Some investors love backing ideas that could be the next big thing. Consider, for example, the rise of NoSQL databases such as MongoDB, which some market as something that scales easier than traditional relational (SQL) databases.

But what if a database existed that could support popular SQL querying but also could scale like a NoSQL database? A former engineer at Visa has built and open-sourced a database with these qualities in mind, called InfiniSQL. He’s now looking for people who’d like to test the technology, developers who want to work on it, and investors who want to bet on it.
