Prepayments
Every startup prepays part of its contract before its nodes go live.
01 / What Valnce brings
A book of contracts, ready to finance.
Funders finance the hardware. Valnce originates, underwrites and services the startup contracts behind it.
- Originated
- We find venture-backed startups that need dedicated GPUs and bring their contracts into the book.
- Underwritten
- Each startup is underwritten on venture backing, runway and workload before it signs.
- Prepaid
- Every contract is partly prepaid before its nodes go live.
- Diversified across tenants
- The book is spread across many startups, sectors and stages.
- Serviced by Valnce
- We handle billing, monitoring and reporting, re-lease nodes between contracts, and resell idle time.
02 / How cash flows
Funders are paid first.
Startup payments cover hosting and operations, then go to the funder first.
- 01
Startups pay
Each startup makes its prepayment, then pays over the term of its contract.
- 02
Hosting and operations
Payments first cover the data center and the operations that keep the nodes running.
- 03
Funder first
The next payments go to the funder, ahead of anything else.
03 / Risk controls
How we manage risk.
Each control is built into how contracts are written, financed and serviced.
Concentration limits
Each tenant has a limit, so no single startup becomes a large share of the book.
Re-leasing pipeline
Startups waiting for capacity take the nodes that free up between contracts.
Risk simulations
Before a book is financed and every month after, we simulate churn, prices and utilization against the payment schedule.
Compute futures and residual value
We are evaluating compute futures to hedge re-lease pricing, and residual-value protection for the hardware.
