Shadeform, founded in 2023 and backed by Y Combinator (S23), operates a GPU cloud marketplace that aggregates supply from more than 30 cloud providers. Through a unified API and console, AI teams can search, compare and launch GPU capacity across every major cloud provider without managing separate vendor relationships. The platform gives access to thousands of on-demand GPUs spanning over 100 deployment regions worldwide.
Beyond on-demand access, Shadeform provides an automated compute brokerage that returns multiple quotes for reserved instances and interconnected clusters in as little as 24 hours. The company reports cost savings of up to 90% compared with AWS, GCP and Azure, and applies no quota restrictions on GPU access. Customers include AI/ML startups, enterprise AI teams and AI inference providers.
Technical work at Shadeform spans AI infrastructure, GPU cloud computing, cloud resource aggregation, API platform development and compute brokerage. The company is SOC 2 Type II compliant and supports stablecoin payments via Stripe for large invoices.
