Databricks Acquires Spreadsheet Startup Row Zero, Continues Acquisition Spree

Databricks has acquired Row Zero, a startup that develops cloud-based spreadsheet software, according to reports.

The acquisition adds to a series of purchases Databricks has made throughout 2026 as the company continues to expand its portfolio of data and analytics tools.

Row Zero's spreadsheet technology is expected to be integrated into Databricks' existing suite of products, though specific details about the terms of the deal or integration plans have not been disclosed.

Databricks has reportedly continued to scout for additional startups to acquire, suggesting further deals may be announced in the coming months as the company pursues a broader growth strategy.

The data analytics and artificial intelligence sector has seen a wave of consolidation in recent years, with established companies acquiring smaller startups to add capabilities and talent rather than building them internally.
