GIC
GIC is a singapore’s sovereign wealth fund manager and long-term institutional investor.
Analyst Perspective
GIC is Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund manager, incorporated in 1981 and wholly owned by the Government of Singapore. Its role is to manage capital on behalf of the state through long-term investment across asset classes, acting as a professional institutional investor rather than a consumer brand or software vendor. The company creates value by allocating and managing large pools of capital with a long investment horizon. Its economic model is driven by investment performance on assets under management, with the Government of Singapore as the principal capital owner and beneficiary rather than a broad external client base.

GIC has recently led two significant late-stage funding rounds, participating in a $750 million investment in spend-management platform Ramp at a $44 billion valuation and a $500 million Series F for AI-backend provider Supabase, valued at $10.5 billion. These investments target firms facilitating the optimisation of corporate AI adoption, with Ramp offering specialised tools to manage AI-related expenditure and Supabase supporting AI-assisted development.

Supabase Raises $500M Series F at $10B Valuation
Supabase announced a $500 million Series F round at a $10 billion pre-money valuation (about $10.5 billion post-money), marking another rapid valuation increase for the open-source Postgres-based backend. The company says usage grew over 600% in the past year and now serves nearly 10 million developers, a figure that doubled in eight months; it attributes much of the recent growth to AI-assisted development (over 60% of new databases launched by AI tools). Supabase this week also launched Multigres, a tool to simplify running Postgres at scale (managing replicas, failovers, connections, backups). The round was led by GIC, with participation from existing investor Stripe and new investors Georgian and Salesforce Ventures. CEO and co-founder Paul Copplestone announced the raise in a company blog post.

Ramp announced a $750 million funding round that values the company at $44 billion, a roughly 38% step-up, in a round led by ICONIQ, GIC and Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan. CEO Eric Glyman said Ramp has crossed $1 billion in annualized revenue and reached positive free cash flow. The New York-based spend-management and payments company serves about 70,000 customers (including Visa, Uber, Shopify, Anduril and Figma) and has expanded into payments, fraud detection, procurement, vendor management and accounting. Demand is being driven in part by corporate efforts to rein in rising AI-related “token” spending; Ramp offers products to monitor token spend and route tasks to lower-cost AI models. Glyman warned CFOs often didn’t plan for steep AI cost growth and said the era of “tokenmaxxing” is waning. Ramp said it ultimately aims to go public but gave no timetable.

The round was led by GIC and included investors such as Accel, Y Combinator, Craft, Felicis, Coatue and Stripe. Supabase, founded in 2020 by CEO Paul Copplestone and CTO Ant Wilson, provides Postgres-based backend tooling and has grown to about 250,000 customers and roughly 350 employees. The company said AI-assisted coding tools (notably Anthropic’s Claude Code and OpenAI’s Codex) now generate the majority of databases on its platform. Supabase also previewed a new scaling tool called Multigres aimed at supporting very large deployments.
