it.Looking toward a good 2022 stock market, there is no apparent reason to expect these issues to change.
