ClickHouse, Inc., a leader in real-time analytics, data warehousing, observability, and AI/ML, is announcing that its Series C financing round—which was led by Khosla Ventures with participation from new investors BOND, IVP, Battery Ventures, and Bessemer Venture Partners—has raised $350 million. Clickhouse’s funding will be leveraged to scale product development, support global expansion, and deepen its customer and technology provider relationships.
ClickHouse offers a high-performance, columnar storage engine and analytical database designed for empowering AI and ML applications with interactive analytical queries across massive datasets with minimal latency. Rivaling traditional databases and warehouses struggling to keep up with the demand that AI—particularly, AI agents—have introduced, ClickHouse offers a purpose-built solution that merges high-performance analytics with the scalability and concurrency that AI and ML apps need.
“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,” said Aaron Katz, CEO of ClickHouse. “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.”
The company’s latest infusion of capital brings its total funding to more than $650 million—paired with a $100 million credit facility led by Stifel and Goldman Sachs. The investments in ClickHouse reflect both the company’s value prop and its accelerated momentum, having grown 300% over the past year.
“We invested in ClickHouse because they’re solving one of the most important infrastructure challenges of this era of AI and agents: enabling real-time data platforms that can support both traditional analytics and the growing demands of AI-native workloads,” said Ethan Choi, partner at Khosla Ventures. “As AI reshapes every industry, the ability to deliver fast, scalable, and cost-efficient analytics is becoming foundational, ClickHouse is poised to become the default engine for next-generation intelligent data products.”
