Lyrid’s COO, Simon Loo, delivered a captivating pitch that highlighted our unique infrastructure that helps businesses scale their company on any cloud— globally, in minutes. Our goal is to make the cloud more accessible for businesses; we reduce redundancy in development and the cost comparison is much cheaper compared to other major cloud providers as well.

Our commitment to helping developers and business leaders focus on creation and not operations, and our value proposition of helping companies scale in minutes, won the heart of the judges present.
