About Arctic Bison

Arctic Bison exists because there are teams whose operational requirements exceed what any single cloud vendor can provide, and those teams shouldn't have to build their own data centers to escape lock-in. We build infrastructure platforms for organizations that need to operate on their own terms: where their workloads run, who can access them, how they're secured, and how they're paid for.

The cloud revolution promised infinite scale and zero operational overhead. It delivered on scale. However, it also brought vendor lock-in, geopolitical fragility, and a one-size-fits-all model that doesn't fit organizations with real constraints. For organizations operating in high-stakes environments (governments, NGOs, media, privacy projects, security teams), these are disqualifying conditions and not acceptable compromises.

What We Believe

Sovereignty is non-negotiable. Organizations should control where their infrastructure lives, how it's secured, and who has visibility into it. We build tools that make sovereignty practical and not just theoretical. Privacy isn't a feature you bolt on. It's an architectural principle. We build crypto payment systems, provider abstraction distributors, and pseudonymous mission identifiers so that our platforms can minimize organizational discoverability and operational exposure.

We don't build on top of a single cloud vendor. We don't have partnerships that bias our platform toward specific providers. We integrate with everyone and favor no one, because our customers need to make their own decisions about trust and jurisdiction. The best infrastructure is the kind that adversaries can't fingerprint, regulators can't correlate, and vendors can't leverage for control.

Who We Serve

We work with organizations that have requirements the mainstream cloud market doesn't address: government agencies that need multi-jurisdictional infrastructure without single-vendor exposure, NGOs and media organizations operating in contested regions, privacy-focused projects that can't use platforms requiring corporate identity verification, security teams that need to rotate infrastructure footprints without vendor visibility, and research institutions handling sensitive data with strict controls.

We're for teams whose operational constraints make traditional cloud platforms inadequate or unsafe. The hyperscalers are optimized for the mainstream enterprise market. That's fine, but it leaves entire categories of legitimate organizations without adequate solutions. If traditional cloud vendors can't serve you well, then we should talk.
