I'm here to get you a deal.
Capacity is easy to ask for and hard to actually get. A lot of the good blocks are never listed publicly: providers offer them first to people they know. Through me, you get those offers too.
| Compared | On a GPU marketplace | Through me |
|---|---|---|
| Capacity | What providers choose to list | Listed capacity, plus blocks offered to me privately |
| Who you deal with | A listing and a support inbox | One person who knows the provider |
| Terms | The listed price and standard terms | Negotiated: price, deposit, start dates and a test run where possible |
I live in Taiwan.
The server makers, data centres and GPU clouds of Asia are in my time zone, and I can be in their office the same week. When a provider says capacity is ready, I can go and see it.
My network is in Asia.
Data centres and GPU clouds in Taiwan and across Asia-Pacific, many of them hard to reach from Europe or the US. When the best offer is in the US or Europe, I bring you that one instead.
You deal with me.
No sales queue and no ticket numbers. You talk to me from the first message to the day the servers go live, and I usually come back with options within one working day.
The provider pays me.
My fee is agreed with the provider and paid when the contract is signed. You sign directly with the provider, on their paper, at the price we negotiated.
Four steps, one contact.
-
Send your requirement
GPU type, number of GPUs, location, start date and term. If you want an NDA first, I'll sign one.
-
Get a shortlist
Offers that fit, side by side: price per GPU-hour, deposit, term, setup and when the capacity is ready.
-
Choose and sign
I negotiate, make the introduction and keep things moving. You sign directly with the provider.
-
Go live
I stay on it until your cluster is running, and I'm there when you need more.
What I'm placing now.
A sample of the capacity and hardware I'm working on this month. Provider names stay confidential until we're under NDA.
| What | Where | Terms | When |
|---|---|---|---|
| H100 SXM, 8-GPU servers | Taipei, Taiwan | Bare metal, 2 TB RAM, about 20 TB NVMe, by the month | December more from April 2027 |
| H200 nodes | Taiwan | Bare metal, InfiniBand, 12-month minimum | Now, limited |
| B300 and GB300 clusters | US and Asia | Reserved, 1 to 3 years | 2027 starts |
| DDR5 RDIMMs and enterprise NVMe | Taiwanese makers, Asian stock | Volume orders and sealed lots | Ask |
Indicative only. Availability changes weekly and is confirmed in writing for each request.
Have capacity to fill?
I bring qualified buyers to data centres and GPU clouds.
AI labs, startups and platforms that need dedicated capacity, mostly in Asia-Pacific and Europe. I qualify them before you hear about them, so you only spend time on buyers who can sign.
- Terms agreed in writing first: a referral fee or a partner price, whichever you work with.
- Every buyer is named to you before an introduction.
- Your prices and your contract. I never undercut your list.
Fast, and by the book.
Export controls
Every buyer and end use is screened. No deals with sanctioned countries or parties, and US export rules on advanced GPUs apply to every deal.
Confidential
NDAs on request. Your requirement and your name go only to the providers you approve.
Registered company

Arwin and Wan
We do this together.
I'm Dutch. After nine years in B2B sales in Europe I moved to Kaohsiung, where I run The Dutch Merchant, taking Taiwanese makers to buyers abroad. On a compute deal I find the capacity, negotiate the terms and stay on it until you're live.
Wan is Taiwanese, my partner in life and in business, and the reason I'm here. With her, the Taiwanese side of a deal happens in Mandarin and in person.
So you work with two people: one who knows Taiwan from the inside, and one who knows how buyers in Europe and the US work.
The Dutch first traded from Taiwan in 1624. I'm keeping up the tradition.
