We're thrilled to announce Princeville Capital's investment in GDS International's (GDSI) $587M Series A! GDSI is spinning out of GDS Holdings Ltd. to independently develop its high-performance data centers and expand its presence internationally. The AI revolution has profoundly affected the tech environment, and our investment in GDSI reflects our strategy of investing in picks and shovels, not gold mines. As the need for AI-dedicated computing continues to grow, we are confident that GDSI's history of successful execution and future vision will be critical to fueling the infrastructure that drives AI innovation worldwide!
We're thrilled to announce a landmark US$587 million equity raise for GDS International (GDSI), marking a monumental step in our journey to expand international footprint. GDS International was established in 2022 with its corporate headquarters in Singapore. Its portfolio comprises 330 MW of data center capacity in service and under construction and a further 340 MW held for future development across key markets in Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia. GDS International has secured commitments and reservations from global and China customers for over 200 MW of capacity, of which over 70 MW is already revenue-generating. The successful capital raise values GDSI at a pre-money equity valuation of US$750 million. GDSI’s implied post-money enterprise valuation, including GDSI’s forecast net debt of around US$935 million at the end of 2024, is around US$2.3 billion. Following the closing of this transaction, GDSH will own approximately 56.1% of the equity interest of GDSI in the form of ordinary shares. The remaining 43.9% equity interest will be held by Investors, including Hillhouse, Rava Partners, Boyu, Princeville Capital, Tekne Capital, among others. “I am delighted to announce this landmark capital raising which is a big step forward in our strategy to obtain dedicated financing for the development of our international business on a standalone basis,” said William Huang, Chairman and CEO of GDS Holdings and Chairman of GDS International. “Within a short period of time, we have established market-leading positions in the major hub markets of Hong Kong and Singapore-Johor-Batam. We see tremendous opportunities for growth in these markets as well as in other new markets which we are currently evaluating. ” Please join us in welcoming Ms. Jamie Khoo as the new CEO of GDS International. Jamie transitions to this leadership role from her position as COO of GDS, where she has made significant contributions since January 2019. Her journey with GDS began in 2014, initially serving as Deputy CFO. Under Jamie’s leadership, we look forward to embarking on this next chapter of growth and success.

On March 8th, Princeville Capital had the privilege of hosting an event in partnership with the Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment (CCSI), delving into the intricacies of measuring the impact of Climate VC as part of our ongoing collaboration. The focus of this initiative is to enhance our climate impact methodology and strive for greater industry alignment. Our discussion focused on the standardization of key principles, definitions, and methodologies in climate impact assessments and reporting. By engaging multiple stakeholders, including early-stage VC, growth equity, private credit, and infrastructure PE funds, as well as Limited Partners (LPs), we brought in diverse perspectives across our industry. Key Takeaways: 1. Transparency Matters: Participants highlighted the importance of transparency in climate impact reporting. This ensures that stakeholders, particularly LPs, can comprehend the basis of calculation for key KPIs like enabled emission savings in CO2e. 2. Framework Consensus: Alignment emerged on the asset-level impact measurement framework, emphasizing lifecycle emissions and establishing a robust baseline using Project Frame methodology. 3. Ambiguity and Nuances: Challenges persist in horizontal attribution of impact in a value chain, consequential approach considerations for market impacts of new technology, and establishing impact thresholds in the pre-investment process. 4. Growing Techstack: Encouragingly, more and more technology solutions have emerged, enabling a robust climate impact and ESG tech stack for investors. 5. Industry-Wide Alignment: Daniel Firger from the Venture Climate Alliance emphasized the importance of broad industry alignment, not just within Climate VC but across private and public market investments overall. All efforts must align with the Paris Agreement targets to save our planet. Special Thanks: A heartfelt thank you to all participants for contributing to this crucial dialogue. Our sincere appreciation extends to the CCSI team, especially Lisa Sachs and Perrine Toledano, for their exemplary research and meticulous preparation. Let's continue our collaborative journey toward a sustainable future!
