Can I buy shares of Databricks?

You can't buy shares of Databricks in your regular brokerage account. However, accredited investors (i.e., those with a high income or high net worth) can sometimes buy shares of pre-IPO companies like Databricks on a secondary platform like EquityBee or Forge Global. In addition, anyone can invest in the Fundrise Innovation Fund. This venture capital fund invests in pre-IPO companies, including Databricks. The minimum investment is around $10 per share.

Should I invest in Databricks?

Because Databricks isn't publicly traded, you can't invest in its stock. However, if it does complete an IPO, it could be a good investment. The company is growing its revenue fast, which helps fuel investment outperformance.

Is Databricks publicly listed?

Databricks was not publicly traded as of mid-2025, so you can't buy shares on the stock market in a brokerage account. The company has not set an IPO date.

How much is Databricks' IPO worth?

Databricks had yet to IPO as of mid-2025, so we don't yet know how much its IPO will be worth. However, the company raised fresh capital from investors in December 2024 at a $62 billion valuation. That was up from its $43 billion valuation in 2023. Given its growth potential and high demand in the private market, Databricks would likely seek an even higher valuation in an IPO.

Is Databricks going to IPO?

Databricks would eventually like to go public. However, the IPO market remained largely closed to startups in mid-2025, so the company plans to wait until market conditions improve before completing an IPO.
