Starcloud is building data centers in space, to address the AI energy need. We recently launched the first H100 to space. White paper at

Thanks @YCombinator for documenting @Starcloud_Inc1’s journey to launching the first @Nvidia H100 in space 🙏 Check it out below! 🎥🤓

[Y Combinator @ycombinator]

Starcloud (@Starcloud_Inc1) recently made history by launching a satellite with an NVIDIA H100 into orbit — the first time a GPU that powerful has ever operated in space. It's the first step toward building AI data centers in orbit, powered by continuous sunlight and cooled by radiating heat into deep space.

Their approach could one day rival the world's biggest data centers while using less energy, zero fresh water, and far lower emissions.

YC's @aaron_epstein visited Starcloud's HQ, where co-founders @philipjohnston, @EzraFeilden, and @Adi_Oltean explained how they built a working prototype in just 15 months — and why big tech is racing to space for AI compute.

Founders! Before you go out to raise, ask all the best AI models this:

"Play the role of a venture capitalist and give each startup in the XYZ [[category of your startup]] space a ranking from 1 to 10 for how much you would want to invest in them, with 1 = 'don't want to invest at all', and 10 = 'desperately want to invest'. Do deep research and give reasons."

All the VCs are doing some version of this, and if you are not at the top of this list, you're going to have problems, so it might make sense to delay the raise until you can get closer to the top.
