Vibe coding has taken the tech industry by storm, and\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0not just the\u00a0Lovables<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Replits<\/a>\u00a0of the world that\u00a0are\u00a0winning. The startups building the infrastructure behind them are cashing in too.\u00a0<\/p>\n Supabase, the open-source database platform\u00a0that\u2019s\u00a0become the backend of choice for the vibe-coding world,\u00a0raised $100 million at a\u00a0$5 billion\u00a0valuation<\/a>\u00a0just months after closing $200 million at\u00a0$2 billion. But co-founder and CEO Paul\u00a0Copplestone\u00a0has a surprising strategy: he keeps turning down million-dollar enterprise contracts\u00a0from deep-pocketed but demanding customers.\u00a0He\u2019s\u00a0betting instead that\u00a0if he sticks to his own product\u00a0vision, the world will come to him. So far,\u00a0he\u2019s\u00a0been right.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Today on TechCrunch\u2019s Equity podcast, Julie Bort sat down with\u00a0Copplestone\u00a0to explore\u00a0Supabase\u2019s\u00a0rise and what it means for\u00a0vibe coding, developers and\u00a0the database\u00a0giants who have historically controlled this market.\u00a0<\/p>\n Subscribe to Equity on\u00a0Apple Podcasts<\/a>,\u00a0Overcast<\/a>,\u00a0Spotify<\/a>\u00a0and all the casts.
