ATLANTA – Adviser Labs, an emerging deep-tech startup at the intersection of cloud HPC, AI, and quantitative computing, is building Adviser, a platform designed to radically simplify the orchestration and optimization of compute-intensive workloads across multi-cloud environments. With Adviser, engineers, researchers, and quantitative teams can access the power of large-scale clusters without the usual complexity of DevOps, manual resource tuning, or cloud cost management.
At the core of the platform is its breakthrough “adviser run” command: a unified CLI and GUI interface that transforms how HPC users interact with the cloud. Instead of writing job-scheduler scripts or configuring infrastructure manually, users can replace commands like: ./my_simulation.py with adviser run python ./my_simulation.py
The command works with any executable, not just Python — users can run precompiled binaries, C, Go, R, Perl, or FORTRAN applications seamlessly. Adviser automatically provisions optimized GPU/CPU clusters, selects the most cost-effective cloud resources, and manages job execution, giving users instant access to high-performance compute power without requiring deep cloud expertise.
Adviser Labs is already supporting critical workloads across quantitative finance, AI training, biotech, and energy, where compute bottlenecks can stall innovation and result in significant costs.
-
Quantitative Finance: Adviser recently secured a major deal with a leading proprietary trading firm in Chicago and New York, helping quantitative researchers optimize trading simulations and options pricing models. Early results show significant reductions in manual provisioning time. Adviser is also used by independent researchers at top quantitative hedge funds.
-
Academia & Research: Adviser is onboarding researchers from R1 universities in the U.S. and Russell Group institutions in the U.K., enabling domain experts to scale advanced HPC workloads for computational fluid dynamics, AI-driven protein folding, and complex simulation pipelines.
-
Biotech & AI: Biotech startups are leveraging Adviser’s platform to orchestrate multi-cloud deep learning workloads, accelerating model training, iteration, and deployment.
Unlike traditional HPC schedulers or rigid cloud orchestration tools, Adviser is architected natively for a multi-cloud, containerized world. The platform integrates directly with AWS, Azure, and GCP, and supports BYOC (bring-your-own-cloud) and hybrid/on-prem clusters via Kubernetes.
Key Differentiators:
-
Single-Command Simplicity: Reduces onboarding friction and eliminates DevOps bottlenecks.
-
AI-Optimized Resource Selection: Dynamically chooses the best-fit GPU/CPU instances based on workload profiles and real-time spot/reserved pricing strategies.
-
Collaboration-Ready: Enables distributed teams to share workflows, outputs, and visualizations seamlessly.
-
Cost-Efficient Scaling: Optimizes compute costs in real time using cross-cloud arbitrage and spot instances.
Adviser Labs has raised approximately $1M in pre-seed funding from Drive Capital, Simplex Ventures, and Unusual Ventures, alongside early-stage funds and angel investors from leading tech companies including DoorDash.
