DualBird

The company's core product is a hardware-software engine that utilizes rewritable hardware, like Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), to speed up data workloads by 10 to 100 times while aiming to reduce infrastructure costs by 50% to 90%. This technology is delivered through a lightweight plug-in that integrates with existing systems, such as Apache Spark and Amazon EMR, without requiring clients to rearchitect their workflows or migrate data. The platform is designed to eliminate manual tuning, reduce data shuffles, and optimize performance for data-intensive tasks, including the retraining of AI models.

DualBird targets enterprise data engineering teams, AI developers, and organizations in sectors like finance, healthcare, and e-commerce that have robust data handling needs. The business operates on a subscription-based (SaaS) model, with usage-based pricing options available. In November 2025, the company announced it had raised a combined $25 million in Seed and Series A funding. The round was led by Lightspeed Venture Partners, with participation from Bessemer Venture Partners, Uncork Capital, and Angular Ventures. This capital is intended to expand its sales and customer success teams in preparation for a general availability launch planned for early 2026.
