Expert Statements
Michael Maniscalco, CEO of QumulusAI
“We have funded our GPU deployments the same way since the start. With customer deposits, cash from capacity already in production and financing partners like TFC”
Michael Maniscalco, CEO of QumulusAI
“Expanding this facility keeps that model in place as we scale, so the hardware is paid for by contracted demand rather than by our shareholders.”
Brent Clarbour, VP of Vendor Relationships of TFC
“In AI infrastructure, getting the hardware is only part of the challenge; the harder part is often having the capital ready to pay for it and put it to work fast.”
Brent Clarbour, VP of Vendor Relationships of TFC
