About Acecore Data

We believe data should empower, not frustrate.

We started Ace Core Data because clunky, disconnected database tools were wasting brilliant people’s time. Why should switching between SQL clients, admin consoles, and scripts feel like a scavenger hunt?

Founded in Metairie, Louisiana, our database software company blends deep database management expertise with a simple mission: erase friction between people and their data. The result is a cleaner workflow, calmer teams, and fewer late-night copy-paste rituals.

Founded in 2018 200+ enterprise customers 12 countries served

Founding story

From frustrated DBAs to software founders

After years of juggling pgAdmin, SQL Developer, and custom scripts, our founders decided to build the tool they always wished existed. Sounds obvious now, right? It wasn’t obvious then.

The first sketches happened on a whiteboard in 2017. A beta followed in 2018. By 2020, the platform had earned serious traction with busy teams that needed universal connectivity and calmer database administration. Today, that same spirit still drives every release.

2017 — the idea

A single question kept coming up: why are database tools still so disconnected?

2018 — first beta

A hands-on release shaped by real DBAs who wanted speed without chaos.

2024 — 100,000 users

We’re still shipping like a startup, just with more coffee and more stories.

Meet the people behind the code

A team that knows databases, and humans too.

Our engineers, designers, support specialists, and customer success folks work closely together. Why does that matter? Because great software only feels great when people feel supported.

Mara Delaney, CEO

Former DBA at Oracle

Mara keeps the product close to the real pain points. She still reviews support threads every week.

Fun fact: she still keeps a handwritten query notebook.

Tariq Bennett, CTO

PostgreSQL contributor

Tariq designs the architecture around scale, reliability, and a lot less rework for busy teams.

Fun fact: he can spot a bad execution plan from across the room.

Imani Cho, VP Product

UX designer turned product leader

Imani makes the complex feel friendly. Every workflow gets a human check before it ships.

Fun fact: she prototypes interfaces with paper first.

Values and culture

The values that drive every commit.

We move quickly, keep the roadmap visible, and stay close to customers. Isn’t that the point of a modern database software company?

Customer success first

We design every workflow to save time, reduce stress, and help teams move with confidence.

Ship early, iterate often

Small improvements stack up fast when you listen carefully and keep releasing.

Transparency and openness

Our roadmap is public, and our decisions are shared plainly. No mystery theatre.

Community first

We sponsor STEM programmes in Louisiana and keep showing up for local meetups.

Remote-friendly, Metairie-rooted

Work from anywhere, or join us in Metairie when face-to-face energy helps.

Trust by default

Security, consistency, and clarity sit underneath every feature we build.

Rooted in Louisiana

Connected locally, useful everywhere.

From SQL Saturday sponsorships to high school coding clubs, we like backing practical learning. Why keep the good stuff to ourselves?

Annual Database Camp scholarship for underrepresented students.
12 public PostgreSQL extensions maintained by our contributors.
Internship partnership with Louisiana Tech.
Regular meetups in Metairie and across the Gulf Coast.
