Market for future AI inference capacity.

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We're building Touchmark, a marketplace where businesses can buy tokens that reserve AI inference capacity from their chosen provider at a fixed price today, for use in a future time window. Buyers save 10-30% compared to on-demand rates and can resell their reserved capacity if their needs change. It's for companies that run large workloads on third-party AI infrastructure and need predictable pricing and supply.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco, CA, and the company is based here.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is the hub for AI infrastructure and startup activity. It's where our customers and peers are.
