## About

Founded in 2018 and based in California, US, PlanetScale, Inc. provides fully managed MySQL database solutions. In November 2021, the company raised USD 50 million in Series C funding led by investor Kleiner Perkins, with participation from returning investors Andreessen Horowitz, Insight Partners, and SignalFire.

The company offers Vitess.io, a relational database platform built on MySQL that enables data clusters to scale on cloud environments.
