The edge data center market is on track to grow from $9 billion today to over $18 billion by 2026. Drivers of the incipient edge data center construction boom include:
· Need for ultra-low latency
· Network congestion, i.e., too many devices trying to connect to cloud-hosted servers
· “data gravity” – the need to process smart device data locally
· Security – customer controls its own data
The fund’s managing partners and advisors bring unique backgrounds to the task of earning investor returns on edge and regional infrastructure:
- Diversity of experience, e.g., enterprise technology, space technology, commercialization of new technologies
- Strategic relationships that can enhance value of portfolio companies
- Cross-industry vision, i.e., success with regional/edge infrastructure will require seeing “over the wall” of any particular sector
