Google for Startups and Stripe

Through Antler we have come onto Google for Startups and Stripe.

Neither is a vanity logo for us. Orbit's simulation and mapping stack is GPU-bound, and cloud capacity is the difference between running one photorealistic session at a time and running a fleet. Every session an operator starts is real compute, and being able to scale that without it becoming the whole budget changes what we can put in front of people.

Stripe matters for a less exciting reason: billing, credits, and per-session metering are already wired into Orbit. When we open access more widely, the commercial plumbing is not a project we have to start.
