LanceDB raises $30 million for multimodal AI data infrastructure

By Anna Tong SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) -Artificial intelligence data infrastructure company LanceDB raised a $30 million series A round, the company said Tuesday. The round was led by Theory Ventures, with participation from CRV, Y Combinator, Databricks Ventures and Runway. LanceDB's platform stores and processes the data that AI companies use to build advanced AI models, with a focus on multimodal AI models capable of processing and integrating various types of data including text, video, images and audio. As AI models get larger, software that helps companies manage data on cloud-based systems is increasingly important. Multimodal data sources have become more important as AI model makers have used the most easily accessible scraped data. "We are nowhere near close to being tapped out on multimodal data sources, and the next wave of AI must have sight and voice built-in," LanceDB CEO Chang She told Reuters. LanceDB's software is particularly useful for enterprises that need to store and process multimodal data like PDFs and videos to enable agentic AI workflows, where AI mimics humans to use software applications, She said. LanceDB works with AI model makers like Runway, Midjourney, World Labs, Harvey and to help manage multimodal data, the company said.

Canada's digital services tax is 'needlessly inflammatory' during trade talks with U.S.

Canada's implementation of a digital sales tax on foreign technology companies at the end of June could exacerbate tensions during key trade negotiations with the United States, say business leaders on both sides of the border. 'At this current time with a trade war and an active negotiation coming out of the G7, it just seems needlessly inflammatory,' Matthew Holmes, executive vice-president and chief of public policy at the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, said. 'We're not arguing for the government to make concessions that won't help realize a resolution to the trade conflict, but it does seem like it could lead to a worse outcome.' The digital services tax, which became law last year, applies a three per cent levy on revenue earned from digital services that rely on engagement, data and content contributions from Canadian users. It also applies to certain sales or licencing of Canadian user data. Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne last week confirmed the tax would be going ahead at the end of this month, despite it being a major U.S. trade irritant. 'This was voted on by Parliament, so we're going ahead with the DST,' he said on Thursday. On June 30, businesses will have to make their first payments retroactive to Jan. 1, 2022. Most of the revenue will be collected from U.S. tech giants. The DST was first challenged by the Joe Biden administration, with former U.S. trade representative Katherine Tai launching dispute settlement consultations under the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) last August. Since then, Donald Trump's administration has renewed its focus on what it views as unfair fines and levies on U.S. companies from foreign countries. In January, Trump also removed the U.S. from the Pillar One Reform by the Organization of Economic Co-Operation and Development that is trying to settle global taxing rights for cross-border digital services. Current U.S. trade representative Jamieson Greer also mentioned the DST in a list of trade irritants with Canada in a March 1 report on foreign trade barriers. Other countries, including France, Italy and the United Kingdom, have implemented their own digital sales taxes. The Canadian federal government and the Trump administration are currently in talks on a new economic and security deal, with a deadline of July 21. Most Canadian goods are exempted from tariffs imposed by Trump, but there remains a 25 per cent levy on cars and a 50 per cent tariff on steel and aluminum. Asked if the federal government is considering a pause on the DST in the context of trade discussions with the U.S., Champagne said 'all of that is something that we're considering as part of broader discussions.' On June 13, 21 Republican lawmakers from the U.S. House of Representatives sent a letter asking Trump to get the tax removed during trade negotiations with Canada or to retaliate if the tax is implemented. 'If Canada decides to move forward with this unprecedented, retroactive tax, it will set a terrible precedent that will have long-lasting impacts on global tax and trade practices,' the letter said. 'We are confident that any Digital Sales Tax Act collections will be met with a swift U.S. government response.' The letter said Canada's DST will cost U.S. tech companies $2 billion in retroactive taxes and $2.3 billion annually going forward. One of the signatories, Congressman Ron Estes, said the tax is discriminatory and a 'shakedown' of primarily U.S. tech companies. 'It is absurd to think that the United States would simply sit idly by while our allies retroactively target our innovators and treasury, and it is further proof that the United States must implement common sense measures like Section 899 in our recently passed House budget reconciliation bill,' Estes said in a statement. Section 899 seeks to tax foreign investment from countries Trump believes have unfair foreign taxes on American companies. The bill is currently making its way through the U.S. Senate. Graham Davies, chief executive of the Washington, D.C.-based Digital Media Association, which represents music streaming services, said the DST is coming at a time when tech companies are also being asked to pay another tax under Canada's recently passed Online Streaming Act. 'In terms of their concerns, it's the combination of having the digital services tax, which has already raised concerns in terms of the bilateral relationship between Canada and the U.S., added onto that the Online Streaming Act, which adds another five per cent in tax,' he said. Should Canada target Big Tech in trade war negotiations with the U.S.? Will Canada's Digital Services Tax survive Trump's tariffs assault? Holmes said most tech companies will end up downloading the costs of the DST onto Canadian companies that run businesses on their platforms and, ultimately, consumers. 'We have from the very beginning said this will be inflationary,' he said. 'As more businesses and as more of our lives include digital transactions, this will just add to the affordability crisis.' • Email: jgowling@ Sign in to access your portfolio
