KùzuDB[1] is an in-process graph database built from scratch and came out of academia too. We are from Data Systems Group at University of Waterloo, started since Sep 2020, and have a small team actively work on it now. These two posts[2,3] explain where we are from and where we're going, if anyone is interested.
