About Blaxel

Blaxel is a cloud infrastructure company purpose-built for AI agents, often described as 'AWS for AI Agents.' The platform provides a serverless, perpetual sandbox environment enabling developers to build, deploy, and scale autonomous AI agents without managing underlying infrastructure. Its core differentiator is a sub-25ms sandbox resume time powered by microVM technology, co-located agent hosting, a unified AI gateway, and GitHub-native developer workflows. Founded in 2024 by six co-founders who previously built and sold ForePaaS to OVHcloud, Blaxel is backed by First Round Capital and Y Combinator.
