This Series K round follows a Series J round seven months prior. That earlier round, combined with a $5.25 billion debt instrument, valued Databricks at $62 billion. The company raised $10 billion in that Series J round.

Databricks recently expanded partnerships with Microsoft and Google Cloud.

The company serves over 15,000 customers.
