Supabase announced on Oct. 2, 2026 that it has raised $150 million in new funding led by GIC and agreed to acquire Turso, a database platform it says will help it serve AI agents more efficiently. The company said the financing comes four months after its $500 million Series F and follows rapid growth tied to AI coding tools and agents.

What funding and acquisition did Supabase announce?

Supabase announced on Oct. 2, 2026 that it has raised $150 million in new funding led by GIC, with CapitalG, IronArc and SquarePeg also participating, while also announcing an agreement to acquire Turso, according to the company’s announcement and related reporting from PR Newswire and SiliconANGLE. Supabase said the investment arrived four months after its $500 million Series F, and that the new capital will help accelerate product development around agent-driven databases while also providing liquidity for employees.

The company’s announcement frames the financing and acquisition as part of the same push: building backend infrastructure for software agents and AI coding tools. Supabase said its growth has been driven by AI coding tools and agents, and SiliconANGLE reported that the company plans to use the new money to support employee liquidity and build AI agent features.

What is driving Supabase’s growth and database demand?

Supabase, founded in 2020, describes its product as a complete backend that includes Postgres, authentication, storage, edge functions, realtime subscriptions, vector search and more than 100 integrated partner tools. The company said it now serves more than 13 million developers and is adding more than 1 million users per month, alongside 4 million databases per month. It also said its database count increased 600% year over year as of June and that by then, agents were already deploying most new databases on the platform.

Supabase said 70% of new databases on its platform are created by agents or AI-driven tools, and it pointed to AI coding systems such as Claude Code and Codex as expanding both the number of software builders and the amount of software being built. The company said that as agentic deployments scale, the need for large numbers of databases rises too. Its stated goal is to become the first place developers and agents go for backend support.

In a separate blog post about the deal, Supabase said it wants to bring the Supabase experience to every agent and said it is already launching over 1 million databases per week.

How does Turso fit into Supabase’s agentic infrastructure plans?

Supabase said Turso is a platform that lets developers access higher volumes of databases for agentic workloads, and that its architecture offers low-cost databases with support for on-demand per-agent databases in both public cloud and BYOC environments. Supabase said Turso rebuilt SQLite in Rust and built a cloud platform where one server can manage millions of databases, loading and suspending them as needed.

Supabase said the acquisition and new funding will accelerate product development around agent-driven databases. In its announcement, CEO Paul Copplestone said the past year was the fastest growth in the company’s history and said CapitalG’s connections to the Alphabet ecosystem would be valuable for Supabase’s next growth stage. Copplestone also said Turso’s architecture will help Supabase accelerate as a backend platform for agents.

CapitalG partner Derek Zanutto called Supabase a critical open infrastructure layer for the AI revolution. Supabase said both companies share an open-source focus and a view that infrastructure must evolve for agentic AI.

What comes next for Supabase and Turso?

Supabase said the Turso platform will continue operating after the acquisition, with a path into the Supabase ecosystem. In its own blog post, Supabase said existing users will see no change, with Supabase continuing around Postgres and Turso continuing its work on SQLite.

The company said Turso founder Glauber Costa will join Supabase as head of agentic services, along with co-founder Pekka Enberg and the rest of the Turso team. Supabase also said Costa will lead the combined company’s agentic infrastructure effort.

Supabase named Superhuman, Sauna.ai, CTO.new and Mastra as customers using Turso’s architecture, underscoring the company’s pitch that distributed, on-demand database infrastructure is useful for agent workloads. The announcement presents the deal as a way to combine Supabase’s backend platform with Turso’s database architecture as AI agents create more demand for fast, isolated databases. The acquisition was announced, not described as closed, in the reporting from SiliconANGLE.
