Clippership

AI compute at the maritime edge.

Autonomous vessels take AI compute onto the wide-open ocean, where clean energy and cooling are plentiful.

Our roadmap starts with maritime edge compute and scales to fleets of 3MW vessels for AI inference

Clippership was founded in 2024 by a group of experienced engineers, operators, and technologists. Our team honed their craft at:

  • Tesla
  • NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory
  • Canadian Special Operations Forces
  • Mercedes-AMG Formula 1 Team
  • Microsoft
  • Damen Shipyards Group
  • Bay Ship and Yacht

We are proud to build in South San Francisco.
