Join the SLYD AI infrastructure lender network
Evaluate commercial GPU, data-center, power, cooling, and deployment financing opportunities aligned with your institution's mandate. SLYD coordinates opportunity intake, evidence, and transaction workflow. Your team retains independent control of underwriting, pricing, approval, documentation, and funding.
For commercial and institutional capital providers. Participation is subject to review and applicable agreements. Joining does not require funding any opportunity.
What is the SLYD lender network?
The SLYD lender network is a capital-partner program for institutions that evaluate commercial AI infrastructure transactions. SLYD organizes transaction information and routes potentially relevant opportunities according to each participant's stated mandate. Each lender decides whether to engage and conducts its own underwriting.
The goal is a cleaner path from an infrastructure requirement to an informed credit decision. SLYD coordinates the commercial, equipment, deployment, and evidence workflow so participants can focus on mandate fit, diligence, structure, and execution.
Built around mandate fit, not mass distribution
Capital providers define the transactions they want to evaluate. SLYD uses that profile to identify potentially relevant opportunities and avoids treating every lender as interchangeable.
Asset and project scope
Define the equipment, infrastructure, and project categories your institution can evaluate.
Structure
Identify the financing structures, security expectations, and transaction characteristics that fit your program.
Geography and counterparty
Set jurisdiction, borrower, sponsor, operating-history, and concentration preferences.
Transaction profile
Describe check size, term, stage, documentation, collateral, and readiness requirements.
A mandate profile is a routing input, not a commitment. Every opportunity remains subject to your institution's independent review and approval.
Who should join?
The network is designed for organizations that can evaluate or fund commercial AI infrastructure transactions and want a more structured path to relevant opportunities.
- Commercial banks
- Equipment finance companies
- Equipment leasing companies
- Private credit funds
- Specialty finance providers
- Infrastructure lenders
- Institutional capital providers
Participation is reviewed. Individual investors, retail capital, and organizations without authority to evaluate or fund commercial transactions should not use the lender contact path. Intermediaries that introduce opportunities without deploying capital should use the broker program instead.
Transactions may span the complete deployment stack
Opportunity scope depends on the borrower, asset, project, jurisdiction, and participating lender. Categories may include the following when supported by the specific transaction.
GPU and compute systems
New or qualifying recovered GPU servers, CPU systems, workstations, and related compute equipment.
Networking, storage, and racks
Interconnect, switching, storage, rack, cabling, and supporting systems required for the deployment.
Power and cooling infrastructure
Eligible electrical, power-distribution, backup-power, thermal-management, and liquid-cooling equipment.
Data-center and deployment equipment
Eligible modular infrastructure, site equipment, installation, integration, and deployment costs.
Equipment leases and financed ownership
Transaction-specific lease or ownership structures evaluated by participating capital providers.
Infrastructure and project structures
Broader structures may be considered when the project, contracts, collateral, sponsor, and documentation fit a participating lender's mandate.
No category is automatically financeable. Eligibility, structure, collateral, pricing, term, and approval are determined for each transaction by the participating lender.
A clearer starting point for diligence
The information available for an opportunity depends on its stage, the participant's authorization, and the documents supplied by the transaction parties. A transaction workspace may include:
- Opportunity summary and stated use of proceeds
- Borrower, sponsor, ownership, and counterparty information
- Equipment scope, bill of materials, quotes, supplier context, and available provenance
- Deployment plan, site, power, cooling, networking, and implementation readiness
- Project budget, funding sources, milestones, and open dependencies
- Financial and credit materials authorized for lender review
- Customer, contract, offtake, or compute-demand evidence when applicable
- Collateral, title, lien, insurance, and asset-management context when available
- Material risks, assumptions, unresolved questions, and document dates
- Transaction questions, document versions, decisions, and next-step ownership
SLYD must preserve the source and status of material information. Borrower-supplied, counterparty-supplied, SLYD-reviewed, and independently verified information must not be presented as equivalent.
From mandate intake to independent decision
- 01 · Submit your mandate
Tell SLYD which commercial transactions your institution can evaluate.
- 02 · Complete participation review
SLYD confirms fit, points of contact, confidentiality requirements, and applicable program agreements.
- 03 · Configure routing criteria
Define asset types, structures, geographies, transaction profiles, and diligence requirements.
- 04 · Review a relevant introduction
SLYD may present a limited opportunity summary when an available transaction appears consistent with the stated mandate.
- 05 · Opt into diligence
Your team decides whether to engage. Additional information is shared only through the approved transaction workflow and subject to applicable permissions and agreements.
