In 2020 , when undecided reservoir databaseSupabase was founded , its New Zealand - based chief executive officer , Paul Copplestone , could n’t have imagined it would be sitting in the scented speckle for 2025 ’s biggest vogue : vibration coding .
But on Tuesday , the fruits of that became evident when itannounced a $ 200 million Series D at a $ 2 billion post - money valuationled by Accel , with Coatue , Y Combinator , Craft Ventures , and longtime investor Felicis participating in the round , Fortune report .
This invigorated $ 200 million comesjust seven month after Supabase announced it raised $ 80 millionled by Peak XV ( a Sequoia spinoff ) and David Sacks ’ Craft Ventures . Supabase would n’t comment on the rating at that clip , but PitchBook put it at about $ 900 million . All told , the startup has now raised about $ 398 million .
Supabase is another example of how commercially successful open source projects can be .
It offer an open informant version of Firebase , Google ’s database AI app developing platform , and hosts the appsfor up to $ 600 a month , or more for enterprise users .
Supabase combines the undefended source SQL database Postgres with other enterprise - grade undetermined source tools for features like authentication , auto - yield genus Apis , file computer storage , and a vector toolkit ( necessary for many AI apps ) .
Essentially , it ’s like vibration database management , ease the pesky parts of getting a SQL database go down up as part of app maturation . accordingly , it has become a popular back death for the vibe code toolslike fast - growing Lovable .

As a Y Combinator alum , Supabase has become a go - to tool for YC startup , Copplestone antecedently told TechCrunch . But it ’s really come into its own with independent and enterprise developers .
The fellowship has had “ insane growth ” especially in the last two years , Felicis managing partner Aydin Senkut tells TechCrunch . “ Its biggest plus is the biotic community of developers , which rocket past 1 million and growing by thousands every day . ”
Indeed , Supabase now claim over 1.7 million developers and the labor has over 81 thousand adept on GitHub , too .
“ It ’s becoming the default back end for AI apps and innumerable other class of apps , ” Senkut state .
Because it ’s based on Postgres , Supabase has street cred with developer that need to support thousands to millions of user . Postgres has long - been an open generator database for go-ahead developer when they do n’t need the superpowers — and high-pitched price tag — of an Oracle or Microsoft database .
Supabase goes so far as to have a selling tagline of “ build in a weekend : plate to millions . ”
While nothing will truly threaten Oracle ’s current standing — it ’s as profoundly embedded in the tech of existing Fortune 1000 companies as potential — the upgrade of Supabase is interesting to watch .
The next craw of billion - user apps will be AI - acquire , AI - power , AI - managed .
And Supabase is already one of the go - to databases for that .
