Grafbase, a serverless database solution, raised USD 5 million in seed funding led by Next47 with participation from Alven , Uncorrelated Ventures , and a number of angel investors. This round brings the company’s total funding to USD 7.3 million. 

The company plans to use the funding to accelerate its product development and double its employee base.

Grafbase is a Swedish data platform that enables developers to serverlessly deploy GraphQL backends. Users can create a local GraphQL endpoint from their own terminals (Next.js, Remix, and Nuxt) with a complete backend that includes integrated application programming interfaces (APIs) and databases. The company operates across the EU and US with a team of remote developers. As of October 2022, the company claims that the platform has been used for “hundreds of projects” such as mobile, e-commerce, and Jamstack backends since it was launched in August of that same year.
