Yugabyte: Funding, Investors & Team (Aug 2026)

Yugabyte is the company behind YugabyteDB, the high-performance distributed SQL database for building global, internet-scale apps. It is built using a unique combination of the high-performance document store, auto sharding, per-shard distributed consensus replication, and multi-shard ACID transactions (inspired by Google Spanner). YugabyteDB serves both scale-out RDBMS and internet-scale OLTP workloads with low query latency, extreme resilience against failures, and global data distribution. As a cloud-native database, it can be deployed across public and private clouds as well as in Kubernetes environments with ease. YugabyteDB is fully open-source under the Apache 2.0 license. It was founded in 2016 and is headquartered in Sunnyvale, California.

About FundedIQ's Yugabyte Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for Yugabyte is left off this page rather than filled in.
