Company
FloydHub
ML Platform for developing, training and deploying ML models
We built FloydHub, a platform-as-a-service for training and deploying deep learning models in the cloud. It abstracts away infrastructure setup and grunt work so ML practitioners can focus on their experiments and deployment. You can start a project and get a training job running in under 30 seconds.
We live and work in San Francisco, and after YC the company would remain based here.
San Francisco puts us close to potential customers, ML practitioners, and the broader startup ecosystem; it's the best place to build and scale a ML engineering platform like FloydHub.
