Supabase raises $150M led by GIC, acquires Turso to power agentic databases
TLDR
- Supabase, the open-source Postgres database platform, has raised $150 million in new funding led by Singapore's GIC, with Alphabet's CapitalG, IronArc and SquarePeg also participating.12
- Alongside the round, Supabase is acquiring Turso, a SQLite-based database startup built for lightweight, agent-spun-up workloads.12
- The raise lands just four months after Supabase's $500 million Series F, as the company says AI agents now create 70% of new databases on its platform.2
Supabase has raised $150 million in fresh funding led by GIC, Singapore's sovereign wealth fund, with participation from Alphabet's growth-stage arm CapitalG alongside IronArc and SquarePeg.1 The company announced the round alongside its acquisition of Turso, a startup building a lightweight, SQLite-based database designed for AI agents that spin up and discard data stores on the fly.1
Supabase said the new money comes just four months after its $500 million Series F, as AI coding tools and agents drive another surge in usage.2 The company says it is now adding more than 1 million users and 4 million databases a month, with 70% of new databases created by agents rather than human developers.2 Turso's SQLite-based architecture, which can spin up near-instantly on low-power hardware, is intended to let Supabase serve the throwaway, high-volume database needs of autonomous coding agents without the overhead of a full relational database.1
Why it matters: the pace of back-to-back raises, barely four months apart, signals how fast the economics of "agentic infrastructure" are moving investor money, and acquiring a smaller specialist rather than building in-house shows established developer-tools platforms racing to cover AI-agent workloads before a rival locks in the use case.
