What we care about

MinusOneDB emerged from a simple yet profound idea inspired by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, author of The Little Prince: “Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.”

Today the technical, time, and financial barriers to developing and scaling innovative projects are higher than ever. They limit who can innovate, what data-intensive products teams can afford to build, and which of those products are economically viable. We believe that has to change.

Foundations for Success

The principles that guide everything we build.

Our Mission

Remove the barriers to innovation

We exist to eliminate the technical, financial, and time barriers that prevent teams from building the data-intensive products the world needs.

Our Vision

Data infrastructure that disappears

We envision a world where data infrastructure is so simple, fast, and affordable that it becomes invisible -- freeing every team to focus on what they build, not how they store and query it.

Our Values

Subtract to multiply

Perfection through removal. Every feature, every abstraction must earn its place. We ship less so our customers can build more.
