That’s where Pump comes in, we bring companies together under one umbrella - as long as there’s other companies within the same region and using the same instance as you, Pump rotates these commitments across Company A to B and so on; thus shrinking a 3 year commitment to just about a month; maximum savings and minimal risk 😀\n\n![](https://assets-global.website-files.com/634b9f9236d9ffdc11dc0eb6/65041ea8580984bf8c7e4065_pump-schema.webp)\n\n**What’s new with this launch?**\n\nPreviously, we could work with companies around the world with the exception of India (irony much?). For legal and tax reasons, AWS has set up a completely different entity for the country and to work with Indian customers, we ourselves had to setup a subsidiary in India. Our second highest traffic & signups always came from India since our launch in April, and given this strong pull we decided to go down this path even as a young company.\n\nWe are beyond PUMPED to go live in India and save Indian customers up to 60% on AWS costs!\n\n**Why this launch is important?**\n\nWhile adapting our product for India wasn’t that much work, we went through a grueling 4 months of copious paperwork, legalese and tests of patience.\n\nThere was just so much monumental effort that went in that we essentially had to package this as a launch :’)\n\n**How to get started?**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=75947&key=user_uploads/1048566/7f11d87f-9555-44a2-bff9-a96ce9679e39)\n\n**🙏 Our ask:**\n\nIf you’re an Indian company (or otherwise too), sign up at [**app.pump.co**](https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidprosser/2023/10/05/how-pump-promises-to-slash-your-runaway-cloud-computing-costs/) and to see your estimated savings.\n\n[**https://youtu.be/5L5SEQaXlNw**](https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidprosser/2023/10/05/how-pump-promises-to-slash-your-runaway-cloud-computing-costs/)", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/Jkx-pump-india-save-60-on-aws-for-free-now-live-in-india", "votes": 6, "created_at": "2023-11-02T14:55:14.978Z" }, { "id": 71529, "title": "Pump: The fastest way to save 60% on AWS", "tagline": "Use AI to optimize your cloud savings on autopilot.

These data help companies understand how their profitability breaks down by product and customer, allowing them to make optimal strategic decisions about pricing, resource allocation and cloud architecture.\n\n### Problem\n\nMost tech companies **don’t know how much it costs to serve each of their customers with each of their products**. Cloud costs are typically a tech company’s second-largest cost (after personnel), and they can vary significantly even on a per-unit basis, i.e. irrespective of volume.\n\nWithout per-customer and per-product cost information, companies can’t reliably know:\n\n1. What’s our margin on Customer A?\n2. What’s our margin on Product B?\n3. Which usage events drove Customer C’s costs last month?\n4. What are our costs likely to be on new Customer D?\n\nNormally, if an engineering or finance team wants to know the answer to one of these questions, they have to either 1) **make an estimate that could be wildly inaccurate** based on average total costs or 2) “**track down an engineer** to run experiments in AWS.” (That was a direct quote from a CFO.)\n\n### Solution\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=70237&key=user_uploads/1165030/8fb86e1e-9f54-4127-ad9e-e0ac5daf701f)\n\n**Dashdive answers these questions** by monitoring backend services (servers, databases, etc.) with lightweight agents. These agents **attribute the activity on each cloud service to specific features and customers** using distributed tracing and continuous profiling. Then, the usage data are **mapped to cost** data via AWS/GCP/Azure billing APIs. The result is a complete picture of who and what are driving cloud costs over time.\n\nGranular cloud cost data allow companies to:\n\n1. Know if they’re pricing an existing customer too low—or below cost.\n2. Hone in on individual lines of code and architectural decisions that incur disproportionate costs. (Other tools can only give generic cost-cutting recommendations based on total costs, e.g. “consider reserving storage in advance for a discount,” since they just repackage existing AWS billing data.)\n3. Give customers who complain about high bills or opaque pricing an adequate explanation (and perhaps even suggested usage patterns to reduce future bills).\n4. Better forecast the cost of serving a new customer based on expected usage. This helps teams price contracts optimally to hit margin goals consistently.\n\n### Setup\n\nInstallation only involves deploying Dashdive agents to each service of interest. This takes five minutes and requires **zero code changes**. Although our backend is cloud-based by default, **Dashdive can be self-hosted** for companies that need to keep all data within their ecosystem.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=70237&key=user_uploads/1165030/943447c4-84fd-4a29-a67c-46f3ae266fcc)\n\n_This is the entire setup for AWS Lambda, a popular cloud service._\n\n### Why Now\n\nSupply and demand factors make now the perfect time to launch this product:\n\n* **Supply**: Monitoring technologies eBPF and OpenTelemetry have come a long way in the past few years. Both technologies allow seamless monitoring of different technology stacks, removing friction where engineering teams would have otherwise needed to make significant investments in setup and maintenance. Application performance monitoring companies like Datadog have proven that monitoring dozens of services is technically feasible and can be profitable even at scale.\n* **Demand**: As the cost of capital has increased and fundraising has become less certain, profitability is the only way to guarantee business survival. Business and engineering leaders are placing newfound importance on margin health.\n\nGiven these factors, this opportunity emerged in the last twelve months.\n\n### Get in Touch\n\nMore information at [dashdive.com](http://dashdive.com).

