DataBahn.ai, creator of a security-native data pipeline platform built for modern enterprise workloads, today announced a $17 million Series A funding round led by Forgepoint Capital, with participation from S3 Ventures and returning backer GTM Capital. This brings the company’s total funding to $19 million, enabling acceleration of its product roadmap and global expansion efforts.

The funding will support further development of DataBahn’s agentic AI architecture—autonomous agents that learn from enterprise data flows to automate data engineering tasks—and help position the company as the foundation for next-gen enterprise data infrastructure.

Purpose-built for the complexity of security, observability, IoT/OT, and AI data flows, the DataBahn platform enables enterprises to dynamically integrate, govern, and optimize telemetry pipelines across environments—with one-click simplicity and AI-native intelligence. Its lightweight Phantom agents eliminate traditional agent bloat while preserving compute resources.

“Today’s enterprises don’t just need data pipelines; they need intelligent fabrics that adapt, govern and optimize data at scale,” said Nanda Santhana, co-founder and CEO of DataBahn.ai. “We’re building the foundation for a new era of observability, one where data is not just moved, but understood, enriched and made AI-ready in real time.”

Customers like CSL Behring have reported transformative impact, citing over 50% cost reductions in telemetry processing and the elimination of data blind spots across SIEM and observability stacks. “Our journey with DataBahn has turned data from a cost center into a strategic asset,” said Greg Stewart, senior director of cybersecurity at CSL Behring.

The platform’s federated search, advanced enrichment, and noise suppression capabilities enable faster threat detection, predictive analytics, and actionable business insights—without requiring SQL expertise or additional rewiring. As data volumes are projected to soar past 394 zettabytes by 2028, solutions like DataBahn are increasingly critical.

As part of the Series A round, Ernie Bio, managing director at Forgepoint Capital, has joined the DataBahn.ai board of directors. “DataBahn is tackling one of the most urgent infrastructure challenges: how to manage and extract value from fragmented, fast-growing data streams,” said Bio. “What’s truly rare is the customer enthusiasm. We heard consistent praise for the platform’s rapid ROI, forward-looking innovation and the team’s responsiveness—qualities that separate great companies from the rest.”
