Lambda Raises $4B Before Planned IPO

AI cloud provider Lambda is raising up to $4 billion at a $14.5 billion pre-money valuation, according to The Wall Street Journal. Coatue Management and Blackstone are leading the round, which could be Lambda's last private funding before a planned 2027 IPO. The company's backlog grew from $15 billion in June to $50 billion in September, driven largely by a $35 billion commitment from Anthropic. Lambda recently secured an additional $1 billion in debt to fund data center buildouts. The company had reportedly considered an IPO this year but delayed amid market uncertainty. If it goes public, it will join other Nvidia-backed neoclouds like CoreWeave and Nebius.

Databricks, a US data and AI company, has closed a $5 billion strategic funding round at a $190 billion valuation, according to a company announcement. The round was led by Coatue, with participation from Blackstone, MGX, T. Rowe Price, Sixth Street Growth, and other new and existing investors. Databricks said it surpassed a $7 billion revenue run-rate in Q2 2026, growing more than 80% year-over-year. Its Lakehouse product is at a run-rate above $1.5 billion, growing over 100% annually. More than 1,000 customers spend over $1 million a year. The company plans to use fresh capital for its agent business, including Lakebase and Unity AI Gateway. CEO Ali Ghodsi says AI cost pressure, rather than AI euphoria, is driving demand. Despite its size, Databricks remains private and is postponing an IPO due to public market distractions.
