San Francisco Compute is building a market to finance and sell GPU capacity

San Francisco Compute says it helps turn resources into cloud compute capacity and helps new providers sell and finance that capacity through a market intended to reduce their risk.

The company argues that a reliable compute market needs an independent operator with physical responsibility for infrastructure—from managing data centers, and sometimes building them, to standardizing how capacity is delivered. It says index prices and cash-settled futures alone are disconnected from the underlying compute.
