Supabase raises $150M, buys Turso to chase the agent database boom
What's the deal? Supabase has raised $150 million in growth equity led by GIC, with CapitalG, IronArc, and SquarePegDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom → participating. The open source Postgres platform also said it is acquiring TursoDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom →, a database company built for agentic workloads.
Why now? The round lands just four months after Supabase'US$366.7M Series F, as AI coding tools drive another spike in demand. The company now adds more than 1 million users and 4 million databases a month — with 70% of new databases created by agents or AI-driven tools.
What's the endgame? Supabase wants to be the first place developers and agents turn for backend support. "The future is agents and the architecture Turso provides will help us accelerate Supabase as the backend platform for supporting that future," said co-founder and chief executive officer Paul Copplestone.
Why Turso? As agent deployments scale, platforms need to launch huge numbers of isolated databases without provisioning a dedicated machine for each. Turso's architecture enables on-demand, per-agent databases at low cost, serving customers including Superhuman and MastraDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom →. The platform will keep running, with founder Glauber Costa joining as head of agentic services.
The money's purpose. The funding will fuel product development around agent-driven databases and provide liquidity for employees — something the founders see as central to being the best company for engineers.
The raise follows a 600% year-over-year jump in databases reported in June, when agents were already deploying the majority of new databases on the platform. "We're proud to back one of the fastest growing private database companies on the planet," said Derek Zanutto, general partner at CapitalG.
The signal: At $150 million, this is a top-tier raise, ranking in roughly the 81st percentile by size — and it signals how fast capital is chasing the infrastructure beneath AI-generated software. As agents write and deploy more code, the demand is shifting from tools that help humans build to backends that let machines build at scale.
