AI Compute Infrastructure Brokerage
The compute is ready. The capital is ready. The bottleneck is the ground it sits on.
We connect powered properties to committed AI compute buyers, and bring the financing that turns a matched site into live infrastructure — in a fraction of the usual timeline.
Why This Market Exists
Power decides where AI gets built. Almost no one is matching it to demand.
Every week, buyers with capital and committed demand fail to find a site that can actually be energized in time. Every week, owners of large, powered properties sit on assets they don't know qualify. Supply and demand exist on both sides of this market — they simply aren't finding each other. We built the connective layer in between.
Demand is outrunning supply
Compute buyers are moving faster than hyperscalers can build, and faster than most sites can be identified, diligenced, and energized.
Power is the real constraint
Interconnection queues and grid capacity — not chip supply — set the pace of new AI infrastructure. Sites with power in hand are the scarce asset.
Qualifying sites are hiding in plain sight
Dilapidated malls, closed distribution centers, shuttered plants, and retired campuses already have power, land, and structure. Most owners don't know what they're sitting on.
For Property Owners
Turn an underused asset into contracted, income-generating infrastructure.
Own a large property with power access — a closed mall, a shuttered distribution center, an idled plant, a retired campus? We evaluate it against real, committed AI compute demand, bring a financing partner who funds the buildout, and turn it into a contracted asset — with buyers and capital already in place.
Qualifying property types
- Dilapidated or closed malls
- Shuttered distribution centers
- Idled manufacturing or industrial sites
- Retired big-box retail
- Closed university or corporate campuses
- Other large-footprint properties with power access
- 01
Tell us about the site
Location, footprint, power access, and current status — a short intake, not a data room.
- 02
We assess viability
Power, interconnection, structure, and buyer fit, evaluated by people who understand the full economics.
- 03
We match capital and demand
A qualifying site is matched to committed buyer demand and our financing partner, who funds the buildout.
- 04
The site goes live
Infrastructure is racked, stacked, and energized under contract. Your asset starts generating income.
For Compute Buyers
Skip the hyperscaler queue. We find the site, fund the hardware, get it live.
Need compute at scale — to buy or lease GPUs, secure committed capacity, or find a physical home for hardware you already own? We source powered sites globally, structure financing through our capital partner, and get infrastructure racked and running, without the wait lists.
What we help you secure
- Buy or lease GPU capacity at scale
- Secure long-term committed compute capacity
- Find a powered site to deploy owned hardware
- Structure financing for a build you've already identified
Be first in line for NVIDIA Vera Rubin.
We source current-generation GPUs today, and we're already tracking NVIDIA's next-generation Vera Rubin platform. Join the waitlist and we'll reach out the moment early capacity opens up.
- 01
Tell us what you need
Compute type, scale, timeline, and any constraints — region, power profile, contract structure.
- 02
We source matching sites
Drawing on a global pipeline of powered properties, vetted for viability, not just availability.
- 03
Financing gets structured
Our capital partner funds the buildout — GPUs racked and stacked, without you carrying the balance sheet risk.
- 04
Infrastructure goes live
Under contract terms you control, and in a fraction of the timeline a hyperscaler or ground-up build would take.
Why Work With Us
Big-shop expertise. Boutique speed.
Speed & agility
Direct access, fast decisions, no committees and no layers. We move while larger institutional shops are still scheduling the kickoff call — a decisive advantage for both sides of a deal.
Full-picture expertise
Real industry experience across GPU economics, power markets, financing structures, and site viability. Counterparties deal directly with people who understand the whole deal, not a single slice of it.
Global reach
We source sites and match demand across markets — not one region or one buyer list. Scale finds you the fit, wherever it is.
Committed demand in hand
We already work with real buyers actively looking for sites, and a financing partner ready to fund the buildout. A matched site isn't a hypothetical — it's a start.
Who's Behind This
Built by people who've sat on both sides of this table.
“We've spent our careers in power, real estate, and infrastructure financing. We kept seeing the same thing from both sides: buyers who couldn't find a site, and site owners who didn't know what they had. Backplane exists to close that gap directly — no committees, no black box, just people who understand the deal end to end.”

How It Works
From handshake to live infrastructure, fast.
One process, run by one accountable team, from first conversation to energized site.
- 01
Source & qualify
A site or a buyer enters the pipeline and is vetted for power, viability, and fit.
- 02
Match
Paired against our live pipeline of powered sites on one side, committed demand on the other.
- 03
Structure financing
Our capital partner structures funding to acquire, rack, and stack the hardware.
- 04
Execute
Contracts are finalized directly between accountable counterparties — no unnecessary layers.
- 05
Go live
Infrastructure is energized: revenue for the site owner, capacity for the buyer.

Real-World Impact
Challenge. Solution. Outcome.
Placeholder vignettes — illustrative deal shapes, not real transactions. Replace with real case studies.
Closed regional mall, matched to a multi-tenant GPU deployment
- Challenge
- A shuttered mall with strong grid interconnection sat vacant for years — no buyer in the traditional retail or logistics market saw a use for it.
- Solution
- We identified the power position, matched it to compute demand actively seeking that region, and brought in financing to fund the buildout.
- Outcome
- The property owner moved from a stranded asset to a contracted, income-generating site.
Idled manufacturing plant, activated for a compute buyer's timeline
- Challenge
- A compute buyer needed a powered site fast, with a timeline no hyperscaler queue could meet.
- Solution
- We sourced a shuttered industrial site with existing power infrastructure and ran diligence and financing structuring in parallel.
- Outcome
- The buyer secured capacity on their timeline, without waiting on new construction or a hyperscaler allocation.
