We identify and approach enterprise owners with data center assets to sell or lease, before they reach the open market.
Transaction Advisory
End-to-end deal support from initial valuation and LOI through diligence, structuring, and close.
Colocation Placement
Matching enterprises and growing tech companies with AI-ready colocation capacity that fits their timeline and power requirements.
Conversion & Retrofit Planning
Technical and financial roadmaps for transforming legacy enterprise facilities into modern, AI-capable infrastructure.
Capital Advisory
Connecting acquisition opportunities with the right capital partners: PE, family office, and infrastructure funds.
Market Intelligence
Ongoing coverage of target markets: power availability, asset disposition activity, and demand trends.
Who We Serve
One Market. Three Conversations.
Every data center deal has multiple parties. We work with all of them.
Enterprises & Asset Owners
You own data center infrastructure that no longer fits your core business. Maybe it’s a legacy facility from an IT consolidation, a campus being rationalized, or a building you’re ready to sell or lease. StackedAI helps you understand what it’s worth, who the right buyers are, and how to run a process that gets you to close, without the friction of a generalist broker who doesn’t understand the asset.
Talk to Us About Your AssetCompanies Needing Capacity
You need data center space for AI workloads, cloud migration, or business continuity, and the market is tight. We help enterprises, managed service providers, and neo-cloud operators find the right colocation capacity in the right markets, with power density and connectivity that matches what you’re actually deploying.
Find Capacity for Your WorkloadInvestors & Capital Partners
You’re looking for data center exposure with strong fundamentals: real assets, contracted revenue, and AI infrastructure tailwinds. We bring qualified acquisition opportunities to investors who understand digital infrastructure and are ready to move on the right deal.

Focus Markets
Where the Best Opportunities Are
We concentrate on high-growth U.S. markets where data center infrastructure is mature, enterprise ownership is concentrated, power is accessible, and demand from AI-driven workloads is accelerating. These are the markets where relationships and local knowledge create a durable edge, and where the most compelling off-market opportunities are still findable.

About
Built for This Market
StackedAI was purpose-built for the data center transaction market. That means our market intelligence, deal experience, and relationships are concentrated in one place: digital infrastructure. We understand the technical reality of these assets: power infrastructure, cooling systems, fiber connectivity, and what AI workloads actually demand from a facility. We bring that knowledge to every engagement, whether we’re advising a seller, sourcing capacity for a buyer, or packaging a deal for capital. Our focus is tight. Our market knowledge is deep. We work where the best opportunities are.
Off-Market Access
Our pipeline comes from direct relationships with enterprise owners, not listing services or open-market searches.
End-to-End Capability
From first conversation to close, we handle every stage of the advisory process without handoffs.
Technical Fluency
We understand the asset (power, cooling, fiber, and conversion economics), not just the paper around it.
Leadership
Experience That Compounds
Founded by a 21-year data center industry veteran with deep relationships across enterprise IT, colocation operators, and infrastructure capital. Our team combines technical fluency with transaction experience: we’ve been inside the facilities, at the negotiating table, and through the close.
