Capital for the 15–25% of project cost that comes before construction debt — land, power and interconnection.
Image · Pre-Development & Power FinancePre-development is where data-centre projects are won: interconnection deposits, land control, entitlements and long-lead equipment can consume 15–25% of total project budget before any construction lender engages — and grid connections of up to four years make secured power the real asset. Matchpoint arranges pre-development and power-linked capital from infrastructure investors and specialist lenders, structured to roll into the construction facility at financial close.
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.

There is no completed collateral and no certain power; specialist capital prices this stage and converts once power and offtake are secured.
Secured power capacity with a credible timeline — lenders now underwrite the grid connection before the building.
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 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.
