Hyperscale & Platform Capital

Platform- and portfolio-level capital for operators scaling multiple sites.

Overview

Platform capital funds data-center operators at the entity or portfolio level — rather than a single asset — to scale across multiple sites and markets. Matchpoint raises platform and portfolio capital from infrastructure funds, institutions and strategic investors.

As part of our Data Center Financing practice, Matchpoint Partners has originated and led $2+ billion of transactions across four continents — and every data center financing mandate is led by a partner, from first call to close.

Questions, answered

Hyperscale & Platform Capital — frequently asked questions

Capital raised at the operator or portfolio level to fund a pipeline of sites, rather than financing one asset at a time.

Infrastructure funds, institutional investors and strategic players seeking scaled exposure to digital infrastructure.

Matchpoint arranges the full capital stack for data-center developers and operators — land and powered-shell acquisition finance, senior construction and project finance, mezzanine, equity and JV capital, plus take-out refinancing and sale-and-leaseback once a facility stabilises. Tickets range from USD 20m to USD 500m+.

No. Matchpoint is a corporate-finance and capital-introduction firm: we structure and raise the finance, introduce equity and debt investors and advise on M&A. We do not provide engineering, construction or facility-operations services — those are delivered by your own contractors and operators.

Contracted, long-term lease or offtake cash flows from creditworthy hyperscale and enterprise tenants give data centers infrastructure-like return profiles, while structural demand from AI and cloud underpins growth. We structure debt and equity around those contracted cash flows and the asset’s secured power and connectivity.

Matchpoint works primarily on a success fee, with a modest retainer to cover execution. Fees are agreed in writing up front and scaled to the size and complexity of the transaction — with no hidden costs.

Most mandates reach a first term sheet within 30–90 days, depending on diligence readiness and structure; closing follows once terms are agreed.

A short, confidential scoping call and NDA; we structure the requirement and prepare materials, then run a competitive process across our 5,000+ investor and lender relationships, and negotiate to close — with a partner leading at every step.

Matchpoint Partners is based in the UAE and runs cross-border mandates across the UAE, KSA, India and the UK, with active deal activity in wider Europe, Singapore and the United States.

Matchpoint has originated and led $2+ billion of transactions, with equity tickets typically USD 5m–300m, debt USD 10m–500m+, real estate finance USD 20m–500m+, and fund placements for funds of USD 50m–1bn+.
