Values Oxylabs at approximately $3.6 billion
Oxylabs, a leading data infrastructure platform, today announced a $130 million investment from Warburg Pincus, the pioneer of global growth investing, valuing the company at $3.6 billion. The investment is being made by the Warburg Pincus Capital Solutions Founders Fund (“WPCS FF”). As a leading data infrastructure provider for AI and agentic applications, Oxylabs will leverage this investment to further extend its competitive advantage and accelerate the development of next-generation products and capabilities.
“The next generation of AI won’t be powered by static indexes that only capture yesterday’s internet. As AI agents begin to navigate the web far more than humans ever have, the future belongs to the live infrastructure that grounds these systems in real-time, interruption free knowledge. This is exactly what Oxylabs has spent the last decade building as a responsible, compliant, and ethical operator — infrastructure that already serves many uses, and that this new era depends on,” said Vytautas Savickas, Chief Executive Officer, Oxylabs. “With Warburg Pincus, we will build on our lead in agentic web search infrastructure and product development, and continue executing our long-term strategy.”
“We have proven our ability to execute as the leader in data infrastructure platforms with our portfolio of leading Fortune 500 and AI company customers. As we continue to scale our platform, we will focus on expanding and strengthening our global network, further advancing our technology, and delivering even greater value to our customers around the world,” added Jurgis Gabrielius Rudgalvis, Chief Financial Officer, Oxylabs.
“Oxylabs has established itself as a leader in web intelligence through its sophisticated technology and expansive network,” said Allison Ross, Principal, Warburg Pincus. “We are excited to support the Oxylabs team as they continue to expand their offering to help their blue-chip customers access and unlock data-driven insights.”
Oxylabs is a leading global data infrastructure platform purpose-built for the AI era, providing foundational components of the search and web intelligence ecosystem and the next generation of AI models, agents, and enterprise systems.

From its origins as a premium proxy service, the company is evolving into a full-stack web-data infrastructure platform that empowers AI systems to reliably access, interpret, and act on the open web at scale while delivering trusted, structured data to leading Fortune 500 companies.
