GPU Financing & AI Infrastructure Financing

For both USA and International Projects – GPU Clusters, AI Compute and Supporting Infrastructure

For $1MM (USD) to $5 Billion (USD) GPU and AI Infrastructure Funding Requests

The network we have developed over the last 26 years is comprised of many Funders.

GPU Financing: Artificial intelligence runs on graphics processing units (GPUs), and the servers, networking, power and cooling needed to run them at scale require a large amount of capital up front. Whether you are a cloud provider adding GPU capacity, a data center operator building out AI-ready halls, or a company that needs its own compute, Commercial Funding International, LLC ("CFI") can help secure GPU financing and AI infrastructure financing through our network of Funders.

Funding Amounts: $1MM to $5 Billion (USD) and larger; preference for $10MM and larger; $10MM minimum for projects outside the USA.
Geographic Area: USA and USA-friendly countries worldwide.
Project Types: GPU clusters and servers, AI compute capacity, networking and storage, power and cooling, and the facilities that house them.

Types of Capital Available:

Equipment and Asset-Based Financing: Loans secured by the GPUs, servers and other hard assets. See Asset-Based Loans.
Contract-Backed Financing: Debt sized to the cash flow from customer compute contracts.

Power and Site: Secured power and a facility ready to host the equipment.
Useful Life and Exit: A realistic view of the equipment's useful life, and how the loan is repaid within it.

Whether it be an early-stage or an advanced project, the project needs to make sense. Our goal is to structure a deal that makes sense for everyone. To learn more, see Data Center Financing, Commercial Loans and International.
