NorthScale was founded in 2009, and in March 2010 announced $5 million in funding from Accel Partners and North Bridge Venture Partners. Original officers listed were James Phillips, Steve Yen and Dustin Sallings, who were involved in the development of memcached. In May 2010, a $10 million investment led by the Mayfield Fund was announced for NorthScale, and Bob Wiederhold replaced Phillips as chief executive. Some time later in 2010, NorthScale was renamed Membase, Incorporated. CouchOne Inc. was also founded in 2009 as Relaxed, in Berkeley, California. It developed and provided commercial support for the Apache CouchDB open source project, a document database. Initial funding was $2 million, including investor Redpoint Ventures.
