The product

Compute that goes where the grid doesn't.

Built for buyers who need 24 H100s of sovereign compute and have none of the infrastructure a traditional datacenter assumes. Delivered turnkey, sited by the buyer, operated remotely.

24× H100 1 MWh COOLING CLUSTER BATTERY
20-ft ISO · drop-deck towable

One container.
Everything inside.

Engineered as a discrete, deliverable, financeable asset. Drop it on unprepared ground, level it, power on. The microgrid controller does the rest.

  • 1 3× HGX H100 SXM5 nodes on InfiniBand
  • 2 1.0 MWh LFP battery · 200 kW solar wings
  • 3 Closed-loop liquid cooling · dry cooler (no water)
  • 4 Starlink Business + 5G/LTE failover
Why off-grid

Six problems the
centralized datacenter
can't solve.

Every existing option concedes sovereignty. A central DC depends on a grid and a landlord. Colocation depends on a provider and a jurisdiction. Cloud depends on a hyperscaler's terms. None of them are truly off-grid at H100 density.

01 Sovereignty

The buyer owns the metal.

Not a tenancy on someone else's infrastructure. The pod is movable sovereign property — owned, titled, registered. Cloud is a rental. Colo is a lease on space. A central DC is a fixed, targetable facility. A pod is a finished, financed, transportable asset.

→ Park it where you want → Move it when you need to
02 Off-grid

True autonomy.

Solar + battery + air-rejected cooling. No grid interconnect, no water utility, no fuel logistics. The only supply chain is sunlight.

200 kW solar 1.0 MWh LFP
03 Transportable

DOT-legal.

20-ft ISO on a drop-deck trailer. Ships fully assembled. Park, level, power on.

Drop-deck Off-road capable
04 Networked

No fiber drop needed.

Starlink Business primary, 5G/LTE failover. Deployable where no data-center infrastructure exists.

Starlink 5G/LTE failover
05 Resilient

Distributed fleet.

Network 5+ pods into a distributed compute fabric. No single point of failure. No central facility to censor or attack.

Fleet-topology
06 Honest engineering

Not a fake SLA.

Energy-following compute — throttles at night and in cloudy weather, runs flat-out under sun. Honest off-grid physics, not greenwashed 24/7 promises on an undersized battery.

Sun peak100% compute
Cloud cover60% compute
Night (battery)40% compute
The math

One pod.
Self-paying.

Each pod's 24 H100s can serve thousands of small-business AI subscribers running unlimited Kimi K3 inference. At realistic utilization the pod pays for its own electricity and cooling — and then some.

Subscribers Monthly / pod Annual / pod
500 users · $50/mo $25,000 $300,000
1,000 users · $50/mo $50,000 $600,000
2,000 users · $50/mo $100,000 $1,200,000
Cost to serve / sub / mo −$5 to −$15 −$60 to −$180
Net at 1,000 subs ~$40,000 ~$480,000

The pod pays itself.

At 700+ subscribers the pod's electricity, cooling, and Kimi K3 API spend is fully covered by subscription revenue. Above that, every additional subscriber is gross margin — and the buyer keeps the metal.

"Each pod, properly built, clears $1M to $2M of margin in the first 24 months — not from GPU rental, but from the gap between the financed amount and the $5M sale price, plus the recurring service contract."
How it's paid for

QuickFi-financed.
Zero upfront fees.

The pod is financed at the point of sale by QuickFi (Innovation Finance USA LLC, founded by Bill Verhelle, ex-CEO of First American Equipment Finance, ex-ELFA Chairman). Glitch doesn't touch cash to originate the deal — the buyer's loan funds delivery.

The pod is the collateral.
The buyer is the credit.

A $5M pod is a discrete, deliverable, auditable asset. The bank lends against the buyer's sovereign credit with the pod as secured collateral and a vendor residual guarantee to soften the bank's recovery profile.
