// 06 Compute Offtake Brokerage

Contracted compute, matched on one price.

We broker term capacity contracts between GPU operators and the companies that need compute — priced against the Teraline index and structured to be financeable.

INDEXFINANCEOFFTAKECAPACITY ↔ DEMAND
// Why offtake

A signed offtake turns GPUs into a financeable asset.

Lenders price a cluster on its contracted cash flow. Most operators in Asia and the Gulf find tenants through personal networks, with no reference price and no standard terms.

01

Faster fill

Qualified offtakers reach operators directly, without months of bilateral search.

02

A fair price

Every term sheet is benchmarked to the Teraline index, so both sides see where the market is.

03

Bankable contracts

Standard terms, credit checks and step-in rights make the contract usable as collateral.

04

Hedged exposure

Rent left uncontracted, or re-pricing at renewal, can be hedged against the index.

// Who it serves

Two sides, one contract.

Supply side

GPU operators and new clusters

  • Neoclouds and data-centre operators with uncontracted capacity
  • Clusters before deployment that need an anchor tenant to raise financing
  • Operators re-contracting capacity as leases roll off
Demand side

Offtakers that need committed capacity

  • AI application and model companies scaling training or inference
  • Neoclouds and platforms buying wholesale capacity to resell
  • Enterprises and research institutions with dedicated-cluster needs
// What we do

From first match to signed, financeable offtake.

Counterparty matching

We source and qualify offtakers and capacity holders across Asia and the Gulf, then run a confidential process for each mandate.

Index-referenced pricing

Bids and offers are benchmarked to Teraline rental indices and forward curves, by GPU model, region and term.

Contract structuring

Term, take-or-pay, prepayment, SLAs, price-reset clauses and step-in rights for lenders.

Credit and compliance screening

Offtaker credit review, KYC, sanctions and export-control checks on both sides of every deal.

Financing and hedging hand-off

A signed offtake can feed directly into compute financing and an index hedge.

Delivery monitoring

Utilisation, uptime and payment status are tracked through the contract term.

// Process

Five steps to a signed offtake.

Step 3 is where the index sets the reference price both sides negotiate from.

// FAQ

Questions

Who pays the brokerage fee?

Fees are agreed in each mandate and disclosed to both parties before signing.

Do you hold capacity yourselves?

No. We are not a cloud provider and take no principal position.

Which GPUs and regions?

H100, H200, B200 and B300 clusters across Asia and the Gulf.

Can an offtake be used to raise financing?

Yes. Contracts we structure are designed to support compute financing from third-party lenders.
