Strategic Risks
- Rapid scaling to a $14.6 billion valuation in roughly three years invites questions about execution risk and capital efficiency
- Heavy reliance on NVIDIA as both GPU supplier and equity investor concentrates supply-chain and capital risk
Future Outlook
- Continued global expansion of GPU compute and data centers across Europe, North America and Asia to serve Microsoft, OpenAI and other AI labs
- Board additions (Sandberg, Decker, Clegg) suggest preparation for further scaling or an eventual public listing
