Announcing the Turso Startup Program
Jeff Olson
Today we're launching the Turso Startup Program, designed for venture-backed founders building on the many-database architecture.
AI agents spin up sessions on the fly. They create, branch, and destroy databases as part of their normal workflow. A single user interaction can fan out into dozens of autonomous tasks, each needing its own isolated state. This is the many-database architecture: instead of one monolithic database shared by every user and every workload, you give each user, agent, or session its own database.
Companies like Adaptive are already running millions of databases on Turso, each one powering an AI agent that builds and modifies applications on behalf of users. This is only possible when databases are lightweight, fast to create, and designed for this kind of workflow.
#Why Turso
Turso is a full rewrite of SQLite for the cloud. SQLite is the most deployed database engine in the world, and every AI model already knows how to write SQLite queries. But vanilla SQLite has limitations that hold it back in modern, concurrent applications. Turso removes those limitations: concurrent writes, native vector search, database branching, and schema propagation across millions of databases.
Turso Cloud offers unlimited databases across all self-serve plans, and they can run in the cloud, at the edge, or embedded directly in your application. For teams with stricter infrastructure requirements, Turso Cloud can also be deployed in an isolated AWS account or fully within your own cloud architecture. The many-database architecture only works if you can actually create many databases, and Turso makes that an API call that completes in milliseconds.
#The program
AI is creating innovation at a rapid pace, and we want to be here for the startups building in this space and exploring the many-database architecture as part of their solution. Here's what you get:
- Turso Credits. Generous credits so you can focus on building, not on database bills.
- Technical Support. Priority access to our engineering team for architecture reviews, onboarding, and ongoing support.
- Early Access. Be the first to try new capabilities before they're generally available.
- Co-marketing. Opportunities to be featured in our blog, case studies, and social channels as you grow.
