Job Summary
About
Compute is a commodity. We think people should buy it like one.
Startups shouldnt be forced to buy a years worth of compute time in order to get market rate and compute providers shouldnt go bankrupt because they cant fully book their clusters.
At SF Compute our goal is to solve this issue the same way this was solved for every other commodity by building a venue where compute contracts are traded in real-time and by bringing a new kind of participant into the supply chain traders.
If we succeed buyers will be able to get a good price for any order whether its 32 H100s for a month or 8000 H100s for an hour and sellers will instantly book out their clusters because traders will speculatively buy them for a spread. Every FLOP will flow through us somewhere in the supply chain. WhatBrentis for oil we will be for compute.