- 06 · Underwrite independently
Your institution controls diligence, credit analysis, pricing, structure, conditions, documentation, approval, and decline decisions.
- 07 · Coordinate execution
If the parties choose to proceed, SLYD coordinates the transaction workflow, outstanding information, owners, milestones, and evidence according to the agreed role. Learn how the governed transaction workflow operates.
Joining the network does not create an obligation to review, quote, approve, or fund any transaction.
Your credit process remains yours
What SLYD coordinates
- Opportunity intake and organization
- Routing against stated mandate criteria
- Transaction questions and document workflow
- Source, date, and version context for material evidence
- Open-item, owner, and milestone tracking
- Communication among authorized transaction participants
What each lender controls
- Whether to review or decline an opportunity
- Underwriting standards and credit analysis
- Pricing, structure, term, collateral, and conditions
- Required diligence and independent verification
- Documentation, approval, funding, and servicing decisions
- Portfolio, concentration, regulatory, and compliance requirements
SLYD does not commit lender capital, approve credit for a lender, guarantee borrower performance, guarantee collateral value, promise transaction volume, or replace independent diligence.
Opportunity details are not a public deal feed
Public pages should never expose confidential borrower, lender, supplier, pricing, financial, or project information. Opportunity details are shared only through the approved transaction process, subject to participant authorization, access controls, and applicable confidentiality agreements.
The public contact form is for initial business and mandate context only. Sensitive credit documents, bank information, personal identity records, and transaction diligence belong in the approved secure workflow, not in the public intake.
Tell SLYD about your institution's lending mandate
Use the SLYD contact form to introduce your institution, the AI infrastructure transactions you evaluate, and the appropriate point of contact. Select the Lender or Capital Partner inquiry type and include a short description of your lending mandate. This starts an initial program-fit discussion and does not create an agreement or commitment to fund.
How participation works
What is the SLYD lender network?
The SLYD lender network is a capital-partner program for institutions that evaluate commercial GPU and AI infrastructure transactions. SLYD organizes transaction information and routes potentially relevant opportunities according to each participant's stated mandate.
Who can join the lender network?
Participation is intended for commercial and institutional capital providers with authority to evaluate or fund eligible transactions. SLYD reviews each submission and may require additional information and agreements before sharing an opportunity.
What types of opportunities may be presented?
Opportunities may involve GPU systems, networking, storage, power, cooling, data-center equipment, deployment costs, equipment leases, financed ownership, or broader infrastructure structures. Availability and fit depend on the specific transaction and lender mandate.
Does joining commit us to fund transactions?
No. Joining does not require a lender to review, quote, approve, or fund any opportunity. Each institution decides whether to engage on a transaction-by-transaction basis.
Who controls underwriting and financing terms?
The participating lender controls its underwriting, diligence, pricing, structure, collateral requirements, conditions, approval, documentation, and funding decisions.
What information is available for review?
Information depends on the opportunity stage and participant authorization. It may include the use of proceeds, borrower and sponsor context, equipment scope, supplier information, deployment readiness, project budget, financial materials, contracts, collateral context, risks, assumptions, and open diligence items.
How does SLYD match opportunities to lenders?
SLYD compares available transaction characteristics with the mandate information supplied by participating capital providers. A possible match is an invitation to evaluate, not a recommendation, approval, or assurance that the transaction meets a lender's requirements.
Are opportunities exclusive?
No exclusivity should be assumed. Any exclusivity, allocation, or process restriction must be stated in a separate written agreement for the specific transaction.
How is confidential information handled?
Confidential transaction information is shared only through the approved process, subject to authorization, access controls, and applicable confidentiality agreements. Sensitive diligence documents should never be submitted through the public contact-sales form.
Does SLYD guarantee deal volume, returns, repayment, or collateral value?
No. SLYD does not guarantee transaction volume, yield, returns, approval, closing, repayment, performance, or collateral value. Each lender must complete its own diligence and make an independent decision.
Does SLYD lend its own capital?
SLYD originates and arranges financing opportunities with third-party capital providers. SLYD does not represent that it is the lender unless a specific transaction document explicitly identifies a SLYD entity in that role.
How do we start?
Use the SLYD contact form to introduce your institution, areas of focus, and appropriate point of contact. SLYD will use that information for an initial program-fit discussion and, when appropriate, to configure opportunity-routing criteria.
Bring your lending criteria into the SLYD transaction workflow
Tell SLYD which AI infrastructure transactions your institution can evaluate. Participation begins with fit, clear decision rights, and a shared understanding of the evidence your team requires.
No commitment to lend. No promise of opportunity volume. Every financing decision remains with the participating lender.
