The Problem
Small teams sharing one GPU for local LLMs have no access control, rate limiting, or logging.
Real Demand Evidence

I set up a shared Ollama instance for my team but now two people are hammering it simultaneously and everything slows to a crawl. I need rate limiting, user quotas, maybe an API key system — basically a proxy layer.
Core Insight
A proxy layer that provides rate limiting, user quotas, and logging for small team deployments.
- Target Customer
- Small teams using shared GPU hardware for Ollama deployments.
- Revenue Model
- Subscription model charging $20-50 per month.
Competitive Landscape
Complex to configure and assumes running at scale
Willingness to Pay
- $10–$25/mo
Small teams self-hosting Ollama on shared GPU hardware would pay $10–$25/mo for a managed proxy layer that handles rate limiting and usage tracking without devops overhead.
