We believe compute pricing should reflect actual market conditions, not arbitrary markups from cloud monopolies.
Cloud compute is the foundation of modern software, yet pricing remains opaque and inflated. The big three cloud providers charge premium prices because they can, not because they should.
We started KubeBid to change that. By introducing real-time auction pricing to Kubernetes infrastructure, we're creating a transparent marketplace where prices reflect actual supply and demand.
Our customers save 50-80% on compute costs without sacrificing reliability, security, or developer experience. That's money that can go toward building better products, hiring great people, or extending your runway.

From frustrated engineers to infrastructure revolutionaries
Our founders were running ML workloads at a previous startup and spending $400K/month on GPU compute. They noticed prices never changed despite wildly varying demand. There had to be a better way.
What if compute pricing worked like the stock market? Real-time prices based on supply and demand. Bid what you're willing to pay. Get capacity when prices are right.
We raised $18M Series A led by Andreessen Horowitz and built the auction engine, multi-tenant platform, and global infrastructure. First customers went live in Q3.
Today we power 50,000+ clusters across 40 regions. We've saved customers over $2.4M and we're just getting started. Series B coming soon.
The principles that guide everything we do
We show you exactly what you're paying and why. No hidden fees, no surprise bills, no opaque pricing tiers. What you see is what you pay.
Infrastructure should get out of your way. We obsess over API design, CLI ergonomics, and documentation quality so you can focus on building.
Every cluster is isolated. Every connection is encrypted. Every action is logged. Security isn't a feature, it's the foundation.
We succeed when our customers succeed. Every decision starts with "how does this help our customers save money or move faster?"
