Overview
At Blacksmith, we provide cloud infra to help companies run their CI (GitHub Actions) substantially faster and cheaper. Our mission is to build a CI cloud. Our bet is that CI, as a class of workloads, is ready to be unbundled from the hyperscaler clouds (AWS/GCP/Azure). This is a bold statement, and we have an ambitious roadmap ahead.
Some things we're proud of
We orchestrate millions of VMs for CI jobs each month over our own fleet of bare metal hardware.
We power CI for 900+ fast-growing startups like Supabase, UserTesting, Ashby, Slope, AtoB, Pylon, and Finch.
Founders: Aditya Maru and Aayush Shah were early systems engineers at Cockroach Labs. Aditya (JP) Jayaprakash worked on search infra and was later a founding member of the ads team at Faire.
We went through Y Combinator's W24 batch and raised $13.5M Series A from Google Ventures
