Founded by Jasper Zhang, the startup aims for $150 million in annual recurring revenue by the end of the year and states it is already breaking even. More than 250,000 developers, including teams at Modal, Higgsfield, and Daytona, use the platform. The company plans to expand its software tools and grow its workforce to 50 employees by year's end.
