  • What are the financing table stakes in the AI infrastructure economy?
  • Are credit wraps, such as Nvidia’s proposed US$250bn OpenAI guarantee, bridging the gap to investment-grade credit? And if so, at what cost?
  • Are Neoclouds now being underwritten as infrastructure rather than tech platforms? And how is that refocusing lender appetite and pricing?
  • How are lenders assessing risk across GPU supply, anchor customer demand and colo capacity? And how do Neocloud and traditional cloud profiles differ?
  • When will we see the first fully vertically-integrated Neocloud platform?
