SurrealDB founders Toby & Jamie Morgan Hitchcock: 3.0 and Series A
Brothers Toby and Jamie Morgan Hitchcock, co-founders and CEO/COO of SurrealDB, join in the show's first-ever two-guest call, connecting from a San Francisco hotel. They announce SurrealDB 3.0 with 'first-class agent memory' plus a $38M Series A extension that added UK/European investors including Mike Chalfen and Begin Capital. They explain that agents need more than vector/RAG — temporal, graph and relationship data unified in one platform — and discuss the headless agent-driven future, enterprise integration hurdles, and spending the new funding mainly on US go-to-market and sales. The segment closes with goodbyes and the hosts' show sign-off.

SurrealDB 3.0 & $38M Series A with Brothers Toby and Jamie Morgan Hitchcock
In a first for the show, both brothers join on separate lines — Toby and Jamie Morgan Hitchcock, co-founders of SurrealDB, calling at 5:50 AM from San Francisco while their UK team launches a product. They describe SurrealDB as a multimodal database begun in 2015 (launched 2022) that unifies time series, graph, document, and relational data, which has become a strong fit for AI agents needing memory, and they talk about 20+ years of working together as brothers. They announce SurrealDB 3.0 releasing imminently and a Series A extension taking the round to $38M ($44M since seed), adding UK/European investors like Chalfen Ventures and Begin Capital alongside FirstMark. The conversation also covers why agents need more than vector/RAG (temporal and graph data), a 'headless' app future, spending the new capital on US go-to-market, balancing enterprise stability with fast shipping, and how open-source adoption drove enterprise production usage.
