Very nice, congrats!

One thing:

>Freestyle is the only sandbox provider with built-in multi-tenant git hosting — create thousands of repos via API and pair them directly with sandboxes for seamless code management.

Maybe I’m just stupid, but I don’t know what this means. I initially thought I’m your target audience but after failing to understand this part I’m thinking maybe I’m not? I honestly don’t know.

If git isn't for you we'd still love to support you. We believe to build the sandboxes for coding agents you also need to provide git repos for them so we do that as well. You can easily say give me this vm with these 3 repos and these permissions with us.

But that said, the sandbox stands on its own without it.

It’s difficult to understand the content and what the product actually is, as I’ve also mentioned in another reply. I think the product is probably great, but you need to improve the communication, it’s too abstract.

I don’t know what “give each sandbox a unique git repository” does for me in practice, what problem it solves.

You’re not providing any practical problems your product is intended to solve.

I think you should just explain that part more clearly: why would they want you to host git repos on their behalf.
Freestyle isn't designed for an individual engineer working on their Github repos. Its designed for platforms building coding agents that want to take the place of Github all together. Those platforms need some source of truth alongside the VMs, just like how you don't store all of your important documents on your personal computer. That is why we offer git.
