Tessell, the leading next-generation multi-cloud database-as-a-service (DBaaS) that enables enterprises and startups to accelerate database, data, and application modernization journeys at scale, is announcing the results of its Series B funding round, having raised $60 million—bringing its total funding to $94 million. This funding will be utilized to advance Tessell’s go-to-market expansion and AI R&D for its fully managed, multi-cloud database platform.
Tessell’s platform is engineered to address the rampant challenges of managing enterprise databases in the cloud—namely its tendency to be an outdated and expensive process.
Tessell’s modern cloud database platform is designed for AI apps, offering vector extensions to popular DB engines as well as conversational query capabilities. As a high-performance, scalable database—which is compatible with PostgreSQL and MySQL—Tessell’s platform further centralizes multi-cloud management into a single control plane, transforming database management in the cloud with significant TCO reduction, according to Tessell.
“Enterprises today struggle with siloed data and rigid database solutions that are incomplete, lacking performance, resilience, governance, and flexibility,” said Bala Kuchibhotla, co-founder and CEO of Tessell. “At Tessell, we are redefining cloud data management by creating a seamless, secure, high-performant AI-driven platform that supports both operational and analytical workloads—powering a true data ecosystem. This funding enables us to scale faster and continue pioneering the future of enterprise data management.”
Tessell’s database platform offers a comprehensive data ecosystem, connecting mission-critical operational data with analytical and decision-making systems, such as data lakes and warehouses. Zero RPO/RTO high availability and disaster recovery, paired with enterprise-grade security and compliance, ensures operations remain uninterrupted and secure, according to the company.
“We could not be more excited to partner with Tessell to build the next generational data platform,” said Sumir Chadha, co-founder and managing partner at WestBridge Capital. “Prior to Tessell, few companies could challenge incumbents in database management despite their inefficiencies. Now, enterprises are shifting to Tessell for a high-performing and cost-effective solution, spending less time managing their databases and creating more business value.”
Outside of its advancements in the cloud database and data ecosystem space, Tessell is shaping its solutions with the AI and Conversational Data Management (CoDaM)—a conversational interface for managing and interacting with data. The company’s funding will accelerate this AI development, aiming to make its solutions more accessible, intelligent, and interactive, according to Tessell.
“We are just getting started,” continued Kuchibhotla. “This funding marks a major milestone, but it’s only the beginning of our journey. The future of enterprise data management is being rewritten, and we’re excited to be a part of that driving force. We will make it ‘Conversational’, ‘Affordable,’ and ‘Prescriptive,’ defying CAP theorem for enterprise data management. With AI at the core of our platform, we’re making data more accessible, more powerful, and more intuitive than ever before. The opportunities ahead are limitless, and we can’t wait to continue pushing the boundaries of what’s possible for our customers.”
