Comet Compute was founded by operators with decades of experience building and scaling small and mid-sized businesses.
Comet Compute was built to serve small and mid-sized businesses that need real AI infrastructure but are overlooked by hyperscalers.
Instead of building for the largest companies in the world, we focus on delivering dedicated, enterprise-grade GPU compute with A++ architecture designed in collaboration with NVIDIA, purpose-built for SMBs that want to use AI to grow revenue, improve decision-making, and build better products.
Our deployments are intentionally lean and geographically diversified across the U.S., allowing us to keep costs predictable while delivering high-performance compute that small and mid-sized businesses can actually afford and use effectively.
Thomas Kato
Founder

He is a Harvard Business School alumnus, with a background in strategy, negotiation, and scaling businesses in complex, competitive markets.

Through his existing merchant portfolio, Thomas has consistently introduced value-added products that improve profitability, customer experience, and operational insight. This operator-first mindset is what led to the creation of Comet Compute: bringing enterprise-grade AI infrastructure to SMBs in a way that is practical, affordable, and aligned with how they actually run their businesses.
