ABOUT
Servers for AI
AWS turned GPUs into a luxury tax. SageMaker, Bedrock, and EC2 GPU stack 100× onto hardware. RAW exists so labs, agents, and inference fleets can create and scale servers over a 100% API.
THE PROBLEM
The AWS tax on AI is real.
AWS launched EC2 in 2006. Prices were revolutionary. Twenty years later the same company sells GPUs, tokens, and egress at 10–100× the cost of the hardware. AI made the markup worse: SageMaker, Bedrock, NAT gateways, and $0.09/GB for pulling weights.
The bill is designed to be unpredictable. The console is designed to be slow. The complexity is the product.
Dedicated GPUs and CPUs in real datacenters cost a fraction of that. What was missing was a 100% API: create a server, scale a fleet, destroy when the job ends. Not a 200-service maze.
RAW is that API. Same NVIDIA hardware. 3-second creates. 100× cheaper, 100× faster, 100× better than AWS. No hidden fees. No egress. No surprises.
OUR MODEL
Hardware in, API out
We buy GPUs and CPUs. We automate provisioning with AI. We sell create-and-scale over HTTP. No sales team. No 200-product catalog. No VC burn that has to come out of your GPU hour.
"The server costs what the server costs, plus a thin, transparent margin. That's the entire business model."
RAW is servers for AI. Dedicated NVIDIA, AMD EPYC, NVMe, unlimited bandwidth. You POST to create. You POST to scale. You DELETE when the run finishes. Per-second billing.
Same hardware AWS rents you. 100× less tax. An API an agent can call.
WHAT WE STAND FOR
Four principles. Zero exceptions.
Transparency
Honest pricing, no hidden fees, no egress charges. You see the price, you pay the price. If we can't deliver value at transparent rates, we don't deserve your business.
Simplicity
Create a server in 3 seconds, not 13 IAM policies. One API to provision, scale, and destroy. Complexity is not a feature.
Quality
Enterprise hardware at indie prices. AMD EPYC processors, NVMe SSDs, NVIDIA GPUs, and unlimited bandwidth included. No cold starts, no shared tenancy, no compromises.
Speed
100× faster than AWS for the thing that matters: from API call to CUDA SSH. Dedicated hardware — every cycle, every VRAM gigabyte is yours.
BY THE NUMBERS
The numbers speak.
ORIGIN
Born from a $7,000 cloud bill.
RAW started as an internal tool. We run Eulerpool, a financial data platform serving millions of page views. When our monthly cloud bill crossed $7,000, we moved everything off managed clouds. Same performance. A fraction of the cost. Then AI inference bills made AWS look even worse.
Every pain point became a feature: 100% API, 3-second creates, GPU SKUs, one invoice. We built the servers-for-AI platform we wished existed — then opened it to everyone.
INFRASTRUCTURE
What's under the hood.
Every RAW server runs on dedicated hardware in Tier-3 datacenters across five regions. No hypervisors, no noisy neighbors, no shared resources.
TEAM
Built by code, run by machines,
designed for humans.
RAW is an AI-native company. Product development, infrastructure automation, customer support, and operations are powered by AI systems — not a large human team with expensive overhead. This isn't a gimmick. It's how we keep prices low, ship fast, and stay focused on what matters: making infrastructure accessible.

100% API. 3 seconds. 100× cheaper than AWS.
