Edelbyte has raised US$70 million in Seed and Series A funding led by Sequoia and Quiet Capital. Greenoaks and Swish Ventures also participated. The company emerged from stealth with a search and analytics platform built for AI-driven workloads.


Early traction

The company is already working with leading Fortune 500 customers. It runs petabyte-scale deployments. The company is taking on a US$300 billion market currently dominated by Snowflake, Databricks, and ClickHouse.

Founding team

Edelbyte was founded in 2025 by the team behind Microsoft's Kusto. Avner Aharoni is CEO, Evgeney Ryzhyk is CTO, Alexander Sloutsky is VP of Engineering, and Yoni Leibowitz is VP Platform Engineering. The company is based in Tel Aviv and San Francisco.

What the platform does

The platform combines analytics with governed data access. It runs in public or private clouds and on-premises, with managed and self-hosted options. The company reports that customers migrating from legacy systems are seeing lower costs and, in some cases, ten times as many queries within the same budget.


Edelbyte is now focused on expanding its enterprise customer base. It plans to grow its international presence. It is also strengthening its team to support continued global growth.
