🌱 Bonus Thought

AI's infrastructure needs are so massive that they're reshaping global finance. JPMorgan estimates $5 trillion in data center investments over five years, money that must come from every corner of capital markets. Meanwhile, Google drops $15 billion on India's AI hub while ex-Big Tech executives raise $100 million for memory-dense servers that replace entire server racks.

The real story here: whoever controls the financial pipelines feeding AI's expansion controls the future. Debt markets versus equity raises. Geographic concentration versus distributed infrastructure. Public capital versus private innovation.

Companies securing funding first lock in competitive advantages for decades. Regions attracting capital become tomorrow's AI superpowers. The financial structures emerging now determine whether AI development stays concentrated in a few hands or spreads across global markets.

Watch where the money flows. If you're building in AI, your funding strategy isn't just about growth; it's about positioning for the infrastructure wars ahead. The winners will be those who understand that code without capital is just expensive research.

Money flows where opportunity is clearest, and right now that's wherever AI infrastructure gets built fastest.
