LiquidSky

GPU cloud computing platform acquired by Walmart in 2018.

01 — Overview

What LiquidSky does

LiquidSky was a GPU cloud computing platform that allowed users to run Windows PC environments remotely. The company was acquired by Walmart in 2018 after facing fundraising difficulties brought on by free competing services from Microsoft, Amazon, Google, and NVIDIA. The site now functions as a historical record maintained by fans of the original platform, with no active product or service offering.

The company has no relevance to family office operations, private wealth management, or financial services of any kind. Its core business was consumer and B2B cloud gaming and GPU virtualization. Notable enterprise clients included Verizon, Samsung, and Walmart, but none in the financial services or wealth management space.

Family office principals, COOs, and investment teams will find nothing applicable here. The domain, client base, and product focus are entirely unrelated to wealth management, investment operations, or financial technology. The current site redirects interested parties to Stim.io, a successor cloud PC platform built on AWS and Azure by some former LiquidSky team members, which is equally unrelated to private wealth or family office services.
