children under 5 die every day — before we take our morning shower — simply from lack of food and water.
"Carter, what are you going to do about that?"— The question on a whiteboard, 15 years ago, that started everything
That question launched Day 7 — a Public Benefit Corporation built on the belief that technology should serve human flourishing, not exploit it. Genesis is the answer: a Sovereign Intelligence Platform that operates on truth, not censorship. We present all evidence and let people decide for themselves.
One founder. One H100 GPU. 100 days. 1.65 million lines of production code. 32 Docker services, 116 autonomous daemons, a 9-layer cognitive architecture, and a self-improving code generation engine.
"We want to be the highest standard the world has never seen."— Carter Hill, Founder
We already run GitLab CE self-hosted on our H100 GPU server, mirroring all 57,454 commits. GitLab's philosophy of self-hosting and data sovereignty aligns perfectly with our mission of building independent, sovereign technology.
Complete data sovereignty. Our codebase lives on infrastructure we control. GitLab makes this possible in a way no other platform does.
With 1.65M lines of code, we need robust CI/CD. Local runners on our GPU server means unlimited pipelines at zero marginal cost.
SAST, DAST, dependency scanning, container scanning — enterprise-grade security analysis without sending code to external services.
GitLab's open core philosophy mirrors our own belief that truth and transparency create better technology. We are building in the open, for the benefit of humanity.
1.65M lines of Python across 6,700+ files. Runners on our H100 = unlimited free pipelines, no per-minute billing.
SAST, DAST, dependency scanning, container scanning — enterprise-grade security without sending code to external services.
32 Docker services. Self-hosted registry eliminates pull rate limits and keeps infrastructure images under our control.
Epics, roadmaps, and value stream analytics to track our development velocity as we scale.
Genesis has been vetted and accepted by multiple enterprise programs:
Combined value: $150,000+ across 4 enterprise platforms
| Compute | NVIDIA H100 NVL (96GB VRAM) |
| LLM | vLLM + Nemotron-3-Nano-FP8 (1M context) |
| Knowledge Graph | Neo4j Enterprise — 3.9M nodes |
| Vector DB | Weaviate — semantic search |
| SQL | YugabyteDB — distributed source of truth |
| Cache | Redis — 184K+ keys |
| Streaming | RedPanda — real-time events |
| AutoML | H2O.ai — continuous training |
| API | FastAPI — 636+ routers |
| Containers | Docker — 32 orchestrated services |
| Monitoring | Prometheus + Grafana |
| Source Control | GitLab CE (self-hosted) + GitHub |
We are requesting GitLab Ultimate through the Startup Program. Our GitLab instance is already live, mirroring 57,454 commits. Ultimate unlocks the CI/CD, security, and registry capabilities we need to scale.
