Unlock wasted GPU capacity.
Expanse unlocks wasted GPU capacity. We recover idle compute through three capabilities: resource prediction (right-sizing job submissions before they reach the scheduler), optimisation suggestions (code and config changes researchers can apply themselves), and failure prediction (catching jobs that will fail before they consume hours of GPU time). We’re four engineers. We ran HPC and GPU training workloads at the largest quant funds and national supercomputing centres. We faced this problem first hand and the only fix was to over-provision and burn millions. Ismaeel built the first multimodal HPC resource predictor as research at EPCC (Edinburgh’s Parallel Computing Centre), which beat every published baseline. This is the tool we wish we had.
As reported in public records reported — not modeled.
Solid bars are reported offering amounts reported; hatched bars are the modeled post-money valuation est. — both on one shared scale so you can read raise-vs-worth at each round directly. Use the toggles to overlay data labels and the niche-peer / market average value lines.
The line shows cumulative reported funding over the period; + labels show new capital added between points when there is room. Toggle on-bar figures, plus the niche-peer and market averages, to read this company against its cohort. Benchmarks are modeled medians.
Stages are modeled from round size (public records carry no series label). No record for: Pre-Seed — the company may have raised it under a different exemption, merged it into an adjacent record, or skipped it. Sequence completeness: 80%.
Round size and date are reported; the stage label is inferred from round size (latest is Series C — a $40M–$100M round). Valuation is modeled from stage benchmarks scaled by the technology sector profile. Directional, not a quoted figure.
Benchmarked against 21292 companies in Other Technology. Each bar is a median (the middle company, not an average — outliers don't skew it). Two yardsticks: real money raised (reported on Form D) and modeled value (our estimate est.). These are whole-sector medians across all stages, except the per-stage row.
Raised more than 97% of sector peers (real $). Modeled value above 98% of peers (estimate).
A tighter cohort than the sector chart above — only companies at the same stage (Series C) that last raised in the same ~3-year era, ranked by modeled value est. (not money raised). This is the exact set the analyst read compares against, so a like-for-like cohort is what makes "over/under-valued" meaningful. This company ranks #36 of 203.
