OpenAI
GPT models for reasoning, code and multimodal work.
PARTNERS
The AI ecosystem, on your terms.
We are independent and model-agnostic. We build with the best of the ecosystem and stay loyal to your outcome, not to one vendor's roadmap.
Independence is a design choice. We select the model, cloud and tooling that win for your problem, your data residency and your compliance line, then integrate them into production inside your operation.

Building is expensive. We made it less so.
Every startup burns cash on the same things before it burns cash on the thing that matters. Cloud bills. Payment processing. The tools you need before you've earned a dollar. None of it is the product. All of it is the tax you pay to build the product.
We negotiated that tax down. Not for us — for you.
These eight are the ones that matter first. Not the longest list we could find — the one your company actually needs in the first ninety days.
Run on the infrastructure we're already building for you
AWS
Unfunded: $5,000 in credit, six months. Funded: up to $150,000, two years. We architect it. This pays for it.
Google Cloud
$2,000 to start. $350,000 if you've raised. Built for the GPU-heavy, AI-native workloads we deploy.
DigitalOcean
$5,000 in credit, twelve months. The entry point for teams still finding their scale.
Auth0
Credit toward identity infrastructure. It's already part of what we build. Now it's part of what you save.
Solve the first ninety days
Stripe
Your next $20,000 in payments, on us. Take the fees out of the equation before you've made your first sale.
Notion
Credit toward the workspace your company will run on from day one.
HubSpot
90% off year one, 50% year two, 25% year three. Up to $7,000 back into the business. For our product companies — not open to agencies or service businesses.
