Two hot takes on one story that caught my eye on Tuesday.
💰 + 📊 No matter what you think is an impressive raise in the past... this tops them all. Amazing.
💰 + 🤖 When you consider how important it will be for the next wave of data-driven business to embrace embeddings of actionable intelligence — it highlights why the need to extract actionable insights is critical. If the rest of the 2020s play out to favor the companies that make better informed and timely data-driven decisions, it is likely Databricks will play an outsized role in the success of those companies that utilize these capabilities to their advantage.
