Stuttgart & Berlin, Germany – Bosch Ventures, the corporate venture capital company of the Bosch Group, is participating in Qdrant’s USD 50 million Series B financing round. The round, led by AVP and joined by international co-investors, underscores the growing importance of AI infrastructure for business-critical applications such as multimodal search and AI agent systems.

Next-Generation Vector Database for Production AI systems

As artificial intelligence moves from pilot projects into operational deployment, fast and precise access to relevant data is becoming a key success factor. Qdrant has developed a highly powerful search technology designed for large-scale datasets. Built from the ground up in the Rust programming language, the solution enables companies to search extremely large and complex datasets in real time in the cloud, in hybrid infrastructures, in their own data centers, or directly on devices and machines at the edge. The result is a search engine that adapts to the use case rather than forcing the use case to adapt to the search engine. “Whether a team prioritizes maximum accuracy, lowest latency, or cost efficiency at scale, Qdrant provides the controls needed to achieve those goals,”
says André Zayarni, CEO and co-founder of Qdrant. As an open-source solution, Qdrant benefits from a global developer community while also offering companies transparency, flexibility, and technological independence.

“In commercial AI applications, the ability to reliably retrieve context-relevant information in real time has become mission-critical infrastructure,” says Ingo Ramesohl, Managing Director of Bosch Ventures. “Qdrant’s cutting-edge, Rust-based architecture exemplifies the type of deep-tech innovation that we believe will shape the next generation of powerful and trustworthy AI systems. We are excited to support the team on its continued growth journey.”

Proven in production and Scaled Globally

Companies including Tripadvisor, OpenTable, Bayer, Deutsche Telekom, and Bosch rely on Qdrant when vector search must run reliably and efficiently under real-world conditions. The open-source project has more than 250 million downloads and over 28,000 stars on GitHub. Its global developer community continuously advances the platform based on real production requirements. Qdrant has also been recognized in several industry reports, including The Forrester Wave™: Vector Databases, Q3 2024; GigaOm Radar for Vector Databases v3 (2025) and Sifted’s 2025 B2B SaaS Rising 100.
