DBeaver began as an open-source database admin tool created by Serge Rider in 2013 and the company was launched in 2017. Its core product is a GUI that connects to diverse data sources and includes extensions for big data, a data viewer, editor, mock data generator, metadata browsing, and visual query builders. The company positions its commercial product for organizations with cloud infrastructure and security requirements while the open-source edition serves individual developers. DBeaver says its user base exceeds 8 million and it has over 5,000 paying customers, including IBM, Samsung and Moody’s. The team is 40 employees and intends to remain lean, leveraging an active open-source community (which grew rapidly after the project moved to GitHub) to add features like translations. The company is taking capital to build on the product’s growing popularity and expand its commercial footprint.
