YC W22 company confirmed to be the same FlowDeploy as the card's domain (https://flowdeploy.com): the YC profile lists the site https://flowdeploy.com, founder Noah Lebovic (CEO) and co-founder Bryce Cai (former CTO of FlowDeploy / Toolchest, also YC W22), founded 2021, team size 3, status Inactive. The live flowdeploy.com domain no longer serves the bioinformatics-pipeline product (it now renders a generic parked/directory page), consistent with the card's 'discontinued' status. No funding amount, round, or revenue figures were found in any public source (no TechCrunch/press coverage, no Crunchbase/Tracxn public profile data located, no HN Launch post) within the time budget for this check.

## Caveats

- Discontinued or closed to new customers, confirmed on the live site 2026-09-29. Card caveat is right: YC 'Inactive' (team size 3, one-liner 'Bioinformatics pipelines in the cloud'), and the site is a generic French DevOps directory/parking lander. PyPI package 'flowdeploy' ('Use with your favorite bioinformatics manager - like Nextflow or Snakemake - to develop and deploy bioin
- YC marks Inactive; current site renders a generic French DevOps directory index, not the former bioinformatics compute product. No verified current hosted service. Historical managed/BYOC Nextflow/Snakemake functionality is a lead only; no price card selected.
- Null values mean unknown, not free/unlimited. No model-token cost, tax or unverified ancillary charge included.
- Native browser/device/task/credit prices with unknown CPU/RAM are deliberately non-priceable. Check regime before interpreting any partial resource estimate.

## Verified billing facts and gotchas

1. YC marks Inactive; current site renders a generic French DevOps directory index, not the former bioinformatics compute product. No verified current hosted service. Historical managed/BYOC Nextflow/Snakemake functionality is a lead only; no price card selected.

## Worked example

Requested: 4 vCPU/8 GiB, 50 simultaneous × 8 h/day × 22 days = **8,800 instance-hours**, 30% CPU; 50 GiB snapshots and 100 GiB egress. A month is 730 hours only when explicitly used in rate conversion.

**Total: unknown.** This product does not publish a verified complete 4-vCPU/8-GiB tariff and/or the service bills a different unit. Fifty concurrent instances and eight-hour sessions are not automatically supported. Neither 30% utilization nor retained snapshots can be converted into free resources. Use the native plan terms above and request the missing CPU/RAM, retention, egress and concurrency quote.

Page captures and documentation indexes/bundles are in `raw/`; provider JSON lists the evidence paths. HN query results were captured separately as `<id>--hn.txt`; they are discovery leads, not current tariff authority. Downloaded docs do not imply every feature was verified; unsupported assertions remain null.
