Supabase’s Paul Copplestone | Strategy vs Playing Startup | S3E10 | Spotlight On | AccelVC

From the beginning, the backend-as-a-service platform Supabase has done things a little differently. Building on Postgres instead of a proprietary engine. Putting data portability at the core of their product. Going all-in on global hiring from day one. And yes, naming themselves after a Nicki Minaj song because they thought it would make a funny meme. The meme has stuck, but Supabase has scaled. In this episode of Spotlight On, Supabase CEO and co-founder Paul Copplestone joins Accel’s Arun Mathew and Gonzalo Mocorrea to discuss how these contrarian bets have paid off, and how the platform has stayed true to its “by developers, for developers” roots. Their conversation covers: why Supabase bet early on Postgres and data portability, the difference between “playing startup” and strategy, how they manage an entirely distributed team, and how a founder’s role changes as the company grows. #vc #venturecapital #founder #entrepreneurs #tech #CEO #supabase #paulcopplestone #postgres #opensource Season 3: This season, we’re digging into the parts of founding and building companies that people don’t often see: the firsts, the messy moments, and the key decision points that come after that initial founding phase. Great companies are built one decision at a time, so we’re asking the people doing the building: How do you make the decisions that matter? What are the tradeoffs? And would you do it the same way again? Spotlight On: Spotlight On is a podcast about how companies are built, from the people doing the building.
