Flower 做什么

Flower Labs is the world-class AI startup behind Flower, the most popular open-source framework and ecosystem in the world for training AI on distributed data and compute resources using federated learning. Trusted by industry leaders such as Mozilla, Banking Circle, Samsung, Temenos and Bosch, Flower empowers organizations to improve their AI models on sensitive data that remains securely distributed across organizational silos or user devices. In a world where most AI relies on centralized public datasets - just a fraction of the data available - we believe unlocking access to (orders of magnitude more) private data will drive the next breakthroughs in artificial intelligence. Flower Labs is a Y Combinator (YCW23) graduate and backed by top-tier investors and renowned angels, including Felicis, First Spark Ventures, Mozilla Ventures, Hugging Face CEO Clem Delangue, GitHub Co-Founder Scott Chacon, Factorial Capital, Betaworks, and Pioneer Fund. Together, we are redefining how AI is built, deployed, and scaled for privacy, collaboration, and real-world impact.

Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Train AI models on distributed data

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

We build Flower, an open-source framework that lets organizations train AI models on data that never leaves its original location. Instead of centralizing sensitive or siloed data, Flower uses federated learning to coordinate training across multiple devices or institutions securely. This lets companies improve AI without compromising privacy or data control.

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

We are a remote team distributed globally. After YC, we will continue to operate remotely, as that fits our distributed culture and the nature of our product.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose a fully remote setup because federated learning inherently deals with distributed systems and data across locations. It also lets us recruit top talent from around the world and work closely with diverse partners without geographic constraints.
