Andromeda was created to serve as a VC-backed cluster for companies within the Nat Friedman and Daniel Gross (NFDG) portfolio, specifically recipients of their [AI Grant](https://aigrant.com/) (or [AI Grant](https://aigrant.org/)). The company also operates the popular website [gpulist.ai](http://gpulist.ai). Their model now involves procuring capacity from a range of neoclouds on our list, on behalf of the startups. Effectively they are a “fractional SRE” or “fractional procurement team” that the startups can lean on. User described to us that Andromeda can take these clusters and deploy their own orchestration layer, primarily via Slurm on Kubernetes, with light namespace isolation between tenants. It seems that the NFDG portfolio companies trust each other.

With Nat and Daniel first going to SSI, and now joining Meta, it is uncertain what the future holds for Andromeda. We are excited by the concept of strategic VCs backing startups with compute capacity in addition to cash, allowing them to compete with startup programs from strategics like the hyperscalers, CoreWeave, and NVIDIA’s NVentures. We look forward to seeing more from Andromeda in the future.
