About Couchbase, Inc.

Couchbase, Inc. (ticker BASE) is a United States-based software company that has been listed on the US market, historically on NASDAQ, and is best understood as a developer data platform vendor focused on mission-critical applications. Founded in 2011 through the merger of Membase and CouchOne, Couchbase emerged from the open-source database ecosystem and built its identity around high-performance, distributed data management. The company’s headquarters are in the San Francisco Bay Area, with its corporate base long associated with Santa Clara, California, and later communications indicating a new global headquarters in San Jose. ([techcrunch.com](https://techcrunch.com/2011/02/07/nosql-companies-couchone-and-membase-merge-to-form-couchbase/?utm_source=openai)) From a business perspective, Couchbase sells a unified data platform designed for modern application architectures spanning cloud, on-premises, mobile, and edge environments. Its core offerings include Couchbase Capella, the company’s managed database-as-a-service cloud platform, Couchbase Server for self-managed deployments, and additional capabilities aimed at AI workloads, vector search, and edge use cases. Management positions the product stack as combining the flexibility of NoSQL with SQL-like querying, while emphasizing low latency, scalability, and resilience for enterprise-grade deployments. ([couchbase.com](https://www.couchbase.com/about/?utm_source=openai)) In competitive terms, Couchbase occupies a specialized but strategically relevant niche within the broader database market. Its differentiation is centered on developer productivity, performance, and operational flexibility, particularly for applications that need to run across hybrid infrastructures and distributed environments. The company increasingly frames its platform as “AI-ready,” which aligns its messaging with enterprise demand for agentic AI systems, retrieval-augmented generation, and application modernization.

Its go-to-market approach is global in nature, supported by a distributed workforce and a partner/customer ecosystem that extends beyond the United States.

In 2025, Couchbase launched Couchbase 8.0, highlighting end-to-end AI data lifecycle support and improved vector-search capabilities. The company also announced in June 2025 that it had agreed to be acquired by Haveli Investments for $24.50 per share in cash, implying a take-private transaction and eventual delisting if completed. Even amid that process, Couchbase continued to announce operational updates in 2026, including leadership hires aimed at strengthening finance and AI execution.
