The buyers and tenants for the sites the screener finds. Every item shows what was filed next to what was reported, so you know which half is a fact.

Three companies that need megawatts they do not have.

Ranked by how soon the money has to turn into a site.

Example Inference Co.

Funded to build

FiledForm D: $420M equity raise closed; use of proceeds “construction of owned compute facilities.” SEC Form D, filed 3 days ago ReportedTrade press puts the target at “two 100 MW campuses in the Sun Belt by 2028.” Not in the filing. Trade press, 2 days ago Why it mattersOwned facilities means land, not colocation. Two sites, 200 MW, three-year clock. ReachCompany switchboard and investor-relations inbox on the filing. No individual contacts published

Example Grid Cloud, Inc.

Funded to build

Filed8-K: $1.1B senior secured credit facility; collateral schedule lists “data center real property to be acquired.” SEC 8-K, filed yesterday ReportedReporting names Texas and Ohio as candidate states. The filing names no state. Trade press, yesterday Why it mattersDebt secured on land not yet bought is the clearest tell there is. Acquisition window is now. ReachCompany switchboard. No individual contacts published

Example Model Labs

Stated need

Filed10-Q risk factors: “our access to compute capacity is constrained and we have not secured facilities sufficient for planned training runs.” SEC 10-Q, filed last week ReportedInterview quotes a “gigawatt over three years.” Unfiled and unattributed to a site. Trade press, 4 days ago Why it mattersA stated shortfall in a filing is a tenant looking for a landlord with power. ReachCompany switchboard. No individual contacts published

Filed = the SEC document, quoted. Reported = the press, attributed. The brief never merges the two, and never publishes a person’s name, direct email, or phone number.

How each item is built.

Filings first
Form D, 8-K, S-1, 10-Q and 10-K text is read for capital raised, debt secured on real property, and stated capacity shortfalls. A line only earns “Filed” if it quotes the document.
Press second, labelled
Trade coverage adds the size, the geography, and the timeline the filing leaves out. It is always shown as “Reported,” attributed, and never folded into the filed line.
Ranked by the clock
Money that must become a site soonest goes first: secured debt on land not yet bought, then closed equity for owned facilities, then filed shortfalls.
