OpenDiabetic
POWERED BY NVIDIA BLACKWELL · SELF-FUNDED

The first dedicated diabetic-compute-engine.

Diabetes is a 24/7 job. You don't have to carry it alone.

Win big — every day. Not someday. We own the machines, point them at the disease, and turn what they earn into real help. Built for them.

The thesis
I live the disease. We own the machines. So we point the machines at the disease.
02 The why

Built from my own scars.
Powered by NVIDIA Blackwell.

I'm Donovan. I'm a Type 1 diabetic — and I built OpenDiabetic from the inside of it.

I know this disease the way you only know it once it's taken something. I've lost toes. More than a dozen surgeries on my feet. This month: fifteen days in a hospital bed, four surgeries, two more toes gone. I'm healing as I write this. Not for sympathy — because it's the whole reason this exists, and because if you're living it too, you are not the only one.

Here's the other half — the half that wins:

We know compute. Our own rigs, powered by NVIDIA Blackwell. Not rentals — our silicon, our electrons. We cook best-in-class models and we run the machines around the clock. This is the thing we're cracked at.

And we built it the hard way: no VC. Self-funded. Real skin in the game. Nobody owns this mission but the people it serves — no investor to answer to, no exit to chase. I put my own money and my own machines behind it, the same way I've put my own body through this disease.

I live the disease. We own the machines. So we point the machines at the disease.

We are the first dedicated diabetic-compute-engine — and the engine earns. The proceeds come back as the things people actually need: a ride to the doctor. Shoes that fit. The right thing, right time, no charge, no strings. We give people what they need, not what we happen to have. Dignity, not charity.

Compute in, help out — every single day. The gift that keeps on giving.

Win big — every day. Not someday.

I'm not waiting on a cure to start living, and neither should you. Every day you take care of yourself is a win. We've got the machines, the mission, and the scars to mean it. Let's stack the wins together.

03 What it is

The foundation that makes LocalDiabetic possible

OpenDiabetic doesn't ship to your door — it makes sure what reaches you is worth trusting. The gatekeeper behind the warm front door.

LIVE

Open-source

Built in the open. The work is visible, forkable, and auditable — no black box.

LIVE

DefendableOS

Proof of execution. Every claim is receipted and re-derivable. Show the math, never trust-me-bro.

LIVE

R&D on our own compute

Our rigs, our models. We do the research on silicon we own — pointed at diabetes.

LIVE

Education board

Reviews, builds, and vets what gets made — so the deliverables are sound before they ship.

BUILDING

Bounty engine

Build-by-design → fundraise → give-back. Aligned competitions that fund real resources.

THE GATE

Verified · vetted · defendable

Nothing reaches the people that didn't pass the gate. Quality is the culture.

04 The engine

Our own silicon. Pointed at the disease.

NVIDIA Blackwell rigs on our own floor, running around the clock. Not rented — owned. The machines earn; the people win.

The machines earn

Compute is real value. We sell it the honest way and keep the lights on without a hand out.

The people win

Compute in, help out. Every day. The proceeds become rides, shoes, and the right thing at the right time.

05 The model

Give people what they need, not what you have.

It costs the people nothing — no charge, no strings. Self-funded, no VC, no investor to answer to. Dignity, not charity.

BUILDING

A ride to the doctor

Getting there shouldn't be the thing that stops care. We close that gap.

BUILDING

Shoes that fit

Diabetic footwear, shipped. Your feet are worth protecting — every day.

BUILDING

The full continuum

The right thing at the right time, across the whole journey — no charge.

🐝 Funded by compute income, recycled as net straight back into the people. The gift that keeps on giving.
06 The flywheel

Compute in, help out — on a loop

No exit, no extraction. The proceeds of the machine come back to the people, and the people keep it spinning.

Your records never leave your home

Models flow down, receipts flow up — your data never crosses. The math is visible because there's no cap table to hide.

Your home

LocalDiabetic, on a box in your house. PHI stays put.

08 One house

OpenDiabetic & LocalDiabetic

Two surfaces, one mission. The foundation and the front door.

THE FOUNDATION · THE GATEKEEPER

OpenDiabetic builds the compute, runs the R&D, and guards the gate — so every deliverable is verified, vetted, and defendable.
