ABOUT ME

I'm building Casitel, the financial institution for compute.

Oil, power and metals are financed, traded, priced and hedged. Compute mostly isn't yet.

I got here through powered land. 15 years, 100+ projects, exited from 4 businesses.

A short timeline

Beginning:working under service agreements to originate projects for investors.
Years 2-4:raising capital from HNWs to develop small projects from greenfield to operational.
Years 4-8:building platform businesses in energy infrastructure and data centre development and exiting 4 of them.
Years 8 on:developing and investing across powered land, internationally across the UK, USA, GCC, Central Asia.
Now:Casitel. The financial institution for compute.

In those years I have had successes and a whole lot of failures. I've sat at tables where I've thought to myself how has a lad from the North of England got here. But even through the ups and downs I've enjoyed the lot.

How I can help

  1. The posts. Everything I have learned about powered land and compute, in the open, no course behind it. LinkedIn
  2. If you have a site, submit it to Casitel. Submit a deal
  3. If you allocate capital, need sites or buy compute, request an intro. Request an intro

If none of that is you yet, follow along anyway. I write about compute, in case you hadn't noticed.

See you on the feed.
