Supabase announced $150 million in new funding and an agreement to acquire database startup Turso on October 2, 2026. The acquisition price was not disclosed, and the announcement describes an agreement—not a confirmed completed deal. For Turso customers, both companies said the service will continue operating, its database will remain open source and actively developed, and existing databases, APIs, and workflows will continue.
What Supabase announced
The $150 million funding round was led by Singapore sovereign wealth fund GIC, with CapitalG, IronArc, and SquarePeg also participating, according to SiliconANGLE. Supabase announced it alongside an agreement to acquire Turso. Neither the acquisition price nor a completed closing was announced.

This is separate from Supabase’s June 4, 2026 Series F: $500 million at a $10 billion pre-money valuation. In that June announcement, Supabase also said database launches had grown 600% year over year. Those figures belong to the earlier round, not the October funding announcement.

What the deal means for Turso users
At the time of the October 2 announcement, Supabase and Turso said Turso would continue operating, existing databases, APIs, and workflows would continue, and Turso Database would remain open source and actively developed. Supabase CEO Paul Copplestone wrote, “For existing users, nothing changes. Supabase will continue building around Postgres, while Turso will continue its work on SQLite.” These are the companies’ stated plans at announcement time, not a guarantee about every future product detail.

#1 Best Overall
The announcement does not say that users need to migrate, that a new integration is already available, or that Turso’s product roadmap has been fully specified. Supabase described deeper integration as a future direction. Users should therefore distinguish the continuity commitments made at announcement from features or changes that have not yet been announced.
Why Supabase wants a SQLite company
Supabase’s platform is built around PostgreSQL, while Turso develops SQLite-based database technology and a cloud platform for creating databases on demand. The companies’ rationale is to serve different workload needs: lightweight, short-lived databases for small tasks, prototypes, or agent-created applications, with Postgres available as applications grow.
Supabase says its database launches had reached more than one million per week in 2026 and argues that AI agents can create many temporary databases while building prototypes, dashboards, and apps. Supabase also says Turso’s architecture can load and suspend databases and serve millions from a single server. Those scale and architecture statements come from the companies; they are not independent performance tests. Supabase’s acquisition announcement

The proposed fit is about workload lifecycle, not replacing one database with the other across the board. A small or temporary task may benefit from an on-demand SQLite database; a larger, evolving application may need the capabilities of Postgres. The announcements describe a future path for combining those options, not a direction that requires every Turso user to move to Supabase or every Supabase workload to use SQLite.
