Common challenges

01Allocation scarcity on GPUs, servers, and other hardware
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 all hardware 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.
