Industry Leaders in Data Center Solutions
Founded by two veteran entrepreneurs with over 35 years of experience in the data center industry, hi-tequity brings unparalleled expertise and innovation to every project. Our founders’ deep industry knowledge has been the cornerstone of our success, having launched and sold multiple technology companies in the data center space to exit, including one of the original national design-build companies and the largest third-party service company recently acquired by ABM.


Our Advantage: Speed, Relationships, and Delivery
What sets hi-tequity apart is our exceptional ability to deliver on our promises with transparency and efficiency. Our established long-term relationships with landowners, general contractors, vendors, operators, and financial institutions form a robust network that creates unique fulfillment opportunities for our clients. These strategic partnerships and our deep understanding of the capital stack ensure that investors and operators receive appropriate returns promptly.
Strategic Land Portfolio & Market Intelligence
Our team continuously analyzes market trends, including demand for fit-out data center capacity, powered land, entitled land sites, and the availability to source the complete electrical and mechanical infrastructure expeditiously. This insight led our founders to invest in a private equity firm with multiple entitled land sites under our control across strategic locations.
Exclusive Industry Partnerships
hi-tequity proudly serves as the exclusive sales agent for a global power and cooling solutions leader. This manufacturer is renowned for providing electronics for NVIDIA chipsets and is a premier provider of critical UPS, CDU racks, and other essential data center infrastructure components.
Through this exclusive partnership, we offer groundbreaking solutions, including innovative technology, which eliminates the inrush generated by AI workloads. This critical advantage prevents negative impacts on infrastructure, switchgear, and breakers upstream of these demanding loads. JESUS’ VERBIAGE – GPUs are the backbone for AI, UPSs are the backbone of GPUs, and they both are transforming our industry. Not all workloads consume power the same way machine learning is the heavyweight, demanding massive energy as it trains for days, even weeks. Inference is the sprinter, requiring fast, responsive power to make real-time decisions in sub-seconds. Balancing both takes precision.
The Difference
The key to the model is three-fold:
By partnering with hi-tequity, you can access industry-leading expertise, critical-vendor relationships, and accelerate infrastructure delivery that can transform your data center strategy from concept to operational reality in record time, helping to meet your projected returns while getting you to revenue faster.
