Vibe has taken the coding tech industry by storm, and it’s not just the lovables and replites of the world who are winning. The startups building the infrastructure behind them are also making money.
Supabase hits
Subase, the open-source database platform that has become the backend of choice for the vibe-coding world, has raised $100 million at a $5 billion valuation, just months after closing $200 million at $2 billion. But co-founder and CEO Paul Copplestone has a surprising trick: He turns down million-dollar enterprise deals from deep-pocketed but demanding customers.
