AI startup Anaconda raises $150 million in Series C funding led by Insight Partners

AI startup Anaconda has secured over $150 million in Series C funding, led by Insight Partners, with additional participation from Mubadala Capital. This significant investment comes as enterprises increasingly adopt open-source tools for AI development. The funding round values the startup at $1.5 billion, according to Bloomberg News [2].

Anaconda, known for its open-source Python software for data science and AI, has been a trusted platform for enterprises. The company's AI Platform and recent partnership with Databricks further solidify its position in the market. The fresh capital will support product development, potential acquisitions, and international expansion, as well as provide liquidity for employees [1].

The funding round highlights the growing demand for open-source tools in the enterprise AI sector, driven by the increasing adoption of Python as the primary programming language for AI development. U.S. startup funding has surged by 75.6% in the first half of 2025, with AI investments leading the charge [2].

Anaconda's leadership team has been strengthened with seasoned executives, including Laura Sellers as Chief Product and Technology Officer, Jane Kim as Chief Commercial Officer, and Barry Russell as Senior Vice President of Partnerships. These additions bring extensive experience in scaling enterprise technology organizations and product innovation [1].

Looking ahead, Anaconda aims to expand its role beyond package management to become a comprehensive model hub for AI building blocks, further enhancing its offerings for enterprise Python development. The company continues to position itself as a gold standard for AI innovation in the enterprise sector [1].
