$350m Investment for Data Management Firm ClickHouse

In San Francisco, real-time analytics and data management firm ClickHouse has announced a Series C fund raise of $350 million. This and an earlier $300m investment will be used to scale product development, support global expansion, and deepen technology partnerships.

ClickHouse offers an open-source columnar database management system built for high performance, real-time data processing and analytics at scale - and described by the company as 'ideal for applications that demand instant insight from massive volumes of data', including a new wave of AI agents. The firm serves more than 2,000 customers across a range of industries from fintech and transportation to consumer and healthcare.

The round was led by Khosla Ventures, with participation from new investors BOND, IVP, Battery Ventures and Bessemer Venture Partners, as well as existing investors including Index Ventures, Lightspeed, GIC, Benchmark, Coatue, FirstMark, and Nebius.

CEO Aaron Katz (pictured) comments: 'As AI agents proliferate across data-driven applications, observability, data infrastructure, and beyond, the demand for agent-facing databases like ClickHouse has reached an inflection point. The future of analytics isn't just dashboards. It's intelligent agents that interpret data, trigger workflows, and power real-time decisions. But AI is just one driver. We designed and built ClickHouse from day one to support a broad spectrum of real-time data applications across industries, and our momentum reflects that enterprises are hungry for a platform that can keep up with their scaling ambitions.'
