What RunAnywhere does
Edge AI is inevitable, but shipping it is painful: every device class behaves differently, runtimes vary, models are huge, and performance collapses under memory/power constraints. RunAnywhere turns that into an enterprise-ready workflow: one SDK to run models on-device, plus a control plane to manage models, enforce policies, and measure outcomes across thousands of devices.

RunAnywhere
The default way of running on-device AI at Scale
We are building an SDK that runs AI models directly on devices of all kinds, plus a control plane that lets companies manage models at scale, set policies, and track performance across thousands of devices. Our product solves the problem that on-device AI is a nightmare to ship because every device behaves differently, runtimes vary, models are huge, and devices have limited memory and power. RunAnywhere lets enterprises handle all this from one workflow.
We currently live in San Francisco, CA, and plan to keep the company based there after YC.
We're in San Francisco because it's where the technical talent and enterprise buyers we need are concentrated. Staying here after YC keeps us close to our network and customers.