A foodie with the power of Spring Boot as his spirit animal 🐩 😄\n\nWe got a lot of battle scars figuring out what’s the best way to operate your cloud. Now we’ve built Cloudchipr so that you don’t have to! 🚀\n\n### ❌ **The Problem**\n\nAll clouds make it very easy to start using resources. That’s how they are designed and that’s why they won. Problem is, that freedom very quickly turns into a mess eventually hurting the bottom line and becoming an operational hurdle.\n\n**Where it hurts Product and Engineering:**\n\n* Services and resources sprawl out of control across various geographies and cloud regions.\n* Resources get wasted to ensure developer convenience (dev machines run over weekends, holidays and non-working hours alike).\n* Routine operational maintenance becomes a burden and a time consuming activity for expensive DevOps and SRE engineers.\n* Every launched resource in the cloud becomes a monument - once it’s there no one risks to touch and it lingers around forever.\n\n**Where it hurts the Business side:**\n\n* Accountability and trackability becomes an issue: ask any series B (or later stage) company startup CFO how much a particular project costs on a cloud and see them roll their eyes.\n* Cloud is treated as a black box. Although being one of the largest cost centres finance has little visibility into what is actually going on. They are expected to foot the bill with 0 insights or understanding how the money is actually spent.\n* Very hard to forecast spend and act on if it gets out of hand.\n\n### **🪄 The Solution**\n\nWatch our [Demo Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QLy74eGnLg)\n\nCloudchipr is an AWS qualified SaaS platform (we also support GCP and Azure) which provides a suite of powerful tools for cost tracking, resource management, and automation. It simplifies cloud operations, streamlines DevOps workflows while giving financial visibiliy, predictability and control. \n\n✅ **Cost Optimization by granular cost tracking and reporting.** It allows to monitor cloud expenses in real-time and optimize their usage to reduce waste. \n\n✅ **Resource Management:** Cloudchipr provides a centralized dashboard that provides full visibility into their cloud infrastructure across all geographies and cloud regions.\n\n✅ **Automation workflows:** Cloudchipr's automation features enable teams to streamline their DevOps workflows and automate routine operational tasks. With Cloudchipr, businesses can set up notifications and actions based on their criteria and free up valuable time and resources for other important tasks.\n\n**For example:**\n\n* If a resource is underutilized, Cloudchipr will notify the owner to take an action.\n* If there are resources without an owner, a slack message will be sent.\n* Stops expensive GPU nodes based on configurable usage criteria (e.g. idle more than 3 hours)\n* Stops/Starts the selected dev databases and virtual machines at night and on weekends\n* Takes care about resources being properly tagged.\n\n✅ **LAST BUT NOT LEAST:** It’s 2023, so you should be able to talk to your cloud and your cloud should talk back!  We are launching the first version of **CloudChat -** an interactive Natural-Language interface for querying, reporting and setting automations for your cloud. \n\nCloudchipr automates the cloud cost saving and reporting, and helps the finance and engineering departments save money and time by removing the friction around the costs saving.

Trade settlement requires extensive coordination across firms, yet the current financial infrastructure is extremely fragmented. The industry acknowledges the inefficiency, but it’s been difficult to improve because workflows are heavily reliant on manual emails, disparate systems, and inconsistently structured data.\n\nTo make matters worse, the US just shortened the settlement timeline from 2 days to only 1, forcing operations professionals to perform the same workload in half the time.\n\n# **The Solution**\n\nThe advent of powerful AI technology can unlock greater efficiencies than ever before. Leveraging LLMs, TradeFlow digests and centralizes data from all key sources and automates action items, like booking trades and writing emails. Instead of completing time-intensive tasks by hand, operations professionals can offload them to TradeFlow and simply review the work at the end.\n\nWe empower back offices to do more with less, so trades can settle faster with a fraction of the human effort.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=82527&key=user_uploads/726397/a05be150-dcab-46d1-b424-ea41f5c37152)\n\n# **Our Ask**\n\n* Let us know at [sales@tradeflowai.com](mailto:sales@tradeflowai.com) if you have any financial services leaders in your network (brokers, banks, institutional investment firms)!

