DigitalOcean

DigitalOcean has built the world's leading cloud platform for developers, startups, and SMBs — the underserved market abandoned by the hyperscalers in pursuit of enterprise contracts. Its 700,000+ active customers (predominantly startups and independent software vendors) generate $770M in annual recurring revenue with an industry-leading customer satisfaction score. DigitalOcean's GPU Droplets, H100 cloud instances, and managed Kubernetes make it the most accessible entry point for AI application development without the billing complexity of AWS. The company's 'Build for Builders' philosophy — transparent pricing, developer-first documentation, and 99.99% uptime SLAs — has made it a beloved brand in the developer community.
