DataBahn.ai, a FinTech focused on building security-native data pipeline platforms for modern enterprise workloads, has announced the completion of a $17m Series A funding round.
The investment was led by Forgepoint Capital, with participation from S3 Ventures and returning investor GTM Capital, bringing DataBahn.ai’s total capital raised to $19m.
The company specialises in providing enterprises with an AI-powered data fabric that helps organisations integrate, govern and optimise data pipelines seamlessly across security, observability, IoT/OT and AI ecosystems.
Its technology goes beyond traditional log movement by using Phantom agents to collect telemetry without the typical footprint and compute bloat, while parsing, enriching and reducing noise at scale.
With the fresh funding, DataBahn.ai plans to accelerate its platform roadmap, focusing on agentic AI to automate data engineering tasks and prepare enterprises for scalable AI operations. The funding will also support its global expansion as the company establishes itself as a trusted provider for enterprises seeking clarity and control over their data infrastructure.
DataBahn.ai CEO Nanda Santhana said, “Today’s enterprises don’t just need data pipelines; they need intelligent fabrics that adapt, govern and optimize data at scale.
“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.”
Ernie Bio, managing director at Forgepoint Capital, has joined the board of directors as part of the investment.
Bio said, “DataBahn is tackling one of the most urgent infrastructure challenges: how to manage and extract value from fragmented, fast-growing data streams. 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.”
DataBahn.ai co-founder and president Nithya Nareshkumar said, “We didn’t set out to build just another pipeline. We built DataBahn to make data work for security and IT teams—not the other way around. By combining deep domain knowledge with plug-and-play AI, we’re helping teams break through complexity and unlock insight from day one—no rewiring, no retraining.”