They are joined by K8 Capital, Night Capital, TrueBridge, Brainchild Holdings, UFO Holdings, Y Combinator and angel investors such as Dmitry Balyasny. Alongside the launch, the company is announcing pending applications before the CFTC for Designated Contract Market (DCM) and Derivatives Clearing Organization (DCO) status to build the first regulated exchange to trade both cash and physically settled contracts on AI infrastructure, starting with compute.\n\n## The Strategic Rationale for Regulation\n\nBuilding a true financial layer for compute requires the same institutional-grade framework that governs traditional commodities. While pursuing a regulated path is long and arduous, and liquidity is difficult to bootstrap, startup entrants such as ICE in energy, CBOE in volatility, and Kalshi in event contracts prevailed and actually accrued most of the financial value in the commoditization of their multi-trillion-dollar asset classes precisely because they secured regulatory status while focusing deeply on the unique physical and structural nuances of their specific markets.\n\nFor compute, there are unique physical dynamics that are particularly challenging to overcome. Oil can be stored in a barrel. Compute cannot. If a GPU sits idle this afternoon, that capacity evaporates forever. Its value depends entirely on location, availability, configuration, and the specific workloads it can run. The heterogeneity of compute is actually far more analogous to the power markets, but instead of acting as a proxy of generating electricity, compute acts as a direct proxy for access to intelligence, making it a critical pillar of both economic and national power. The United States recognizes this reality and is pouring unprecedented capital into chips, data centers, and energy grid expansion to secure its geopolitical edge. However, building supply is only half the equation. To truly secure compute as a strategic asset, America needs robust, regulated market infrastructure to price it, allocate it efficiently, finance its rapid growth, and allow dependent companies to manage their risk.\n\n## Enabling the Compute Trader\n\nBecause intelligence is rapidly developing a measurable cost curve, massive businesses will need to manage their exposure to it. Enterprises running heavy inference will need to hedge against rising AI costs. Neoclouds will need to lock in future utilization revenues, and lenders financing data centers will need forward prices to underwrite cash flows.\n\nThis reality is driving a massive structural shift where the buyer of compute is no longer always the end user. A new class of participant is emerging, including neoclouds, brokers, and dedicated trading firms looking to buy capacity, warehouse it, resell it, arbitrage price differences, or simply take a speculative view.\n\nToday, these participants trade on fundamentally bilateral, cumbersome infrastructure. Every resale requires a new contract, a fresh credit decision, another payment setup, and a separate SLA. As capacity changes hands, the chain of liability becomes hopelessly tangled.\n\nLiquid Compute exists to abstract away that complexity. Before a meaningful futures market can launch, the industry must standardize exactly what is being delivered, which requires verifiable infrastructure, defined performance metrics, and credible physical reference prices. By building an Exchange for Physical (EFP) market and clearing transactions through a common framework, any participant with a balance sheet will be able to take a position on compute without needing to become a cloud operator, credit underwriter, or AI company.\n\nThis is precisely why the company has partnered with institutional market participants like Susquehanna, BGC, and Wintermute. Liquid Compute is building the infrastructure that empowers market makers, lenders, and entirely new classes of participants to trade compute as a liquid asset. More participants taking risk means a more liquid physical market, which in turn creates robust reference prices for the financial market above it. Our overall thesis is that intelligence becomes a utility supplied by many vendors, that its cost becomes a variable buyers have to actively manage, and that managing it well requires a trusted reference price, standardized contracts, and a market to trade them in.\n\nLiquid Compute is a Y Combinator W25 company based in New York.", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/PWz-liquid-compute", "votes": 142, "created_at": "2026-02-24T18:07:42.893Z" } ] }, { "id": 30292, "name": "Mesh", "slug": "mesh-2", "former_names": [ "Cart", "Mesh", "mesh" ], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/23ccdc4419907ee05321c76c632bbd5270cb8764.png", "website": "http://www.usemesh.com", "all_locations": "San Francisco, CA, USA", "long_description": "Month-end shouldn’t be a race against the clock.\r\n\r\nFor most mid-to-enterprise finance teams, accruals are a manual bottleneck.

