About SwitchGate

SwitchGate began the way most infrastructure companies do: with a spreadsheet and a grudge. Three of us were running AI products on three different provider accounts, and every month ended the same way - a finance person asking what a number meant, and an engineer answering "it depends." Keys lived in shared vaults. An agent once retried itself through a long weekend. The tools to prevent any of this existed at every big company and none of the small ones.

So we built the gateway we wanted to buy: one API in front of every model, provider list prices passed through untouched, one transparent fee at top-up, and governance - budgets, locks, burnable keys, a kill switch - as standard equipment rather than enterprise garnish. Then we went further than the incumbents on the thing we cared most about: your own models, on your own servers, joining the same catalog through the Model Tunnel without your data ever leaving your network.

We host in Montréal on purpose. Canadian privacy law and GDPR adequacy make lawyers relax; Hydro-Québec's grid makes the carbon math pleasant; and the fibre routes between Europe and Ashburn make the physics honest. Also, the bagels are better here, and we will not be taking questions.
