About DigitalOcean
DigitalOcean is a cloud infrastructure provider built for developers, startups, and small teams. It makes money by renting compute, storage, and managed services on a simple, usage-based model, positioning itself as an easier alternative to the big hyperscale clouds.
Its AI lineup centers on GPU Droplets, which let customers rent GPU compute for training and running models, along with AI and machine learning 1-Click apps for fast deployment and Managed Kubernetes for teams orchestrating AI workloads. Much of this capability came with its acquisition of Paperspace.
Founded in 2011 and headquartered in New York City, DigitalOcean trades on the NYSE and employs roughly 1,500 people.

AI compute is its fastest-growing segment, but general-purpose cloud hosting for small businesses remains the core, which is why Supercycle scores its AI exposure at 30 out of 100.
DOCN is tracked in Cloud & Hyperscalers, rated Growing on the AI Exposure leaderboard.
