基础设施生态是嘉御资本前沿科技投资关注的重点赛道之一，而开源基础软件则是我们重仓的细分领域，并且已经在生态的各个重要节点落子布局，如全球开源物联网消息中间件领导者 EMQ 映云科技、混合云管理平台及领先的开源软件公司飞致云、国内首家专注于 IT 系统稳定性领域的 PerfMa 笨马网络。\n\n在数据基础设施领域，随着围绕数据构建的大规模复杂系统的兴起，全球越来越多企业的数据库架构正在从单体数据库走向分布式再逐步走向云原生、多源异构，其中新兴的开源软件公司正是本次数据基础设施变革的核心推动力量之一。\n\n张亮、潘娟及其带领的 SphereEx 团队，正是来自 Apache 基金会全球唯一一个数据库中间件顶级项目 ShardingSphere 的核心成员。我们看好 SphereEx 团队率先提出的 Database Plus、Database Ecosystem 等理念，将引领企业级客户更好更快的构建现代化、多元化、云原生化的数据基础设施，并完成数字化的转型和升级。\n\n非常高兴在这一轮作为领投方支持 SphereEx 团队，我们坚信公司通过全球化布局，以及坚定拥抱 Cloud Hosting 商业模式，未来会发展成为全球新一代 IT 基础设施变革的先行者和领导者。”\n\n**初心资本合伙人于真真**表示：“在过去的半年中，我们见证了团队飞快的成长。在很短的时间内，SphereEx 团队完成了 Database Plus 从理念到落地、完成了 ShardingSphere 开源版本的大升级、在生态支持上从 MySQL 拓展到了 PostgreSQL，并同时与华为、云和恩墨等数据库厂商开展了商业数据库的合作。同时，ShardingSphere 的社区运营也日益成熟，吸引海内外诸多用户对 SphereEx 的产品产生兴趣。这些 milestones 得益于团队过往的积累，但更得益于创始团队在商业、战略层面不断的思考、尝试和迭代，让 SphereEx 作为一款商业基础设施产品日益茁壮，也让我们对公司的未来愈发充满信心。”\n\n**指数资本执行董事韦炜**表示：“企业正在面临指数级增长的数据保有量和愈发复杂的 IT 环境带来的双重挑战，如何应对底层数据基础架构生态复杂化 & 多元化转变，将成为未来企业级客户的核心关注点。SphereEx 作为国内数据库领域最专业的团队之一，已在开源社区获得显著成功，基于 Database Mesh 理念构建的一站式分布数据服务平台，也逐步成为企业级客户的核心数据技术栈。指数资本持续看好和支持 SphereEx 的发展，相信公司将定义新时代企业数据服务的新标准。”
