Were building the company which will de-risk the largest infrastructure build-out in history.

When people finance GPU clusters the datacenters housing them and the infrastructure powering them they need offtake - meaning someone has signed a contract to lease the cluster for a period of time before its even built.

Financing a GPU cluster is inherently risky since margins are thin and volumes are huge. Lenders dont want to take on the risk that cluster developers cant repay their loan and cluster developers really dont want to risk not selling their cluster. As a result risk is offloaded to the customer using fixed-price long-term contracts.

If you dont mitigate this customer risk theres a bubble. This isnt SaaS anymore - application layer companies sign multi-year contracts for computer and inference but sell to customers on monthly subscriptions. If you mess up a purchase its game over: a minor shift in your revenue growth rate might mean the difference between profit or bankruptcy. But what if companies could exit their contract by selling it back to the market

Otherwise as AI scales compute only becomes available to folks who can effectively take on that risk. A 2-person startup in a San Francisco Victorian cant realistically sign a 5-year take or pay contract on $100m supercomputers. But they may be able to buy the month of liquidity that someone else sold back.

So thats what we make: a liquid market for GPU offtake.
