AI infrastructure
The computing power
behind the AI economy.
CUDO gives Bolt exposure to the infrastructure needed to train and run AI: GPUs, data-centre capacity and power.
June 2025–May 2026

2025 versus prior year
Management-reported figures, August 2026. Contracted revenue is not the same as recognised revenue or cash received; it may span multiple years and remains subject to delivery and contract terms.
Investing in
the enabling layer.
AI applications depend on access to high-performance compute. CUDO’s proposition sits underneath those applications, supplying the infrastructure businesses need to develop and deploy them.
As reported in August 2026, CUDO is an NVIDIA Cloud Partner with data-centre and energy supply contracts secured. This connects the investment case to capacity delivery, utilisation and customer demand.
What matters to the investment
- Delivering contracted capacity and converting commitments into revenue and cash.
- Securing funding on terms that support growth while managing dilution.
- Maintaining access to hardware, energy and operational expertise.
Leadership and Bolt’s involvement
Operating experience.
Financial discipline.
Founder Matt Hawkins built C4L, which was sold for £20.2m in 2016. David Bell serves as CUDO’s Executive Director and CFO, giving Bolt direct operational insight through its managing partner.
Bolt reports involvement in seed funding, financial leadership and the appointment of senior talent. This involvement supports oversight; it does not eliminate execution or investment risk.
The questions
worth asking.
Contract quality
How much of the contracted revenue is binding, over what period, and with which delivery obligations?
Capital and cash
What funding, infrastructure expenditure and working capital are needed to deliver it?
Economic exposure
How do the underlying share rights, option arrangements and potential dilution affect Bolt’s proceeds?
