Field report coming soon 🦅
Colocation and powered shells are the most difficult aspects to due diligence
Since many of our neoclouds have ran into misleading and fraudulent claims during their lease negotiations, we’ve decided to take matters into our own hands
Internet Backyard is built for operators
It can’t always be NYC or SF, someone gotta hold it down in Midland Texas
@netbackyard first field trip to a 300mw site with negative gas prices and liquid cooling
I love my job 🤠
@netbackyard builds the rails where compute is metered, billed, and settled. CEO Mai Trinh (ex-Sanctuary AI) is joining our September 30th session on GPU market structure, ahead of next month's GPU futures listing.
No two exchanges racing to launch agree on an index. Without a standard GPU-hour, there's nothing to hedge or lend against.

How do you trade a commodity without a verifiable and traceable general ledger?
You can’t. You can’t financialize something the market can’t agree happened.
Tune in on why.
Compute futures list October 5. Five days before this launch, hear from the people building this market on what to lean into and the common pitfalls to avoid.
Join Clément Salaün (CTO, @formancehq), Mai Trinh (CEO, @netbackyard), and Brett Harrison (CEO, @Architect_Fi) for a live webinar on September 30th.

Today we're launching https://t.co/BlKNFocVzu.
Buying or selling GPU capacity means describing the same cluster over and over: model, count, region, fabric, term, price. It's slow to write, easy to garble, and impossible to track once it's been forwarded a few times.
Remember the triangle of mythical creatures when you make your next compute procurement
Also, if you need compute, let us know to connect you to sellers
No broker
SITUATION EXPLAINED: Why are neo clouds sitting on compute while everyone else says there is not enough?
We asked @omaikasei, founder and CEO of @netbackyard
"This industry runs on handshakes and how good of a dinner you get to invite to."
"There's this triangle of mythology when it comes to compute. You either get early access at a higher price or less favorable terms, or you wait and get better terms and better pricing. Every single player in the industry wants all three things at the same time. That's a mythical creature that just doesn't happen."
"When people say that there's not enough compute, it means there's not enough compute that meets their specific demands. But there is a lot of compute available. Just they couldn't work on the price, they couldn't work on the term, they couldn't work on the live date."
"There are so many that we see the NeoCloud or the colo that we're working with that are just sitting on and waiting for offtaker to come in and meet where they're at."
Adding more gnomes to the @netbackyard
We’re building a new asset class at the intersection of compute, finance, and AI, and demand is already setting our hair on fire
If you’re obsessed with data centers, want to make more compute available to the world, and want to help shape the next decade of the financial system, come build with us
We’re looking for people who are competent, dedicated, intense, and low ego.
This is not a walk in the park. We work hard, seriously hard.
But if that sounds like joy to you, we’d love to meet.
