The data warehouse for startups
AI Analytics from day one, with 50% off
Apply now
Trusted by Startups
Partnered with leading startup ecosystems
Startups love Motherduck
AI-Native from Day One
Build AI-powered data products without stitching together a separate stack. MotherDuck's
MCP Server
lets AI agents like Claude query and write to your data directly.
Dives
turn natural language into shareable, interactive visualizations. AI Functions run LLM-powered classification, extraction, and summarization inside plain SQL. Your data warehouse isn't just storing data — it's powering your AI features.
Ship Faster, Not Infrastructure
Your team should be building product, not managing data warehouses. MotherDuck is fully serverless — no clusters to provision, no knobs to tune, no ops to hire for. Just connect and query. Built on DuckDB, the fastest-growing SQL analytics engine, so you get blazing performance without the complexity of legacy platforms.
The Perfect Backend for Analytics Agents
Give every customer — or every AI agent — their own isolated analytics instance that scales to zero when idle. MotherDuck's
Hypertenancy
provisions dedicated DuckDB compute per tenant automatically, so one user's heavy query never impacts another's. No shared-resource bottlenecks, no noisy neighbors, no manual provisioning.
Modern Duck Stack
MotherDuck works out of the box with
50+ leading data tools
, allowing you to deploy quickly and future-proof your data stack.
Loved by startups of all sizes
For Data Teams
The Data Warehouse
Mother Duck's features and UI are designed with data teams in mind. From taking in a birds'-eye view of your data with Column Explorer, to writing SQL queries with Fixlt, our notebook-like interface ensures your data explorations are smooth sailing, and we're constantly making improvements to keep you in the flow.

For App Devs
Zero latency, in-browser analytics on DuckDB in the cloud
We already do everything in the browser. Why not analytics? The bar for in-app analytics experiences has never been higher! Data-driven decision making is essential, and high-latency, static dashboards don’t meet user needs. Using the power of DuckDB, MotherDuck helps developers build warp speed, responsive data experiences that run in the browser and the cloud.

Apply Now!
