About

Olo is a New York-based software company that provides enterprise restaurant chains with a digital ordering and delivery management platform, enabling brands to accept online orders through branded web and mobile channels, dispatch orders to third-party delivery services, and consolidate all digital order streams into a single operational workflow. The platform sits between a restaurant brand's digital storefronts and its point-of-sale systems, translating incoming orders from brand-owned channels and marketplace aggregators into the format each restaurant's kitchen display and POS system expects — eliminating the tablet proliferation problem that plagued multi-channel restaurant operations. Olo's Rails product aggregates orders from DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub, and other marketplaces into a unified stream, while Dispatch powers branded delivery fulfillment by routing orders to the optimal delivery provider in real time.

About

Modal is a serverless cloud computing platform purpose-built for AI and machine learning workloads — providing on-demand GPU compute that scales instantly from zero with per-second billing, container management, distributed training support, and a Python-native developer experience that makes running ML workloads in the cloud feel as simple as running code locally. Founded in 2021 in New York City and backed by Redpoint Ventures and other investors, Modal has grown rapidly as AI development has accelerated demand for flexible, developer-friendly GPU infrastructure.\n\nModal's developer experience is its primary differentiator — engineers write Python functions decorated with @modal.function() and deploy them to the cloud with a single command, with Modal handling container building, GPU provisioning, auto-scaling, and execution. The platform supports training jobs that need distributed compute across multiple GPUs, model serving endpoints that scale to zero when unused (eliminating idle GPU costs), and batch inference jobs that process large datasets. The per-second billing model means developers pay only for actual compute time, not provisioned instances.\n\nIn 2025, Modal competes in the AI infrastructure market with Replicate, Beam, Banana, and major cloud providers' managed ML services (AWS SageMaker, Google Vertex AI, Azure ML) for serverless GPU compute. The market for AI-specific cloud infrastructure has grown dramatically as the number of ML engineers deploying models to production has expanded — traditional cloud providers require significant DevOps expertise to use GPU instances effectively, while Modal's Python-native approach reduces the barrier to entry. Modal has attracted a strong developer following among AI researchers and ML engineers building production AI applications. The 2025 strategy focuses on growing the developer community, adding enterprise features (dedicated GPU capacity, private networking, compliance), and expanding the hardware options available (H100 GPUs, custom accelerators).
