Islo Startup Program

Give your agents a real computer.

One that stays up for hours and runs your real services, fully isolated. We host it, or run it in your own cloud.

Every agent company hits the same wall.

The first wave of agent products is moving past chat. The moment your agent runs real code, you need a real computer behind it: one that stays alive for hours, runs your services, isolates every run, and keeps your credentials safe. Build all of that yourself and it quietly turns into your whole roadmap. Islo gives you the computer, so you keep building the product your customers actually came for.

Use cases

What teams run inside Islo.

Coding agents

Run Codex inside Islo

Drop in Codex, Claude Code, or your own agent. It works the repo, runs the tests, and opens a PR — while the computer stays up the whole time.

Runtime agents

Production agents, per user

Back every user or session with its own isolated computer, so your product’s agent runs code live and scales to thousands at once.

E2E tests

End-to-end tests on a real machine

Run full suites against real services, databases, and a browser in an isolated computer — one per branch or run, torn down when it’s done.

Automation

Long jobs that hold state

Let agents drive builds, browsers, dev servers, and tools for hours without losing where they were.

Closing bigger deals

Your best deals stall when customers can’t use your solution outside their cloud.

Start hosted for speed. Move into your cloud, or your customer’s cloud, when security reviews, procurement, and isolation requirements show up — without re-architecting your product.

Fastest

Islo Hosted

Launch pilots and prototypes without touching cloud infrastructure.

More control

Your cloud

Use your cloud credits, private networking, and cost controls.

Security-ready

On your customer’s cloud

Run agent compute inside your customer’s cloud boundary, with their security policies in place.

Source code and execution stay inside the customer’s cloud boundary.

Agents reach private registries, staging services, databases, and internal APIs.

Customers keep their IAM, VPC, logging, monitoring, and network policies.

Usage shows up in their existing cloud bills, budgets, and cost controls.

How Islo solves it

Computers built for agents that run in real customer environments.

Persistent environments

Agents keep state across long-running work, reconnects, builds, services, browsers, and tool use.

Computer governance

Control network access, credentials, cloud actions, approvals, and customer or workspace boundaries.

Audit controls

Track commands, file changes, network calls, approvals, and agent activity from day one.

Tool connectivity

Connect agents to GitHub, Linear, Slack, Jira, databases, package registries, and internal APIs.

What you get

A production path, not another demo computer.

The program backs teams taking agents from prototype to real customer workloads — with the credits, access, and help to get there.

$20-50K

Islo credits

Use them however you need: hosted computers, your cloud, evaluations, or customer workloads.

Slack

Direct access

Work with the Islo team on architecture, deployment, security posture, and computer design.

BYOC

Deployment assistance

Get help running agent compute in your cloud or inside a customer cloud boundary.

Launch

Co-marketing

Launch support, case studies, founder office hours, and early access to new computer features.

Apply now

Build the agent. Do not rebuild the computer.

We are opening the first cohort to up to 25 companies building AI agents, developer tools, and evaluation systems that execute code.
