Choose the right perspective
Match the person's business to yours, since a data center operator, a GPU cloud provider and a managed cloud services firm carry very different capital and contract structures. Also consider each person's career path, such as investment banking, hyperscaler finance or industrial finance, depending on whether your question is about financing, operations or growth.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you decide when to commit capital to new data center or GPU capacity ahead of signed demand?
- 02How do you think about pricing and gross margin for compute and storage as hardware costs change?
- 03What financing options have you used to fund infrastructure build-outs, and what tradeoffs came with them?
