The team
A small crew in Montréal building the gateway we wished existed: every model, one API, and a bill nobody has to apologize for.
How we work
Three things we refuse to compromise on
Pure routing
We move tokens; we never train on them. If a feature would need your data to work, we design a different feature.
Honest numbers
List prices pass through untouched, fees are printed in large type, and the comparison pages say when a competitor is genuinely better.
Bilingue par défaut
Built in Québec, so French isn't a locale file: it's a routing feature, a support language, and half the office banter.
The people
Eight humans, one cat, one gateway
Élodie Marchand
Co-founder · CEO
Spent a decade watching enterprise AI bills arrive as surprises. Started SwitchGate so they'd arrive as decisions.
Sam Okafor
Co-founder · CTO
Built routing infrastructure at a CDN before deciding tokens deserve the same discipline as packets.
Marie-Claude Tremblay
Head of Governance & Security
Former compliance lead; wrote the Loi 25 playbook the rest of us follow. Owns the kill switch, literally.
Devraj Patel
Founding Engineer · Gateway
Cares about p99s the way other people care about their kids. The retry chain is his favourite child.
Lucie Bernard
Founding Engineer · Agent
Ships the daemon that lets your GPUs join the party. Believes firewalls should stay closed and models should still work.
Tomás Herrera
Design
Draws the diagrams, names the nodes, and insists the 404 page stays funny.
Aïcha Diallo
Developer Relations
Answers the Discord before you finish typing. Collects one-line migration stories like trading cards.
Jean-François Roy
Model Council (feline)
Chief morale officer. Reviews every deploy by sitting on the keyboard. Approval rate: 100%.
