Couchbase, Inc.
Couchbase, Inc. is an American public software company that provides a unified, AI-ready developer data platform for mission-critical applications across cloud, on-premises, mobile and edge environments. The firm develops and supports Couchbase Server, Couchbase Capella (its fully-managed database-as-a-service), and Couchbase Mobile & Edge, including Couchbase Lite, an embedded database for offline-first apps.
Headquartered in San Jose, California, it has additional offices in Austin, Bengaluru, Tel Aviv, Singapore, and London.[citation needed] On September 24, 2025, the company was acquired by Haveli Investments in a deal valued at approximately $1.5 billion.
NorthScale was founded in 2009, and in March 2010 announced $5 million in funding from Accel Partners and North Bridge Venture Partners. Original officers listed were James Phillips, Steve Yen and Dustin Sallings, who were involved in the development of memcached. In May 2010, a $10 million investment led by the Mayfield Fund was announced for NorthScale, and Bob Wiederhold replaced Phillips as chief executive. Some time later in 2010, NorthScale was renamed Membase, Incorporated.
CouchOne Inc. was also founded in 2009 as Relaxed, in Berkeley, California. It developed and provided commercial support for the Apache CouchDB open source project, a document database. Initial funding was $2 million, including investor Redpoint Ventures. Couchbase, Inc. was created through the merger of Membase and CouchOne in February 2011. The merged company aimed to build an easily scalable, high-performance document-oriented database system, marketed with the term NoSQL.
In August 2011, a $14 million funding was led by Ignition Partners. In October 2011, DoCoMo Capital announced an investment of $1 million was part of that round. In August, 2013, another round of $25 million was led by Adams Street Partners. A round of $60 million in June, 2014, included new investor WestSummit. A round of $30 million in March, 2016, was reported as giving a reduced valuation to the company. Peter Finter became chief marketing officer in September 2016. Matt Cain replaced Bob Wiederhold as CEO in April 2017.
The company raised funding from Accel Partners, North Bridge Venture Partners, Mayfield Fund, Redpoint Ventures, Ignition Partners, and others. Couchbase completed its initial public offering on July 21, 2021, and is listed on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol BASE.
Recognition include the 2012 Infoworld Bossie award, Dataweek 2012 award, Always-On Global award, VentureWire's 50 FASTTech companies GigaOM's Structure 50 list and the Gartner cool vendor award.
On June 20 2025, Couchbase announced it had entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Haveli Investments (led by ex-Vista Equity Partners president Brian Sheth) for $1.5 billion. Under the terms of the deal, Couchbase shareholders will receive $24.50 per share in cash—representing a 29 % premium to the closing price immediately prior and a 67 % premium to the March 27 2025 price. The merger agreement includes a “go-shop” period expiring June 23, 2025, during which Couchbase may solicit superior proposals. Closing is expected in H2 2025, subject to customary regulatory and shareholder approvals.
