About
Built to convert access into bankable AI infrastructure.
Outpace is an AI infrastructure sponsor and operator. It is being built to convert project access, customer demand and institutional capital into owned and operated AI infrastructure positions.
Purpose
Infrastructure for the intelligence economy.
The first phase of AI infrastructure rewarded scarce power, land and GPUs. The next phase rewards the ability to turn those inputs into contracted, utilised and differentiated intelligence services.
Outpace exists to do that conversion: to bring together project access, customer demand, capital, physical infrastructure and operating capability, and to be accountable for the result.
Structure
Platform value and asset risk are kept apart.
Outpace can sponsor, invest, operate or partner, project by project. Each project sits in its own ring-fenced ProjectCo.
Outpace
The company and master brand. Holds the team, the method, origination and retained interests.
ProjectCo
A ring-fenced vehicle that owns one asset or operating project, with its own investors, board and accounts.
Specialist partners
Data-centre operators, engineering firms and equipment financiers who run what they run best.

Built global private infrastructure before AI made infrastructure strategic again.
More than 20 years designing, building and operating infrastructure, connectivity, security and AI-enabled businesses across Australia, Asia Pacific and global enterprise environments.

Global connectivity

Governance and evidence
The principles Outpace intends to operate by.
A company that sponsors, invests in and operates the same project holds roles that can conflict. These principles are how Outpace intends to manage that.
- Separate boards, accounts and conflicts registers for the company and each ProjectCo.
- Independent approval of related-party fees, valuations and asset transfers.
- Outpace capital invested on the same terms as other investors unless disclosed and approved.
- Capital released against evidence, with regular reporting to investors.
- A clear allocation policy for projects, investors and co-investment rights.
- Regulated activity only under an appropriate licence or authorisation.
- Every public claim held in a register with its source, date and status.
