Supabase Raises $150 Million and Buys Turso, With No Valuation, No Price and an Employee Share Left Unquantified

Supabase announced on October 2 that it raised $150 million, led by Singapore's GIC, and agreed to buy Turso, a SQLite-based database startup, for an undisclosed sum. Neither the valuation nor the price was disclosed, and part of the $150 million goes to employees instead of the company.

Both transactions are announced, not closed, and the coverage fetched for this story does not say when the Turso deal completes.

What the $150 million contains

SiliconANGLE reports that Supabase will use the funds to provide employee liquidity and to build new A.I. agent features. Pulse 2.0 says part of the round provides employee liquidity and gives no amount for that share. That makes $150 million a ceiling on new company capital, not the figure itself.

GIC led. Alphabet's CapitalG, IronArc and SquarePeg participated. Derek Zanutto, a general partner at CapitalG, is quoted calling Supabase "the critical open infrastructure layer powering the AI revolution".

The previous round was a $500 million Series F about four months earlier. No valuation is given for either round in the two articles, so no implied multiple can be calculated.

The growth numbers Supabase gave

Pulse 2.0 relays company figures: more than 1 million new users and 4 million new databases a month, with about 70 percent of new databases created by agents or A.I.-driven tools. At 4 million, that is about 2.8 million agent-created databases a month and 1.2 million made by other routes.

2. Created by other routes1.2 M

The same article says databases grew 600 percent year over year as reported in June, and that Supabase, founded in 2020, has more than 13 million developers and more than 100 integrated partner tools. All of these are company figures. A database created by an agent in a prototype is not a paying customer, and neither article gives a revenue number.

Paul Copplestone, Supabase's co-founder and chief executive, wrote in a blog post that "Agents are spinning up millions of databases to power the prototypes, explorations, dashboards, and apps they're building."

Why Turso, and what carries over

Turso is built on SQLite and aimed at agent workloads. SiliconANGLE says it supports embeddings and encrypts each database page differently, that its core features are free, and that it makes money from a paid cloud version. Pulse 2.0 lists Superhuman, Sauna.ai, CTO.new and Mastra as customers.

Glauber Costa, Turso's founder, joins Supabase as Head of Agentic Services, and co-founder Pekka Enberg and the Turso team come with him, per Pulse 2.0. SiliconANGLE adds that Supabase introduced Supabase Compute the same day, hosted sandboxes for long-running agents, and that Turso's technology could strengthen it.

The open question is what happens to Turso's free core, because neither article says whether Supabase will keep those features free. Other developer-tool deals have carried their own fine print: see our coverage of Deno joining Cloudflare and of the Unison Cloud licence change.

What would settle it

Supabase has given no closing date and no Turso price, so the next confirmation is either a completion announcement or a later round that states the figure. Until then, the Turso repository's licence and release cadence are the observable signs of what changes.
