Instabase, a trailblazer in applied artificial intelligence (AI) for unstructured data, has announced the successful completion of its $100 million Series D funding round. Led by the Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), the round also saw robust participation from longstanding investors Greylock Partners, NEA, Andreessen Horowitz, and Index Ventures. This significant infusion of capital underscores the growing confidence in Instabase’s mission and its transformative impact on businesses worldwide.
Founded in 2015, Instabase has been at the forefront of unstructured data management, addressing one of the most challenging problems in enterprise data handling. Unstructured data—emails, multimedia files, PDFs, and more—accounts for an estimated 80% of a company’s content and remains beyond the reach of traditional systems. Instabase’s proprietary AI platform, AI Hub, applies advanced content understanding to unlock the potential of this data, enabling enterprises to automate, analyze, and search through their vast repositories seamlessly. This innovation not only integrates into existing systems but also empowers organizations to build agentic AI-powered processes that handle complex data workflows at scale.
The Series D funding will be directed toward further enhancing the capabilities of the AI Hub, particularly in automation, analysis, and search. Instabase has doubled its customer base since its previous funding round, seeing substantial growth within financial services while expanding its presence in healthcare, technology, and government sectors. Major players like AXA, Uber, and NatWest have adopted Instabase to support their AI-driven transformations, leveraging the platform to streamline operations and derive deeper insights from their unstructured data.
“Today’s investment reflects our partners’ continued belief in our mission and the tangible impact the Instabase platform has made for enterprises of all sizes,” said Anant Bhardwaj, Founder and CEO of Instabase. “As we progress through the AI age, companies cannot realize their AI capabilities without first harnessing and learning from the unstructured data within their organizations. With our expertise in intelligent document processing, AI agents capable of agentic reasoning, and secure workflows that keep data in its original location, Instabase is the ideal enterprise partner for navigating this transformation.”
Mohammed Al-Hardan, Head of TMT at QIA, echoed this sentiment: “AI agents are transforming the way we work today, generating new and exciting efficiencies for companies across industries. As we continue to invest across the AI stack, we are focusing more on solutions for distributed enterprises that can usher in a new era of business operations. We look forward to supporting Instabase as they scale and redefine how data is understood and leveraged.”
Instabase’s federated architecture has proven especially appealing to large organizations requiring enterprise-grade security, making it the backbone for data management in sectors where compliance and precision are critical. Today, four of the five largest U.S. banks, alongside major insurance companies, governments, and other enterprises, trust Instabase for their unstructured data needs.
With this latest funding round, Instabase is poised to cement its leadership in unstructured data management, continuing to deliver cutting-edge AI solutions that unlock untapped potential for businesses worldwide.
