First Block Live - From Zero to 3M+ Devs: The Supabase Story, hosted by Notion
About the Event
How do you turn an open-source side project into a platform relied on by 3 million+ developers worldwide and valued at $2 billion — all in just five years?
Join us in Singapore for an exclusive, invite-only taping of First Block, Notion’s founder series that pulls back the curtain on breakout companies from day one. We’ll sit down with Ant Wilson, Co-Founder & CTO of Supabase, to unpack:
The origin story — why a Kiwi-grown idea to “make Postgres feel like Firebase” resonated so fast
Scaling lessons from 0 to 1.7 M devs and thousands of daily database launches
How open-source community, “vibe coding,” and YC momentum powered Supabase’s recent $200M Series D raise at a $2B valuation.
What Postgres-first architecture means for the next wave of AI-powered apps
🎙 Moderated by Andrew McCarthy, GM of ANZ, SEA & India, Notion.
Expect a packed room of top founders, builders, and investors. Come for the conversation, stay for the good vibes and light refreshments.
