EXIM
U.S. capacity with an export component
- Underwriting based on customer contracts and projected revenue
- 25% export threshold — compute counts as a U.S. export
- Longer to repay, and easier to qualify for, than private credit
How It Works
On your schedule — not a credit committee's.
Three products, one counterparty. We pay your OEM up front, you deploy, and your long-term lender takes us out on schedule. One set of paperwork from purchase order to power-on.
Three Products — One Counterparty
01
Deposit Finance
Up to 75% of your supplier deposit, paid straight to the OEM, reseller, or integrator. Part of the same bridge, on the same paperwork.

I.The Four Steps
Your exit is locked before we fund.
01
Your exit is locked
Your long-term lender commits in writing to take the deal out, before we put in a dollar.
02
We fund the hardware
Senior-secured, non-recourse. Deposit finance can go in first if you need it.
03
Deploy & light up
Equipment installs at the approved data center, and your customer signs off.
04
Your lender takes over
Your long-term lender repays us, and you're set up for the next deal. You never refinance — you simply repay.
— You never refinance — you simply repay.
II.Your Deal, Your Dials
You get terms that fit the deal you actually have.
Your deal, your dials. Five things move your terms — how solid your exit is, your collateral, where the deal sits, your customer contracts, and any company guarantee.
III.The Bridge — From Purchase Order to Power-On
We fund your GPUs from purchase order to power-on.
Senior-secured against the hardware. Non-recourse to your company. Your long-term lender is lined up before we fund — yours, if you have one, or one of ours.
One deal at a time
Built around a specific deal and its long-term lender.
A single facility. One set of paperwork with you, your OEM, and the long-term lender. Sized to the exit. Best for one-off orders.
A standing line
Terms agreed up front. Same-day draw.
Set up once. Every approved deal draws same-day against terms agreed up front, and you only pay when you draw. The line increases as you build a track record. Built for operators running repeat deployments.

How you take it
One deal at a time, or a standing line that funds same-day
— Your deal, your dials. Your terms reflect the deal you actually have.
IV.Federal Funding
Government-backed terms private lenders can't match.
For deals that qualify, U.S. government programs offer longer to repay and are easier to qualify for than private credit. We have relationships built at Treasury level across two administrations. A bonus when a deal qualifies — never something you must have.
DFC
AI infrastructure in emerging markets
- Authority expanded to $205B under the FY26 NDAA
- Equity, debt, political risk insurance, and guarantees
- Strategic competition with non-allied financing
Department of Energy
Power-paired infrastructure in the U.S.
- $250B authority through September 2028
- Generation and grid reliability tied to AI campuses
- Loan guarantees and direct loans
— Whether a deal qualifies depends on where the hardware ships, who pays for it, and who's using it. We map that out in the first conversation, at no cost and under NDA.
V.How the paperwork flows
Money to your OEM. Hardware to you.
We sign one set of paperwork with you and your OEM. Capital wires straight to the OEM against shipment confirmation. The hardware ships with our security interest attached. Insurance is assigned to us as lender of record.
On install and customer sign-off, your long-term lender repays us, and the hand-off is automatic. Your company is never on the hook.
