Company
Trainy
Infrastructure for managing GPU clusters
We built Trainy Konduktor, a platform that AI teams use to schedule GPU workloads with priority and manage resource allocation. It replaces traditional tools like Slurm by helping teams submit jobs to a reliable pool of GPUs, assign priorities easily, and avoid hardware faults. Our product is designed for machine learning teams running training and serving workloads on GPU clusters.
We live in San Francisco and work remotely. After YC, the company will remain based in San Francisco with a remote-friendly structure.
We chose San Francisco because it's where we are based and where we can best connect with early users and partners in AI infrastructure. Remote work allows us to grow talent beyond the area while keeping close to the ecosystem.
