turbopuffer is a serverless vector and full-text search database built on top of object storage, designed to make large-scale retrieval far cheaper than memory-bound vector DBs. It powers retrieval for products including Cursor and Notion. The company has stayed lean and profitable: it raised a small pre-seed in 2024, ran on a tiny team, and closed a seed round in December 2025 with Thrive Capital and Lachy Groom. turbopuffer has publicly noted it declined a larger Series A to prioritize independence; valuation terms were not disclosed.
