Company
Shuttle
Build Backends. Fast.
We are building a cloud infrastructure platform that lets developers ship reliable, scalable Rust backends in minutes without configuration. Our product removes infrastructure complexity, so developers using AI coding tools like Cursor and GitHub Copilot can focus on building their apps instead of wrestling with deployment and scaling.
We live in London, England, and the company is based here now and will remain so after YC.
London is where we grew the initial product and community. Our team is here, and this location gives us access to strong engineering talent and proximity to European customers.
