I'm a bit confused about the offering here, it feels like Amp is positioning itself as a reseller of sorts. Couldn't the startups just purchase compute directly from AMZ/GCP/Azure? Through direct or indirect ownership, I'd bet that the datacenters being dealt with would be under those anyway.
> Some start-ups may share digital data needed to train A.I. models.
Your data being used by the companies you're dealing with directly is one thing, but it being open for untold loose partners you have no connection too feels like it should be a bridge too far.
