About Scott Buxton
Scott Buxton is the Chief Financial Officer of Supabase and is based in Austin, Texas. He graduated from UCLA in 2003 and started his career in external audit at Deloitte in San Jose. He spent about a decade there, leaving as a Senior Manager, and worked with Bay Area technology clients including Yelp, where he filed the IPO.
He then became Corporate Controller at GitHub for almost three years, where he worked on its Series B (closed July 2015) and IPO readiness. He joined Datadog as Vice President, Finance in 2015, when it was a 75-person Series C company, and stayed through its IPO.
After Datadog he did fractional finance work. His LinkedIn says he worked with about 35 companies over four years, and that this led him to Supabase. Crunchbase and AskForFunding also list him as a former CFO of HighRadius.
Public databases list few angel deals for Buxton. Crunchbase, PitchBook and Tracxn each show one: the Campfire Series B in late 2025. Press coverage adds the Dreambase seed round in April 2026.
His LinkedIn activity also mentions personal investments in QuotaPath, a sales commission software company, and in Allstacks. It gives no round details or dates for either.
Dreambase raised a $3.7M seed round led by Felicis Ventures in April 2026. Dreambase is an Austin-based AI-native analytics platform built for Supabase. Buxton took part as an angel, alongside Supabase's CTO and COO. Crunchbase News quotes him saying he invested because he believes Dreambase "will win the analytics layer for the next generation of Postgres-native companies."
He was also one of the angels in Campfire's $65M Series B in October 2025. Campfire is building an LLM-powered alternative to ERP accounting software.
The public record points to software and AI companies, especially finance software and tools in the Supabase and Postgres ecosystem. His known rounds are a seed (Dreambase) and a Series B (Campfire), both as an angel alongside institutional leads. He has not published a check size or a formal investment thesis. Founders should treat his comments on Dreambase as his only public statement about what he looks for.
