I try to believe in as many as six impossible things before breakfast

[Ditlev @ditlev]

X: you're selling RTX PRO 6000s for $199 a month?
Me: yep. Flat rate. Monthly. On packet·ai

X: the Blackwell one? 96GB?

Me: the DC edition. 96GB GDDR7.

X: that can't be right. Those things rent for $1.50-2.50 an hour everywhere else.

Me: I know.

X: so at 24/7 usage that's... less than 30 cents an hour?

Me: $0.27 if you want to be precise.

X: how?

Me: same answer as always. Multi-tenancy. hosted·ai runs the scheduling and overcommitment. Average VRAM usage across our GPUs is under 20GB. On a 96GB card, that's a lot of headroom.

X: so you're overselling?

Me: we're utilising. Airlines oversell seats. Cloud providers oversell CPU and RAM. We do the same with GPU - but smarter, because we actually measure and schedule it.

X: and the $199?

Me: it's the Digital Ocean moment for GPUs. Simple pricing. No calculator. No reserved instances. No "contact sales." You just pick a GPU and go.

X: who's this for?

Me: developers. Tinkerers. Small teams that need serious VRAM but don't want to deal with hourly billing anxiety. Fine-tuning, inference, dev environments - 96GB handles a lot.

X: what's the catch?

Me: limited nodes. We're not AWS. But what we have is real and it's running.

X: weren't you selling these at $0.66/hr before?

Me: we still do. But some people just want a flat monthly number. No surprises. Like renting a flat vs paying by the night.

X: you said you got 3 sales in the first hour last time

Me: before we were even ready. First deployment had to be handheld. That told us something.

X: what?

Me: that simple pricing wins. People don't want to do GPU math. They want a number they can budget for.

X: where?

**Pros:**
1. **Follow-up Investments:** Currently, participating in follow up (A/B-)rounds in my existing portfolio often poses a risk of over-exposure on my part. While great opportunities, it's often just too much money for me. A fund would provide the leverage needed to reinvest confidently. I am left with FOMO-feelings...

2. **Flexibility in Investment Stages:** My forte lies in the early stages. However, attractive later-stage opportunities do present themselves. Like above, the magnitude of investment for these can be overwhelming without the backing of a fund. It's frustrating turning down great investments again and again.

3. **A More Structured Approach:** I'm fortunate to have a small team that assists with investment decisions, legal and due diligence. Yet, the appeal of having co-investors and a formalised structure, with an actual investment committee, is undeniable.

4. ** Dealflow & Networking:** While https://t.co/0wGcizbwwz have enhanced my dealflow, there are gaps in my network (like agritech investments, where I am actively looking for deals). Collaboration might bridge these voids.

Now, as I stand at a crossroads, I contemplate the idea of raising a fund—envisioning around $20-25M, with a personal contribution of perhaps $2-3M. As I weigh this decision, several pros and cons come to the fore:

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Grateful to the @folketinget, the Danish government and the Danish people for the decision to increase the financing of the Ukraine Fund by $2.6 billion. This major contribution will further strengthen the combat capabilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the short and medium term. Our strength is in unity!
