Problem Statement
GPU Compute Customer Challenges
High Costs: Hyperscaler solutions charge premium rates, making sustained AI development prohibitively expensive for many
Limited Availability: Quotas, waitlists, and vendor lock-in restrict access to needed resources
Lack of Flexibility: Rigid pricing and resource allocation models don't accommodate variable workload needs
Datacenter Provider Challenges
Capital Constraints: GPU infrastructure requires substantial upfront investment
Investment Illiquidity: Traditional GPU investments have limited options for partial ownership or transfer
Operational Complexity: Managing multiple clusters and payment streams is resource-intensive
Ecosystem-level Challenges
Centralization Risks: Concentration of resources among few players limits innovation
Quality and Reliability Concerns: Decentralized GPU provision raises consistency questions
Inefficient Resource Allocation: Current models create compute shortages for certain brokers while leaving capacity idle in others
Investor Challenges
Limited Investment Vehicles: Most investors can only seek exposure to AI opportunity via public market equities, with limited upside yields compared to direct infrastructure ownership
High Capital Requirements: Investment in AI infrastructure is typically limited to very large scale investments in entire AI datacenters, shutting out smaller investors and individual participants
Extreme Illiquidity: AI infrastructure investing is typically highly illiquid with few exit potentials beyond liquidation at end of life, locking capital for extended periods
