Overview

Supabase provides the "back end" that applications need: a Postgres database, user authentication, file storage, real-time updates, serverless functions and vector search for AI features, all set up in minutes. Developers often describe it as an open-source alternative to Google's Firebase. Because it is built on Postgres, the world's most popular open-source database, apps aren't locked into a proprietary system, and Supabase's core code is open source and can be self-hosted.

Paul Copplestone, the CEO, and Ant Wilson founded Supabase in 2020. They went through Y Combinator and built a remote-first company with employees in more than 50 countries. Supabase's growth exploded with the rise of AI coding tools, which frequently choose it as the default database for the apps they create.

Why AI coding drove growth

When an AI tool such as Lovable, Bolt, Replit, Claude Code or Codex builds an app, it needs somewhere to store data and manage users. Supabase's simple setup, good documentation and generous free tier made it the default choice for many of these tools. In June 2026, Supabase said database launches had grown 600% in a year, that more than 60% of new databases were launched through an AI tool, and that growth had accelerated since January with Claude Code and Codex. Nearly 10 million developers now build on the platform, more than double the figure at its previous raise.

How Supabase makes money

Supabase offers a free tier for small projects, paid plans for production apps, and usage-based charges for computing, storage and bandwidth. Enterprise customers pay for higher limits, support and compliance. "Supabase for Platforms", which lets other companies, including AI app builders, create and manage databases for their own users at scale, was its fastest-growing product in the year to mid-2026. Supabase doesn't publish revenue, so we show it as not disclosed.

Funding

• 2025: several rounds as growth took off, including a US$100 million Series E in October 2025 at a US$5 billion valuation.
• June 2026, Series F: US$500 million at a US$10 billion pre-money valuation, US$10.5 billion post-money, led by GIC. All existing investors participated, Stripe invested a second time, and Georgian and Salesforce Ventures joined.

Supabase said the money would accelerate its open-source Postgres tools, support growth and provide liquidity for employees. The company has an unusually employee-friendly equity policy: staff can sell up to 25% of their vested shares in each round, and they have ten years to exercise options even after leaving.

Open source and Postgres

Supabase contributes heavily to the Postgres ecosystem. It is developing Multigres, a project to bring horizontal scaling to Postgres, with an early alpha released as open source in 2026, and OrioleDB, a new storage engine aimed at performance. Open source builds trust with developers and reduces lock-in fears, which helps adoption. The business challenge is converting free and self-hosted users into paying customers, which Supabase does by making its hosted service the easiest way to run the stack.

Competitive landscape

Supabase competes with Google's Firebase, managed Postgres services from AWS, Google Cloud and Microsoft, newer Postgres companies such as Neon (acquired by Databricks), and other backend platforms. Its advantages are its developer experience, open-source credibility, breadth of features, and its position as the default backend for AI app builders.

Snapshot

Supabase is an open-source Postgres development platform founded in 2020 by Paul Copplestone and Ant Wilson. It raised a US$500 million Series F at US$10.5 billion post-money in June 2026, led by GIC, roughly doubling its valuation from a US$5 billion Series E in October 2025. Nearly 10 million developers use it, and more than 60% of new databases are created through AI tools.

Distribution through other platforms

A notable feature of Supabase's growth is that much of it comes indirectly. When an AI app builder chooses Supabase as its default database, every app created on that builder can become a Supabase project. That gives Supabase enormous reach with little marketing spend, but it also concentrates risk: if a major AI tool switches to a competitor or builds its own database, growth could slow. Supabase for Platforms is designed to make itself the easiest choice for these partners.

Employee equity as a recruiting tool

Supabase's policies, allowing regular share sales, giving long exercise windows and not adjusting pay by location, are designed to attract talent worldwide. Most startups give departing employees only 90 days to exercise options, which can force people to pay large sums or lose their equity. Longer windows and regular liquidity make startup equity more valuable to employees. Our guide to employee option pools explains how this equity works.

Questions for teams choosing a backend

• Can you move your data and code elsewhere if needed?
• How do costs scale as your app's users and data grow?
• Does it offer the security and compliance features your industry requires?

Testing a real workload on the free tier before committing is an easy way to answer most of these questions in practice, before any money is spent.

Looking forward

Watch the production readiness of Multigres and OrioleDB, growth of Supabase for Platforms, revenue disclosures, competition from cloud providers, and any further funding or IPO steps.

Practical points

Developers get a fast way to start with standard Postgres underneath. AI tool builders can use it to provision databases for their users. Investors should weigh fast growth against dependence on AI app builders for distribution.

Latest developments (October 2026)

Supabase raised a US$500 million Series F at a US$10.5 billion valuation in June 2026, led by GIC with existing investors including Accel, Y Combinator, Felicis, Peak XV and Coatue, plus Stripe and Salesforce Ventures, according to Orrick. The round came seven months after its Series E. Sacra estimates annual recurring revenue of about US$170 million in May 2026 and says more than 60% of new Supabase databases are now created by AI coding tools, though these are not company figures.
