Dead simple CI/CD for ML teams
We are building a continuous integration and deployment platform specifically designed for machine learning teams. Our product simplifies the process of testing, validating, and deploying ML models, which are more complex and error-prone than traditional software updates.
We live in Berkeley, CA, and the company would be based here after YC.
Berkeley is where we are based now, and we want to stay here because we are close to leading ML research and engineering talent, which helps us build a better product.
