Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

High-performance computing cloud

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build a CI product that runs on top of our own cloud built on Gaming CPUs. Our platform plugs directly into GitHub Actions, making continuous integration runs about twice as fast and cheaper. Users simply change one line in their workflow to get the speed-up.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in Berlin, Germany, and the company is based here with remote work as well. After YC, we will remain based in Berlin but continue embracing remote work.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Berlin is where we are located and connected, making it natural to base the company here. We also have a remote setup to access talent beyond the city.
