About the Company

  • San Francisco Compute exists to give ambitious teams large scale supercomputers without taking on a catastrophic balance sheet risk.
  • Most GPU clouds force long term contracts with no way out.
  • SFC builds data centers, supercomputers, and leases machines on contracts that let customers sublease.
  • SFC invented the first compute market and became the first to offer physical settlement.
  • SFC operates GPU clusters like a neocloud and derisks customers like a market.
  • Customers want to transact with the folks that have the keys to the cluster and can own the SLA.
  • SFC serves financially motivated parties as a technical partner to build, operate, & lease supercomputers on their behalf.
  • SFC helps folks who want an economic return build GPU clusters on their balance sheet, but operated in full by SFC.
  • SFC's ability to offer subleasing can significantly increase the levered returns for cluster owners.
  • SFC's hybrid model out-performs brokered contracts or other “compute markets”.
  • SFC can design custom solutions for customers, like clusters deployed in regions next to your dataset or physical eval set or a large CPU fleet deployed colocated with your GPU cluster.
  • The team includes senior & technical leadership from places like Lambda, Crusoe, Digital Ocean, AWS, and Hut8.
  • The CTO is the cofounder and former CEO of Voltage Park.
  • The team has deployed 8GW of datacenter capacity & hundreds of thousands of GPUs.
  • The team has been described as having “the highest talent density in the space.”
  • We are looking for honorable, gritty people with eyes wide open & good epistemics, who want to see AI go right.
