DataBahn.ai Raises $17M Series A To Advance Security-Native Data Pipelines
DataBahn.ai, a leader in AI-powered, security-native data pipeline platforms for modern enterprises, has secured $17 million in Series A funding led by Forgepoint Capital, with participation from S3 Ventures and GTM Capital. This brings the company’s total funding to $19 million. Crowell represented Forgepoint Capital, a leading venture capital firm that partners with transformative cybersecurity, artificial intelligence and infrastructure software companies protecting the digital future, in the transaction. The investment will accelerate DataBahn.ai’s product roadmap for agentic AI—autonomous agents that automate data engineering tasks—and support global expansion as the company cements its position as a trusted foundation for enterprise data pipelines. Already trusted by Fortune 50 and Global 2000 organizations, DataBahn.ai’s technology has helped customers reduce telemetry processing costs by over 50%, automate most data engineering workloads, and eliminate blind spots across SIEM, observability, and AI pipelines.