Use our platform to build proprietary models using open source that progressively improve.\n\n[**Our Launch Video**](https://youtu.be/Qiw-HG14AVE)\n\n## **The Problems:**\n\nFrontier models from Anthropic, OpenAI and Google are constantly pushing the boundary of intelligence further, but great quality comes with high latency and cost. Smaller models are fast, but can't get the job done right.\n\nSo you start modifying system prompts. It takes you far enough, but at some point you hit a ceiling. And every time a new model comes out, your prompts don't work the same way anymore! (just February 2026 alone, Opus 4.6 and Sonnet 4.6 from Anthropic, Gemini 3.1 Pro from Google, GPT-5.3-Codex from Open AI, Qwen 3.5 from Alibaba came out to name a few.)\n\n## **Solution:**\n\nWe build you a proprietary model tuned to your tasks so you always have access to the most performant model for your agent.\n\nOur platform records your agent’s activity and tunes an optimized model from an open source base model. Once it's ready, swap out the frontier model for yours. That's it. As new production data flows in, we continuously evaluate and retrain your model to boost performance. What you get is a model specialized to your tasks that outperforms frontier.\n\n## **Why this matters to your startup:**\n\nIn the short run, you need your agent to be faster and more accurate, and prompt tuning will only get you so far. We are the fastest way to get there.\n\nIn the long run, every company building agents is using the same frontier models. Your competitor has the same intelligence you do. The thing that differentiates you is the knowledge you distill into your own model. Your model is your moat.\n\n## **Team:**\n\nChris led AI at Skylo Technologies, the world's largest commercial direct-to-device satellite network that provides satellite communications services to Google, Samsung, and Garmin devices.\n\nYuta was a senior data scientist at Snowflake where he developed financial forecasts through ML that supported the company's hypergrowth from pre-IPO to billions in revenue.\n\n## **How you can help:**\n\nIf you are building agents or know anyone building agents who would appreciate a model that outperforms frontier on their tasks, let us know at [contact@carrotlabs.ai](mailto:contact@carrotlabs.ai).\n\nOur self-serve agent eval SDKs are available.

We're Josh, Michael, and Manny and we're building Fire Wallet!\r\n\r\n🔥Why we built this\r\n\r\nMost wallets and payment processors don’t work FOR you. They're slow, route your payments in the way that earns them the most, and they leak your financial life to anyone asking. Worse: every single one hold the keys to your money.\r\n\r\nWe believe your financial tools should act in your interest and, frankly, that your money should be yours.\r\n\r\n 🔥What Fire does\r\n\r\nMulti-chain, non-custodial, end-to-end encrypted wallet. \r\nYour keys, your money, your assets: you are in full control of your funds at all times. \r\nLeast Cost Routing. Every swap and payment takes the cheapest path, not the one that pays a middleman the most.\r\nSelf-sovereign payment processing. Send an invoice straight from the wallet. Get paid from your web checkout. No middleman.\r\nEasy fiat on/off ramps. Move stablecoins to USD and back without the pain.\r\nBuilt for agentic commerce. Manage per-agent sub-wallets for agentic workflows.\r\nEncrypted by default. Protecting you from bad actors and surveillance capitalism.\r\n\r\n🔥Early traction\r\n\r\nSigned our first major LOI with @Trustboop (founded by Justice Laub of Drone Racing League and Rob Rhinehart of Soylent).\r\n\r\nOnboarding our first enterprise customer in ecommerce packaging and marketing, doing about $1.5M/month in volume. They've connected us to 10 more companies in the same vertical at similar volume, roughly a $100M/yr GMV opportunity.\r\n\r\n🔥Why us\r\n\r\nJosh and Manuel led the creation of MobileCoin, the cryptocurrency in Signal Messenger: $100M+ raised, $1.16B peak valuation, $4B+ peak coin market cap, acquired in 2026.\r\n\r\nMichael runs product and design.

I worked on Wells Fargo's $350B mortgage-backed securities (MBS) portfolio, then as a portfolio manager on Google Treasury's $17B MBS/ABS portfolio, before leading product strategy across Google's consumer AI products.\n\nI'm building [Oasive](http://www.oasive.ai) to help more fixed income investors find value and act on it.\n\n**The problem**\n\nFinding an attractive trade is only the start. Is it really cheap, what could change that, and does it improve the portfolio? Answering those questions means going back and forth between research, market data, models and spreadsheets.\n\n**What we built**\n\n[Oasive](http://www.oasive.ai) helps you uncover opportunities you might otherwise miss, compare investments and test the risks before putting on a trade. Macro and Rates Research and our MBS Platform are live today:\n\n* **Macro and Rates Research:** Which Treasury maturities look cheap, and is there a curve trade worth putting on? Use our proprietary valuation models to compare maturities, curve trades and butterflies. Check how many Fed cuts are priced in, dig into market moves and economic releases, and keep exploring with unlimited chats and follow-ups.\n* **MBS Platform:** Which MBS pools look attractive, and why? Use proprietary prepayment models and collateral analysis to spot relative value and test investment ideas. If rates fall 1%, what happens to your portfolio? Change rate and prepayment assumptions to see the impact on spreads, duration and value across your holdings.\n\n_Municipals, ABS, and corporates are next._\n\n[Oasive](http://www.oasive.ai) is already used across 15+ institutional desks at global banks, asset managers with $100B+ in AUM, and Fortune 500 treasury teams.\n\n**Try it**\n\nStart your Macro and Rates Research free trial or request an MBS demo at — free and paid plans available.\n\n**Our ask**\n\nKnow portfolio managers, traders or analysts on fixed-income desks?
