Edelbyte disclosed $70 million across seed and Series A rounds on November 11 as it emerged from stealth with software designed to reduce the cost of searching and analyzing corporate data. The startup targets AI agents, whose automated investigations can produce far more database queries than human users, according to seed investor Sequoia Capital.
The latest financing is a $45 million Series A led by Quiet Capital, following a $25 million seed led by Sequoia. CTech reported that the Series A valued Edelbyte at $500 million. Greenoaks and Swish Ventures backed the seed, and existing investors joined the new round.
For enterprise developers, Edelbyte puts text search, analytics and geographic queries on one platform, aiming to reduce the need to copy data between separate systems. Customers can use a managed service or run it themselves, including in their own data centers.
Edelbyte says it already handles petabytes of data for Fortune 500 businesses and that some customers run ten times as many queries for the same budget. Its disclosed customer sectors include information security, car manufacturing and financial services.
Founded in November 2025, Edelbyte brings together CEO Avner Aharoni and three Microsoft colleagues who worked on Kusto, the technology behind Azure Data Explorer and several Microsoft security products. The company has about 40 employees and plans to expand its research, development and sales teams as it grows internationally.
