Company
Strong Compute
10x-1000x faster compute for Neural Network training
We build software and hardware optimizations for cloud computing that speed up neural network training by 10x to 1000x, file transfers by 1000x, and instance start times by 10x. Our product rethinks cloud pricing to charge based on performance rather than consumption. We target AI teams who need faster iterations and lower latency in model development.
We live in Sydney, Australia and plan to base the company here after YC as well.
Sydney is where our team is based and where we have network and infrastructure. We can operate globally from here; YC will help us accelerate growth without relocation.
