Shadeform, founded in 2023 and backed by Y Combinator (S23), operates a GPU cloud marketplace designed to centralise AI compute procurement. Its platform aggregates GPU supply from over 30 cloud providers across more than 100 deployment regions worldwide, offering AI teams a single API and console to find, compare, and launch capacity without managing multiple vendor relationships.
The company's Automated Compute Brokerage System enables teams to receive multiple quotes for reserved instances and interconnected clusters in as little as 24 hours. Shadeform reports potential GPU cost savings of up to 90% compared to pricing from AWS, GCP, and Azure. The platform is SOC 2 Type II compliant and supports stablecoin payments via Stripe for large invoices.
Shadeform operates in the AI infrastructure and cloud computing sectors, positioning itself as an intermediary layer between GPU cloud providers and organisations requiring AI compute at scale.
