there's at least $168m being poured into vector db's this year.

recent vector database fundraises:

- Chroma - $18M seed https://www.trychroma.com/blog/seed

- Weaviate - $50m A https://www.theinformation.com/articles/index-ventures-leads...

- Pinecone - $100M B




- Qdrant - $7.5m seed https://qdrant.tech/articles/seed-round/


i had a feeling i missed something.. thanks!


Zilliz also raised $60M, although it was last year before the ChatGPT hype. https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20220824005057/en/Vec...


Not recent, but the company that runs on top of milvus: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20220824005057/en/Vec...


Imo the most advanced vector DB out there is Vespa https://vespa.ai/.

Harder to set up than wrappers like Chroma, but very powerful.


what makes it most advanced/when do you need something like Vespa vs the newer options
