MySQL's future needs more than one company behind it.

The OurSQL Foundation gives every company in the MySQL ecosystem a way to fund, shape, and be seen as part of that future — on equal, merit-based footing.

Why companies join

Your voice. Your visibility. Your future.

01

Independence is the product

Our founding sponsor capped its own share of the budget on purpose. Every member added makes OurSQL more neutral, not less.

02

Be found by the people choosing your tools

Get a profile in the OurSQL Universe — the catalogue the community uses to find software, services, and vendors across the ecosystem.

03

Shape what gets built next

Committee Groups drive the Foundation's technical and event agenda. Members get a direct line into that work, not a seat in the audience.

04

Reach the next generation of MySQL talent

Education and certification initiatives put members at the source of the talent pipeline — not competing for attention after the fact.

Not a company? You can still support OurSQL.

This page is about company membership — but individuals are part of the Foundation's independence too. Individual Supporters back OurSQL with a one-time or recurring personal contribution, no company affiliation required.
