Databricks, a company that emerged from a small research lab, has achieved a valuation of $43 billion. Initially, the founders aimed to raise between $300,000 and $400,000 in seed funding to develop their product over a year.

This shift highlights the critical role that investors can play in shaping the vision and scale of startup companies.
