About Outerport
Outerport was founded by Towaki Takikawa and joined Y Combinator in the Summer 2024 batch. It began by building software that keeps AI model weights in CPU memory or on disk and loads them into a GPU on demand, so one GPU can switch between models without a slow cold start. Its current Y Combinator profile describes a different focus, design automation for industrial electrical controls, with simulators built from plant schematics to support commissioning and operator training. The company is based in San Francisco. The shift away from GPU infrastructure means it may no longer fit a compute hardware directory.
Outerport was founded in 2024 and is based in San Francisco, CA, United States. It is listed under AI Accelerators. Reported funding is YC S24.
