Pump (YC S22)

Matcha is expensive. Cloud infrastructure is too. If you’re paying for premium resources, you want to make sure you’re getting the most out of them. Pump helps companies reduce unnecessary cloud spending and get more value from their infrastructure budget. So more of that budget can go toward the things that matter. Like matcha!

Happy Friday from @spndn07 @LiamFahrion and the rest of the pump Berkeley boys Just got some fire hats

Great night hosting dinner with the @rhobusiness team last night! One of the best parts of building in the startup ecosystem is getting to work alongside teams like Rho. Always a great time getting everyone together for good food, strong conversations, and talking shop with people who care deeply about what they’re building.

Michelle Lim, founder and CEO of Flint AI, joins the Pumpcast to talk about building the future of AI-powered marketing.

The fastest way to build a product people love? Let your customers build it with you. One of the most important things you can do when scaling a company is to take customer feedback seriously. Not just collect it. Actually build it. At Pump, this has shaped some of the most impactful parts of our product.

If you’re at @saastr , come say hi! We’re the ones in the sparkly green suits. Always happy to connect, trade jackets, and talk startups!

@usergems saved more than $144K on their annual cloud spend this year using Pump View.

New rev channel unlocked - the "green suit guys" 💚🕺 We had a booth. But it didn’t matter. These suits pulled people in before the booth ever could. People would stop. Talk. Take a photo. Sometimes try it on. By the time we started talking, it was already warm. No pitch needed. Check us out at @StartupGrind & @stripe next week!!

@spndn07 Love it!
