Common challenges

01Allocation scarcity on H200, B200, and GB200 NVL72
02Tight timelines between funding rounds and cluster live dates
03Limited internal procurement capacity competing with engineering priorities
04Multi-region facility decisions with different supplier ecosystems

How Group APZ helps

01Run GPU and server sourcing on a founder- or infra-lead-friendly cadence
02Stand up the full cluster BOM: compute, fabric, storage, racks, optics
03Negotiate MSAs, warranties, and spares strategy that fit the burn
04Provide fractional procurement leadership as the company scales

AI-native companies move at a pace that traditional procurement cannot match. We embed quickly, work directly with the founders or infra leads, and run the sourcing process at the speed the roadmap requires — without leaving the company exposed on contracts, warranty, or supply continuity.
