About
Based in the Netherlands, and founded in 2020, Polars BV provides a DataFrame library for Rust and Python. The company was founded by Ritchie Vink. In September 2025, Polars BV raised EUR 18 million in series A funding led by new investor Accel, with participation from returning investor Bain Capital. Individual investors also participated in the round.
The business provides an in-memory query engine and DataFrame framework. It also offers embarrassingly parallel execution, cache-efficient algorithms, and an expressive API, making it ideal for quick APIs, efficient data wrangling, and much more. The company plans to utilize the September 2025 funding to expand its engineering team, improve Polars Cloud, and refine go-to-market strategies.
