pgEdge today emerged from stealth and launched the first fully distributed database optimized for the network edge based on the standard and popular open-source PostgreSQL database. Concurrently the company also announced $9 million in a seed financing round led by Sands Capital Ventures and Grotech Ventures.

pgEdge's mission is to make it easy to build and deploy highly distributed database applications across the global network. Founded by industry veterans who have championed enterprise usage of the PostgreSQL database for several decades and helped run the world's largest managed database cloud services, pgEdge is headquartered in Northern Virginia.
