Founded in 2019, we build an end-to-end platform for developing, training, and deploying AI systems—designed to take ideas from research to production with less friction.\nThrough our merger with Voltage Park, a neocloud and AI Factory, Lightning AI combines developer-first software with cost-efficient, large-scale compute. Teams get the tools they need for experimentation, training, and production inference, with security, observability, and control built in.\nWe serve solo researchers, startups, and large enterprises. Lightning AI operates globally with offices in New York City, San Francisco, Seattle, and London, and is backed by Coatue, Index Ventures, Bain Capital Ventures, and Firstminute.\nThe Way We Work\nThe people who thrive here are builders who move fast, communicate openly, take ownership, and continuously improve themselves, their teams, and our company. Here's what that looks like in practice:\nMove with Urgency: We move quickly, make thoughtful decisions, and keep momentum. We value action over perfection and learn by shipping.\nTake Ownership: We own outcomes, not just our individual work. We make decisions that move the company forward and follow through.\nCommunicate Openly: We communicate directly, seek to understand, and create clarity for others. Honest conversations help us move faster together.\nBuild Great Teams: We lead by example, empower others, and create healthy teams where people can do their best work.\nRaise the Bar: We're always improving ourselves. We learn from feedback, consistently challenge ourselves to grow, and focus on the work that matters most.\nThink Long-Term: We design for what's next. We create scalable systems, simplify complexity, and use AI and automation to amplify our impact.\n\nLightning AI is the company behind PyTorch Lightning.
