Power bottleneck
Grid connections are the new scarcity. The queue for a hyperscale hook-up now runs into years, not months.
A Sovereign AI Network · Europe
Compute that lives in the buildings you already know.
We put small, silent AI nodes inside the hospitals, offices, warehouses and homes around you, running on the power they already have to spare. Europe's AI, on European ground.
The problem
A single giant campus is the wrong shape for compute.
Europe is trying to fit the next decade of AI into a handful of fenced megasites. The grid can't feed them, clean power is wasted while they wait, and the data ends up somewhere else entirely.
Wasted clean power
On sunny, windy days the grid pays to switch off clean energy; at night it's almost free. That swing is pure waste.
Data leaves the country
European prompts, patient notes and documents shouldn't transit infrastructure owned and subpoenable abroad.
Concentrated risk
Compute stacked in a few sites, a few firms, a few jurisdictions is a dependency, not a strategy.
Who hosts a node
The network is made of buildings, not campuses.
Almost any building with a solid power connection can hold a node. The best hosts already have spare capacity, a reason for backup power, and quiet hours when the grid is cheap.
Hospitals & clinics
Heavy three-phase connections and round-the-clock operation, with backup power already mandated.
Backup battery doubles as resilience
Offices
Sized for a full workforce, but mostly empty after six and all weekend, exactly when power is cheapest.
Works hardest overnight
Warehouses & logistics
Vast roofs for solar, fat grid connections for cold storage and forklifts, and plenty of room to spare.
Soaks up rooftop surplus
Schools & universities
Strong connections that sit idle through evenings, weekends and long holidays for much of the year.
Funds the building it runs in
Housing blocks & homes
Thousands of small, shared connections that go quiet at night, the network's deepest, closest layer.
Closest to where people are
Shops & small businesses
An existing connection, a back room, and a monthly cheque that turns dead hours into income.
Earns through the quiet hours
How it works
Three layers, sized to your building.
The hardware is dull on purpose. The energy is whatever's cheap or going spare. And the network, if you join it, routes each request to the nearest awake node.
01 · The node
Hardware sized to the building.
Sometimes it's a single quiet server tucked beside the meter cupboard; sometimes it's a couple of racks we install and manage. Either way it's low-maintenance, and no IT department is required.
- ScaleOne server to a few racks
- SitingWherever there's spare power
- UpkeepWe install & manage it
02 · The energy layer
It runs on the swing.
The node tracks supply and price. When energy is cheap or in surplus it works hard; when the grid is strained it stands down. A flexible load that absorbs volatility instead of adding to it, and pays for every watt it draws.
- PowerSurplus & off-peak
- SignalPrice + grid load
- On peakStands down
03 · The network (optional)
Keep your nodes private, or share the load.
Run your nodes as dedicated capacity that only serves you, or join the distributed network to share spare compute with others and draw on theirs when you need more. Either way, requests route to the nearest awake node.
- DedicatedYour nodes, only yours
- DistributedShare & borrow compute

Manifesto
Energy is local. Compute should be too.
The cloud taught us a data center must be enormous, central, and somewhere else, drawing power across a continent to a fenced campus you'll never see. We think that shape is a relic. Compute can live wherever there's spare power.
A node is a flexible load. It ramps up when energy is cheap or in surplus and stands down when the grid is tight. Volatility the grid struggles with becomes useful work instead of waste, and every watt is settled with the energy company, with the host paid on top.
Distributed across thousands of buildings, not stacked behind one gate. The building earns, the grid breathes easier, and inference stays inside European borders on open weights.
Host a node
Your building uses power. Let it get paid.
We install, maintain and insure the node. You provide a wall and a grid connection, we handle the rest. In return:
-
Energy, covered
Every watt the node draws is paid straight to your energy company. Hosting never lands on your bill.
-
Paid to host
A monthly payment on top: your share of every request the node serves, transparent to the watt.
-
Battery backup
The included buffer keeps your essentials running through an outage. Yours to use, not just ours.
-
Full control
Pause it, cap its draw, or pull the plug whenever you like. It's your building, on your terms.
