SQL data lakehouse company Dremio has closed a $160 million series E funding round, bringing the company’s valuation to $2 billion.
The preemptive fundraising round, led by Adams Street Partners, comes soon after its $135 million round last year led by Sapphire Ventures just one year ago. Total funding is now $410 million. The investment will help Dremio accelerate its technology innovation, grow its customer-facing organisation, contribute to open-source initiatives, and invest heavily in educating and enabling a growing community of data lake practitioners.

With this investment, it says it is poised for hypergrowth in the years to come.
