Problem & Solution

Pre-leased 12MW IT capacity for AI inference workloads in the GCC

The Problem

AI inference workloads are exploding in the GCC but Tier-3+ data center capacity is 14–22 months back-ordered. Hyperscalers preferentially serve global clients, leaving regional enterprises, fintechs, and sovereign AI programs without compute access. The supply gap is driving rack-rental prices 38% above 2023 levels.

Our Solution

A modular Tier-3+ data center platform delivering 1.5MW pods on a 9-month buildout cycle vs the 22-month industry norm. Pre-engineered liquid-cooling for AI inference, GPU-optimized power density (40kW/rack), and sovereign-cloud certification for regional government workloads.

Market Opportunity

$48B GCC DC TAM addressable today

GCC data center capacity $9B (2025) → $24B (2030) · 22% CAGR · AI inference 45% of new demand

Co-location MRR per rack ($1,200–$2,400 depending on power density), GPU bare-metal hosting ($4.50/GPU-hour), managed cloud services (40% gross margin attach), and long-term reserved capacity contracts (5–7 year terms).

Traction & Proof Points

Moat & Exit Strategy

Defensible Moat

Pre-leased anchor tenants (3 customers covering 12MW) lock revenue before steel hits ground. Modular pod design compresses time-to-revenue by 13 months vs traditional builds — structural cost-of-capital advantage. Sovereign-cloud certification creates a regulated moat for government AI workloads.

Exit Path

Sale to a global data center platform (Equinix, Digital Realty, EdgeConneX) or regional infrastructure fund at 14–18x EBITDA on stabilized assets, or YieldCo IPO at $200M+ stabilized EBITDA within 6–8 years.
