About Thunder Compute

Thunder Compute is the GPU sandbox company.

The world is spending billions of dollars building data center capacity, but GPUs only average around 20% utilization. They are also still hard to share, isolate, and hand over to AI agents.

At Thunder Compute, we've built GPU sandboxes: full Ubuntu environments with GPU access for agents running ML experiments, CUDA code, and other GPU workloads. This began as a research prototype, which we have spent the last four years getting ready for production.

During YC, we launched a cloud offering to test our software, and since then, over 10,000 users have run their workloads on Thunder Compute.

You can try GPU sandboxes through our managed cloud, or contact our team about expanding the capacity of your own GPU fleet: https://www.thundercompute.com
