About Andromeda Cluster Andromeda Cluster was founded by Nat Friedman and Daniel Gross to give early-stage startups access to advanced AI infrastructure that was once limited to hyperscalers. The company began with a single managed cluster, which quickly filled, and has since focused on building the systems, networking, and orchestration layers that make global AI resources more accessible. Today, Andromeda works with leading AI labs, data centers, and cloud providers to deliver compute resources wherever and whenever they are needed. The platform routes training and inference workloads across a worldwide supply chain, aiming for greater flexibility and efficiency in the fast-growing AI sector.
