Grafbase, a Stockholm, Sweden-based data platform for developers, raised $5M in seed funding.

The round, which brought total funding to $7.3m, was led by Next47, with participation from Alven, Uncorrelated Ventures, and a group of angel investors including Vercel CEO Guillermo Rauch, Datadog CEO Olivier Pomel, GitHub ex-CEO Nat Friedman, Netlify CEO Mathias Biilmann Christensen, and Cockroach Labs CEO Spencer Kimball, among others.

The company intends to use the funds to accelerate its product development and double the size of the team.

Founded by Fredrik Björk, former CTO of The RealReal and angel investor, Grafbase is a data platform for developers that accelerates backend deployment via serverless GraphQL APIs. Since the company was launched in beta to the developer community in early August, hundreds of projects have already been created with a growing community forming in Discord. Some early adopters are building mobile, e-commerce, and Jamstack backends already.

Grafbase is a remote-first company distributed across Europe and the US and is available for developers now.
