Our take

Lambda is a leading provider of deep learning GPU cloud services and computing hardware, founded to aid in providing a solution to the difficult problem of teaching machines how to see and learn.

Their customers include Apple, Intel, Microsoft, Linkedin, and Fortune 500 companies like Microsoft and Amazon Research, so it's no coincidence that Lambda GPU Cloud ranks number three on a google search for 'GPU cloud', behind only NVIDIA and Google itself.

With investments from 1517, Gradient Ventures, Bloomberg Beta, and Razer, Lambda intends on using the capital to expand its cloud and software, engineering teams. As well as looking to ramp up more investments into its GPU cloud, the company is constantly working to improve its hardware products.
