About the Company
- San Francisco Compute provides large-scale supercomputers to ambitious teams without catastrophic balance sheet risk, unlike traditional GPU clouds with long-term contracts.
- SFC builds data centers and supercomputers, then leases them on contracts that allow customers to sublease.
- The company invented the first compute market and offers physical settlement, operating GPU clusters like a cloud and derisking customers like a market.
- SFC serves financially motivated parties as a technical partner to build, operate, and lease supercomputers on their behalf, enabling economic returns for cluster owners.
- Their hybrid model outperforms brokered contracts and other compute markets by offering custom solutions like regional deployments or colocated CPU fleets.
- The team includes senior leadership from Lambda, Crusoe, Digital Ocean, AWS, and Hut8, with a CTO who is the cofounder and former CEO of Voltage Park.
- The team has experience deploying 8GW of datacenter capacity and hundreds of thousands of GPUs.
