Higher value
Last year, when the company raised 400 million dollars in a funding round, it was valued at 6.2 billion dollars. Bloomberg’s sources indicate that the company is aiming for a significantly higher price than that.
Databricks plans to enter the stock market in the first half of 2021. According to the sources, these plans can still change. A Databricks representative declined to answer Bloomberg’s questions.
