we don't have any plans to get bought.

we only have plans to keep pushing open standards/tools - hopefully we have enough of a track record here that it doesn't feel like lip service

[mort96]

Is it even up to you? Isn't it up to your Board of Directors (i.e investors) in the end?

[kiwicopple]

we (the founders) control the board

Who controls the board, controls the company

the data must flow!

I can believe there are no plans, right now. But having raised over $100mm, the VCs will want to liquidate their holdings eventually. They have to answer to their LPs after all, and be able to raise their next funds.

The primary options I can think of that are not full acquisition are: - company buys back stock - VC sells on secondary market - IPO

The much more common and more likely option for these VCs to make the multiple or home run on their return is going to be to 10x+ their money by having a first or second tier cloud provider buy you.

I think there's a 10% chance that a deal with Google is done in the future, so their portfolio has Firebase for NoSQL and Firebase for SQL.

Having founded a database company that IPO'd (Couchbase) and seeing the kinds of customer relationships Supabase is making, an IPO seems a reasonable outcome.

[spxneo]

well before there was supabase I would use Firebase

so it would serve Google well if they matched what supabase is doing or bought them out

Absolutely. I am so impressed with SB. It’s like you read my mind and then make what I’ll need before I realise.

>like you read my mind

we receive a lot of community feedback and ultimately there are only a few "primitives" developers need to solve 90% of their problems

I think we're inching closer to the complete set of primitives which can be used to combine into second-order primitives (eg: queues/search/maps can all be "wrappers" around the primitives we already provide)

[jonplackett]

That's a neat way of thinking about it.

Thanks for an awesome product. Please also never get bought or make plans to in the future, or if you really, really, really have to then please not by google.

As long as you make it so if you do get bought a team of you can always fork and move on, it's about the best anyone can hope for.
