Channel Partners - Get Your Clients Projects Financed Faster
Updated March 2026
Why Partner With Us
GPUs make up 60% or more of data center capex. When your client needs financing for a GPU cluster, lenders hesitate because nobody can predict what the hardware will be worth in 3 years.
GPU residual value insurance removes that uncertainty. A guaranteed resale floor gives lenders confidence, and projects that were stalling on financing move forward faster.
Your clients also benefit from more flexible loan structures: balloon payments sized against the guaranteed floor, equity for refinancing, and smoother tech refresh cycles where they sell current-gen hardware at a known minimum and reinvest in next-gen.
We focus on projects around $30M in cluster cost, which isroughly 500 GPUs or 72 nodes, and typically under 2.5 MW.
Who We Work With
How the Partnership Works
- You identify a client with a GPU cluster project that needs financing or residual value protection.
- Introduce us, or send us the equipment details (Bill of Materials preferred) directly. We respond within 1 business day.
- We quote a guaranteed floor and premium. The client (or their lender) reviews and decides.
- If the client proceeds, coverage binds. The policy can name the client's lender as loss payee (benefits the lender directly).
No certification or formal onboarding required. We work with partners on a deal-by-deal basis. If you bring a steady flow of referrals, we can discuss a structured arrangement.
When to Bring Up RVI With a Client
- A GPU cluster project stalls because the lender is discounting collateral too heavily.
- A client is comparing lease vs. buy and wants to de-risk the buy option.
- A financing group asks for better collateral protection before approving a GPU-backed facility.
- A client plans a tech refresh in 1-2 years and wants confidence in recovery value. Disposal can happen at any point during the policy, with the guaranteed floor varying by year.
