en.Wedoany.com Reported - South African startup Supascale AI has launched a cloud AI marketplace that enables businesses, developers, and creators to access AI models at lower costs, while allowing GPU owners to generate revenue from idle computing power. The company claims this platform offers the fastest GPU access process globally.
Global demand for AI computing power is surging, and traditional data centers face scrutiny due to environmental impacts such as high electricity consumption, cooling water usage, and noise pollution. Supascale AI leverages underutilized GPUs in laptops, personal computers, and existing data centers to provide distributed computing solutions, reducing the need for additional high-energy infrastructure.
Company founder and CEO Aaron Bornmann conceived the platform in 2025, subsequently forming a team with co-founders Bongani Duma and Clayton Bornmann, who bring expertise in embedded AI engineering, cloud infrastructure, and international market experience respectively. Aaron Bornmann graduated from the University of Pretoria with a Bachelor's degree in Mechatronic Engineering. During his university years, he founded the platform 123tutors, which impacted over 10,000 students and tutors in South Africa and was named "Africa's Most Innovative Startup" by AfricArena in 2021. He participated in the Grindstone accelerator program in 2022. Co-founder and Chief Marketing Officer Clayton Bornmann relocated from Canada to South Africa, having previously served as a sales manager at Canadian telecommunications company TELUS. Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer Bongani Duma, a senior cloud engineer, previously worked in South Africa's banking sector, responsible for designing the platform's security, reliability, and scalability.
Supascale AI aims to democratize access to AI infrastructure, a market traditionally dominated by large cloud service providers. The company plans to enable more businesses and individuals to participate in AI development through an affordable and sustainable model, while positioning Africa as a participant in the global AI economy.
