The No Infrastructure Platform as a Service
We're building Aptible, a Platform as a Service that removes the burden of managing infrastructure by handling secure, compliant, and reliable deployment on AWS, GCP, or Azure for companies that need to run apps without operating a traditional infrastructure team.
We are distributed with team members across New York City, Toronto, Philadelphia, Boston, Indianapolis, and remote locations. After YC, we would be based out of New York City where most of the founders are located.
We chose these locations because of where our founders live and where our early users and team members are. New York is our main hub given the founding team and customer proximity.
