PopSQL

San Francisco based collaborative SQL editor for teams, PopSQL raised US$ 3.4M in its seed funding on 8 September 2020.

The funding round was led by Gradient Ventures, Google’s AI-focused venture fund. Other participants in the round included Y Combinator, FundersClub, angel investors Max Mullen (Co-founder of Instacart), Calvin French-Owen (CTO of Segment), and Guillermo Rauch (CEO of Vercel).

The funds raised will be utilized to hire engineers to execute on its product roadmap.
“We’ve seen first-hand the expectation among knowledge workers to be proficient in SQL. With this, there has also been a growing frustration with the current bench of tools used to write, debug, and share these SQL queries. PopSQL’s initial beachhead as a collaborative SQL editor is just the tip of the iceberg and we’re excited for the expansive roadmap Rahil and his team have in store,” said Muzzammil Zaveri, Partner at Gradient Ventures.
