Sovereign AIInfrastructure.Built from Europe.
Your AI. Your rules. No lock-in.
Three engineers in Mallorca, building the missing middle of EU AI infrastructure.
AI is the most transformative technology of our generation. And almost nobody has real agency over it.
Three companies control 70% of AI compute. They charge you for GPUs you're not using. They lock your code into proprietary SDKs. They route your data through US jurisdiction and call it "global infrastructure."
We watched teams burn months migrating off platforms when pricing changed overnight. We saw startups killed by cloud bills they didn't see coming. We saw European builders blocked by GDPR risks they couldn't mitigate.
The infrastructure layer that powers AI shouldn't be a prison. So three engineers from Palma de Mallorca started building a different way — European, sovereign, and built to let you own your work.
The 4 Injustices We Solve
Unfair Billing
You pay for idle time, failed boots, and capacity you never used. That's not a pricing model — it's a tax on trying. We charge for the seconds your model actually ran. Nothing else.
No Control
Proprietary formats, opaque pricing, lock-in by design. When a provider changes terms overnight, your entire product economics shift. We give you multi-cloud routing and one-config-line provider switching.
No Giveback
PyTorch, Transformers, Stable Diffusion — all open-source. The platforms extracting billions? Walled gardens. We allocate 10% of R&D to applied research and academic collaboration.
Lack of Democracy
Top-tier AI requires massive commitments. A solo creator in Mallorca should run the same pipeline as a London enterprise. Capability governed by imagination, not credit limit.
Our North Star
Vision
"A world where anyone — from a solo creator to an enterprise — can deploy, use, and build on AI without being locked in, overcharged, or dependent on Big Tech."
Mission
We make AI accessible to anyone by providing open-source, modular infrastructure that is transparent, fair, and sovereign. Every tool we build reduces your dependency on us and on Big Tech.
What Drives Every Decision
Autonomy
You own your deployments, models, and data. No platform gets to hold your work hostage. OpenAPI-compatible routing means you switch providers with a one-line config change — no rewrite required.
Self-sufficiency
Our tools make you less dependent on consultants, proprietary ecosystems, and gatekeepers. SPAINE lets a creator build a multi-model pipeline in 15 minutes without writing code. Capability compounds in your hands, not ours.
Independence
Freedom from Big Tech, vendor lock-in, and US-centric infrastructure. Our data plane stays in the EU, our pricing is public, and our architecture is multi-cloud by design. No single provider can hold you hostage.
How Our Values Translate
Every value manifests as a concrete product decision.
Autonomy
Standard Docker. No lock-in.
We use standard FastAPI and Docker — not proprietary packaging. We built an Exit Ramp tool so you can leave anytime. Real portability means the door is always open.
Self-sufficiency
One command to production.
Deploy an AI service with socaity deploy. No Kubernetes. No YAML. No DevOps team. SPAINE lets non-technical creators build multi-model workflows visually.
Independence
EU-only infrastructure.
Spain primary, Germany failover. No US entity access to your data — ever. GDPR Article 30 audit logs included. DPA on signup. EU AI Act enforcement begins August 2026 — we're already compliant.
Fairness
Active-only billing.
You pay for the seconds your model actually ran. Nothing else. No boot time charges, no idle fees, no zombie bills. You see the cost before you click Run.
We Give Back to the Commons
The open-source community built AI. PyTorch, Transformers, Stable Diffusion, LLaMA — all open research. The platforms extracting billions from it give nothing back. We choose differently.
We refuse to be another walled garden. Every core library is MIT licensed, every API contract is OpenAPI-compatible, and every deployment uses standard Docker. The exit door is always open.
10%
Applied research & academic collaboration
FastSDK
Open source, MIT licensed
OpenAPI
Any HTTP client works — zero coupling
Docker
Your code is always portable
How We Work
We ship, then iterate.
No standups for the sake of standups. No sprint planning theater. We ship working software, review what happened, and iterate. The product is the accountability layer.
Everyone touches everything.
Every engineer touches infrastructure and product. No ivory towers. No ticket queues from product managers you've never met. You own your domain end-to-end.
We grow with revenue, not dilution.
Bootstrapped and revenue-funded. Every euro of traction came from builders who found us through the product itself — not because a sales team convinced them.
We give back to open-source.
10% of R&D goes to applied research and academic collaboration. The commons that built AI deserves reciprocity, not extraction.
Remote-first, startup intensity.
We're distributed across the EU with our HQ in Palma de Mallorca. The pace is intense but the structure doesn't require co-location or burning out. 80% of spend goes to R&D.
