Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

We automatically monetize idle GPUs

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

We built a platform that taps into idle GPUs from cloud providers and enterprises, automatically allocating that unused capacity to startups and researchers who need cheaper inference. It's fully automated and integrates with Kubernetes to make adoption straightforward. The goal is to help companies monetize GPUs they aren't using while lowering costs for the end users running ML workloads.

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

We're based in San Francisco, with a remote team. After YC, the company will remain headquartered in San Francisco with remote work continuing.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we live and where the startup ecosystem we want to engage with is strongest. Remote work lets us hire talent globally but keeping HQ in San Francisco helps with investor and customer connections.
