Building software means stitching together a dozen vendors
- Realtime, hosting, databases, storage, caching, and email each come from a different vendor, with a separate bill, dashboard, and support queue.
- Small teams burn engineering time gluing infrastructure together instead of shipping their product.
- Finding and hiring reliable technical talent is treated as a completely separate problem from the infrastructure itself.
A typical software team juggles 6+ vendors before writing a line of product code.
One platform, every layer of the stack
Pie.host unifies realtime infrastructure, hosting, databases, storage, caching, email, and technical talent under a single account, a single dashboard, and a single bill. Teams provision what they need, when they need it, without switching vendors or context.
Every new product deepens the platform and increases revenue per customer.

PieChat: a social-first super app
PieChat is our own consumer super app, built on Pie.host's infrastructure to create direct distribution and prove the platform's resilience at consumer scale.
- WhatsApp-style chat, built with privacy-first features.
- Native audio and video calls.
- Built-in shopping, no separate app required.
- User-built extensions (mini apps), built and distributed by users, hosted on PieApp.
- Launching October 18, 2026.
This future Series A is the conversion event for the $100K SAFE described in this deck.
Usage-based revenue across every product
- Most infrastructure products (PieSocket, PieDB, PieBucket, PieCache, PieMongo, PieGres) bill on usage, hourly rates that scale automatically with customer growth.
- PieApp and hosting products use tiered subscription plans.
- PieMonitor uses a trial-to-paid model, one free month per monitor, then a flat monthly rate.
- PieLancer earns a marketplace take-rate on every talent engagement.
As a customer's product grows, their spend across Pie.host grows with it, no separate upsell motion required.

Revenue-Generating Products
Platform Uptime
Bootstrapped, profitable, and growing
Annual revenue, zero outside funding. 2026 reflects January-August actuals (8 months) only.
2026 year-to-date revenue is already 68% of full-year 2025 revenue, through August alone.
A large, growing market
Global IaaS + PaaS market, 2025 (Gartner worldwide cloud spending forecast).
Developers, startups, and SMBs seeking affordable managed cloud infrastructure. Preliminary estimate.
Illustrative revenue target, not a market-share forecast.
Sources: Gartner worldwide public cloud spending forecast; Synergy Research Group / TechInsights cloud infrastructure market research.
The timing favors consolidation
- Cloud cost pressure and vendor sprawl are pushing developers toward consolidated platforms.
- AI-assisted development is lowering the barrier to building software, more builders will need infrastructure, and eventually human talent, to take products to production.
- Remote-first hiring has normalized distributed technical talent, making a marketplace layer on top of infrastructure a natural extension.
- Already profitable and bootstrapped, Pie.host doesn't need this raise to survive, only to move faster.

Pie.host is the only platform that spans hosting, realtime, databases, storage, and technical talent under one account, one bill, one dashboard.
Why Pie.host
Developer-First
Built by engineers for engineers. Every product decision starts with the developer experience and works outward from there.
Capital Efficient
Bootstrapped and profitable. Multiple revenue-generating products without a dollar of outside funding.
Compounding Product Lines
Nine infrastructure products, a talent marketplace, and AI services in development. Each product deepens the platform and increases revenue per customer.
Global Market
Serving companies worldwide, from startups to enterprises like RedHat, Equiti, and Ingenico, in a market that grows every year.
Unified Platform Vision
Infrastructure and talent on one platform. As teams scale, they need both, and switching costs compound in our favour over time.
Long-Term Thinking
Building for decades, not quarters. Patience and compounding are core to how we operate and what we are building toward.
Small team. Big platform.
