We’re a well-funded startup with deep knowledge of Postgres internals and decades of experience building databases. We are a systems company; we work on low-level code with strict performance and correctness requirements.

Our Team

• We are a distributed team of 130+ people working from 25+ countries (concentrating around North America and Europe time zones)
• We are a team built on open-source cultural principles (transparency, contribution, accountability, proactivity)
• Team with decades of experience building databases and deep knowledge of Postgres internals. We are deeply technical
• We have experienced Postgres committers and hackers on the team
• We believe in the efficacy of collaborative open source
• We aim for a diversity of thoughts and backgrounds
• We are keen to be a fast-moving flat org and avoid hierarchical structures

Our Investors
