The problem
Every prompt, log, and record sent to a frontier model leaves your control.
Confidential VMs exist — but you still assemble deployment, identity, attestation, networking, and failover yourself. An entry CVM typically runs $50/month, about 10× a plain VM, and you operate it. The people this hits: developers, researchers, and small teams handling sensitive data — without an infra team to build enclaves. POSTER DECK
Frontier APIs
Your data becomes their data. POSTER
Ordinary hosts
The operator can peek. POSTER
DIY confidential VMs
Institutional pricing, heavy ops. POSTER
Hyperscaler enclaves
Complex, locked-in, no attestation for you. POSTER
Paper audits
Written for stale software. POSTER
What is it
"Confidential compute, made easy. Apps, databases, agents, and mesh nodes." POSTER
One console, API, and CLI — deploy an app, run an agent, run a mesh. Point it at a repository and it comes back an attested, verifiable HTTPS app with a privacy audit built in. Free to start. POSTER DECK
What it does
Five capabilities on one substrate.
Managed apps
Hosted services — repo in, attested app out. POSTER
Shared enclaves
Isolated workloads from $5/month, always on. Marked "coming soon" on the poster. POSTER
HA meshes
Resilient production — attested nodes, replication and recovery built in. POSTER
Audit trail
Verifiable evidence for every deployment. POSTER
Synclave Hub
Ready integrations, one click: PostgreSQL, Redis, ClickHouse, Hindsight, Hermes, LiteLLM, more. POSTER
How it works
Repo in, attested app out — in minutes.
Repo in
Grow without replatforming: a free hosted app on day one, a $5/month shared enclave for production traffic, an attested HA mesh for contractual uptime — the same substrate scales to multi-provider networks, racks, and whole data centers. Data-center agnostic. POSTER DECK
Built on: dstack (Linux Foundation) · hardware TEEs · WireGuard · GitHub. POSTER
The numbers
The team's own figures, as printed on their poster and deck.
Who's building it
Three founders — roles as printed on the poster and deck; the cohort registry corroborates the roster. POSTER REGISTRY
Francesco Renzi
Presents as "Fran, CEO" — the deck's contact slide points straight at his Telegram.
Dan Matthews
Known in the cohort as LSDan; a dstack maintainer — the Linux Foundation confidential-compute framework the product is built on. Presented the team's mock demo-day pitch.
Kristel Alliksaar
Role from the poster's personnel block; on the cohort roster since the TEEsql era.
Traction
What's live, what's shipped in the open, and who the team says is using it.
Live today
Substrate 64% productionized — 34 cores attested and serving. Billing live; webhost launching now. POSTER
Open-source footprint
12 public repos on the pre-rename GitHub org: a mutual RA-TLS proxy, provider-agnostic attestation-report types, RA-TLS Postgres drivers (psycopg3, Prisma), mesh tooling. Latest push 2026-06-18. WEB
Named partners & users
TinyCloud · Teleport — HA mesh. PitchRotator · CoordinationOS — deployed hosted apps. Phala · Secret — design partners. POSTER Pending approval
Next rev, per the poster: deployment harness → confidential GPU inference → a public deployment-evidence registry. POSTER
In their own words
How the team tells it — from the 2026-07-17 mock demo day, Dan Matthews presenting.
"Bring the model to the data. Never the data to the model." The tagline across the team's poster and seed deck POSTER
"Synclave makes confidential applications deployable without forcing developers to operate confidential VMs themselves."
"The flow is really very simple: connect a GitHub repository, deploy the application, attest the workload, and expose public evidence. Developers get the workflow they already know — source code and a simple endpoint."
"Traditionally, cloud providers have sold confidential machines as raw infrastructure. Synclave moves the unit up the stack — deploy an app or sandbox, receive proof of it, and scale across providers. The customer buys the workload rather than the underlying infrastructure."
