Shadeform

Shadeform is a specialized GPU infrastructure company that operates a unified cloud marketplace designed to address the global GPU compute shortage. By acting as a single control plane, the platform aggregates capacity from over 20 specialized cloud providers, allowing engineering teams to compare, rent, and manage high-performance GPU instances—such as NVIDIA H100s and B200s—without the complexities of vendor lock-in or fragmented billing. Founded by veterans of major cloud infrastructure firms, the company simplifies the deployment of AI workloads by abstracting the disparate interfaces of various providers into a single, cohesive API and dashboard. Through its 'Capacity Solutions' service, Shadeform also facilitates the deployment of large-scale, managed clusters for organizations requiring predictable, high-performance compute. By bridging the gap between specialized cloud operators and AI developers, Shadeform enables teams to scale their machine learning infrastructure efficiently across a multi-cloud ecosystem.

Shadeform’s mission is to unify machine learning infrastructure across clouds, ensuring that engineering teams and AI startups are never blocked by capacity shortages or provider-specific limitations.
