Who We Are
Three technologists eliminating cloud lock-in, one orchestration layer at a time.
Our Story
Building the future of cloud
CLONDE was born from a simple observation: developers and enterprises are trapped in complex, expensive cloud ecosystems that don't talk to each other. We asked—what if you could orchestrate AWS, Azure, IPFS, and Storj from a single control plane? CLONDE is building the missing layer between applications and infrastructure.
Our Mission
To democratize cloud infrastructure by making multi-cloud orchestration as simple as single-cloud deployment—reducing costs, eliminating lock-in, and giving developers true freedom of choice.
What We Believe
Our Core Values
Cloud-Agnostic
We believe in true multi-cloud freedom. No vendor should own your infrastructure decisions.
Developer-First
Great developer experience is non-negotiable. If it's hard to use, it's not the right solution.
Enterprise-Grade
Security, compliance, and reliability aren't features—they're foundations. We build for production.
Open Standards
We embrace open protocols and APIs. Your data should be portable, your workflows interoperable.
Why CLONDE
Business Value
Clonde is designed from the ground up to align with enterprise financial operations. We eliminate the friction of cloud storage optimization — saving you money without upfront risk, unpredictable bills, or technical overhead.
Risk-Free "Audit Mode" Proof of Value
Every new customer starts in a read-only Audit Mode. Before a single file is moved or a dollar is charged, our engine analyzes your storage and generates a comprehensive Savings Map — proven ROI before you commit.
The Shared Savings Model
Initial billing is completely performance-based: a percentage of the money we actually save you, for a configurable attribution window. Clonde pays for itself out of your recovered budget.
Predictable Recurring Costs
When your initial savings period ends, billing transitions automatically to a flat-rate platform fee based on your capacity tier — Starter, Growth, or Scale. Budget certainty for finance teams.
Complete Financial Transparency
Every optimization creates an immutable baseline snapshot — the exact price you were paying at that moment. Every invoice line traces back to the optimizations that produced it. No surprises.
Invoice Safety Nets
If an invoice ever exceeds three times your historical average, it's automatically held for manual review instead of being charged. We prioritize communication over billing surprises.
Summary for Enterprise FinOps
- Zero-risk onboarding: try before you buy with read-only Audit Mode.
- Immediate ROI: Clonde is funded purely by the money it saves you.
- Budget certainty: automatic transition to flat-rate pricing.
- Full auditability: immutable snapshots prove every dollar saved.
