We're fortunate to have started at a time when VCs were incredibly irrational (read: good for founders), and even more fortunate to have found a lead investor that's patient.
We've been able to build Supabase our own way: hire the right people (mostly international), focus on what developers want (even though they don't pay much), and build open source (collaborating rather than competing). None of these are controversial until you have a profit-maximising VC breathing down your neck.
> They're in a "long game" (according to their founder)
I stand by this. It's a decade-long endeavour to build credibility as a database company and that's not something we can hurry.
