Ivan Shvaichenko
Founder and CEO, Boosteroid, Austin, Texas, United States
Ivan is the founder and CEO of Boosteroid, a global technology and infrastructure company developing distributed GPU platforms for cloud gaming, AI computing, high-performance computing, and real-time workloads. Under his leadership, Boosteroid has grown from a bold engineering idea into one of the world’s largest independent cloud gaming platforms, serving millions of users across multiple continents. Ivan is also guiding Boosteroid into the next stage of GPU infrastructure through the NeoCloud initiative, an AI cloud platform built around proprietary high-capacity data centers. These projects are designed for 300+ MW of IT load and optimized for high-density GPU clusters, AI workloads, and HPC applications across Europe and the Americas. This direction reflects Ivan’s long-range view of cloud technology, where cloud gaming, AI, and high-performance computing all depend on the same core requirement: scalable, efficient, distributed GPU infrastructure. Ivan has joined the Endeavor Network, connecting him with a global community of high-impact entrepreneurs and business leaders. This milestone adds another layer to his international role as a founder building from a Ukrainian-rooted technology company into a global infrastructure player. Ivan’s technical background goes back to the early 2000s, when he began working with engineering systems and server technologies. Before founding Boosteroid, he gained experience across industrial and civil construction design, where precision, infrastructure planning, and complex system thinking were central to the work. That early exposure shaped his approach to technology: build for real load, real constraints, and real users. Ivan has led Boosteroid through major international partnership growth. The company has built strategic relationships with AMD, Microsoft, Mercedes-Benz, ASUS, Samsung, Amazon, Lenovo, LG, Hisense, Google, and other global technology brands. One of its significant agreements is the 10-year partnership with Microsoft, which brought Xbox PC titles and Activision Blizzard games to Boosteroid users. These partnerships reflect Ivan’s ability to connect infrastructure, product, and business development into one long-term company strategy.
