Dynamical Scaling Virtual Machines as a Service
We are building a service that provides automatic, dynamic scaling of virtual machines based on demand. It lets businesses run infrastructure that adjusts resources up and down without manual intervention, saving costs and improving reliability.
We live and work in London, England, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.
London is where we both live and have our technical network. Our users are primarily B2B cloud customers who can access the service from anywhere, so there is no restriction to location.
