Supabase raises $150M at a $10.65B valuation and acquires Turso; 70% of its new databases are now created by AI agents
On Oct 2, 2026 the Postgres backend company Supabase announced a $150M round led by Singapore's GIC at a $10.65B valuation and agreed to acquire Turso, which makes lightweight SQLite-based databases aimed at AI agents. Y Combinator said 70% of new Supabase databases are now created by agents or AI-driven tools, a concrete measure of how much software infrastructure agents now provision themselves.
Key facts
- $150M led by GIC, with CapitalG, IronArc and SquarePeg; price of the Turso deal not disclosed (SiliconANGLE)
- Valuation $10.65B; 13M+ developers; 1M+ new users and 4M+ new databases a month; 70% of new databases created by agents or AI tools (Y Combinator on X)
- CEO Paul Copplestone: 'Agents are spinning up millions of databases to power the prototypes, explorations, dashboards, and apps they're building'
- Turso: 'the database platform for the agentic era: everything agents need, from lightweight databases to Postgres at petabyte scale'; money goes to employee liquidity and agent features
What happened
Supabase, an open-source Postgres backend popular with "vibe coding" tools, closed a $150M round led by GIC and announced it is buying Turso, a SQLite-compatible database built so agents can create databases almost instantly. The funding goes to employee liquidity and new agent features.
Why it matters
The 70% figure is one of the clearest numbers on agents as direct users of infrastructure: most new databases on a large developer platform are no longer created by a human clicking a button.
