Every API call to AWS, GCP or a foreign GPU cloud leaves the Kingdom. Regulated sectors legally cannot send data abroad under PDPL — yet that is where nearly all GPU capacity lives.
AI by the token. Whole GPUs by the minute. Live, audited, billed in Riyal — data never leaves the Kingdom. A live product with paying renters, raising to scale the fleet.

Every API call to AWS, GCP or a foreign GPU cloud leaves the Kingdom. Regulated sectors legally cannot send data abroad under PDPL — yet that is where nearly all GPU capacity lives.
Frontier models are English-first. Fine-tuned 4–8B Arabic models beat frontier on domain Arabic tasks — but no Saudi infrastructure exists to serve them self-serve.
Thousands of RTX 3090s and 4090s sit idle in Saudi homes, labs and offices, earning nothing — while the Kingdom imports compute it already owns.
The Kingdom has GPUs. The Kingdom has demand. They are not connected.
DCP is Saudi Arabia's first open GPU cloud — a two-sided marketplace connecting GPU providers with renters, verified live and billed in Riyal. Sovereign by construction: control plane and GPUs all in-Kingdom, PDPL-compliant. The Airbnb of compute, sovereign edition.
Drop-in endpoint at api.dcp.sa/v1 serving an Arabic-first open-model catalog on in-Kingdom GPUs. Pay per token, automatic failover, 100 SAR starter credit on signup. 33 models live.
A dedicated card, full root: Jupyter over TLS + SSH in about a minute, any Docker image. Deadline-enforced, restart-proof, prepaid in SAR with automatic refund of unused minutes.
Both products share one set of rails: one WireGuard mesh, one verification engine, one billing core. A model fine-tuned on a pod can be served from the same marketplace it was trained on.
| Model | Origin | Status on DCP | Role |
|---|---|---|---|
| ALLaM-7B | SDAIA (Saudi) | sovereign anchor · vLLM-Marlin ready | Arabic-native generation |
| Qwen family (4B–27B) | Alibaba (open) | serving live now | General + Arabic, the live catalog |
| JAIS · Falcon | G42 · TII | catalog-ready, on demand | Gulf-Arabic + multilingual |
| Llama · DeepSeek | frontier open | opt-in, per-tenant | Cross-border, separate invoice line |
Sovereign by default, frontier by choice. Arabic and KSA-resident models serve in-Kingdom with a PDPL audit trail; cross-border frontier models are an explicit per-tenant opt-in. Competitors treat Arabic as a checkbox — DCP treats it as the core.
Every government entity needs Arabic AI; 2026 is the Kingdom's declared Year of AI. SDAIA + NVIDIA are standing up a sovereign-AI cluster — sovereignty is now procurement policy, not preference.
Saudi industrial power (~$0.05–0.08/kWh) gives a consumer RTX 3090 a 3–10× cost advantage per token versus the same workload on a foreign API. The margin is structural.
AI agents are the fastest-growing consumer of compute. DCP is built for zero-human, API-first provisioning — the only KSA cloud designed for agents, not humans.
The frontier is pricing itself out and intelligence is going local: the open/closed capability gap fell to ~1.7%, small models are 10–30× cheaper to serve, and open-weight models already carry ~⅓ of all token volume. Every local model needs a place to be trained and a place to be served — that is DCP, end to end.
| Player | In-Kingdom | Arabic AI | Consumer GPU | Two-sided |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DCP | ✓ native, PDPL | ✓ first-class | ✓ WireGuard mesh | ✓ both sides |
| AWS / Azure / GCP | ✗ data leaves KSA | ✗ afterthought | ✗ datacenter | ✗ |
| vast.ai / RunPod | ✗ foreign DC | ✗ none | ◐ some | ◐ partial |
| HUMAIN (PIF) | ◐ in build | ◐ enterprise | ✗ H100/GB300 | ✗ enterprise-only |
DCP occupies the unfilled cell: sovereign, consumer-GPU, two-sided. PDPL is the moat — SAMA/NCA-regulated money legally cannot use vast.ai or RunPod. HUMAIN's hyperscale buildout is complementary, not competitive: they serve the state top-down; DCP aggregates the Kingdom's existing hardware bottom-up.
| Supply tier | Hardware | Platform economics |
|---|---|---|
| Consumer providers | Idle RTX 3090 / 4090 / Apple M-series | Provider sets price · DCP takes 25% |
| DCP-owned nodes | Node 2 + Node 3 (4× RTX 3090 + Threadripper) | Full margin on inference · same take on pods |
| Enterprise burst | Partner-backed H100/H200/A100/L40S | Cost-plus 40% compute · 30% inference |
Two products, one engine: inference (30% markup on cost) and GPU pods (40% markup, 75% to the owner), both priced cost-plus in SAR so margin holds regardless of which tier serves the request. The owned-fleet tier is where the round goes — and where the economics compound.
EBITDA at 300 GPUs
Annualized EBITDA
Payback per GPU
Net margin / GPU / mo
| Month-6 P&L · 100% DCP-owned fleet | Value |
|---|---|
| Gross revenue | SAR 216,000 / mo |
| DCP net revenue | SAR 190,080 / mo |
| Staff · infra · other | SAR 60,000 / mo |
| Depreciation (non-cash) | SAR 41,667 / mo |
| EBITDA | SAR 88,413 / mo |
| Total CAPEX to 300 GPUs | SAR 1,800,000 |
Assumptions, deliberately conservative: RTX 3090 at SAR 2/hr · 50% utilization · fleet ramp 10 → 100 (month 3) → 300 (month 6) · used GPUs at SAR 5,000 each. The GPUs are asset-backed — liquid hardware worth ~SAR 1.5M that generates cash from month one.
Post-money SAR 10,000,000 · pre-money SAR 9M. Priced at 9.4× forward EBITDA — below the 12–15× comparable KSA infrastructure deals command. Anchored to the owned-fleet model, not hype.
| Investment | Equity |
|---|---|
| SAR 200,000 | 2.0% |
| SAR 350,000 | 3.5% |
| SAR 500,000 | 5.0% |
Or a SAFE at SAR 10M cap with standard accelerator discount. The accelerator check is a first close toward the SAR 1M round.
~200 used GPUs at SAR 5K each, taking the fleet to ~300 — the asset that generates the EBITDA above.
Fine-tuning & published benchmarks proving DCP-hosted Arabic models beat frontier APIs on quality, cost and residency.
Enterprise sales into regulated sectors, platform hardening, and the first key hires.
Commercial lead — partnerships, regulated-sector relationships, and the Saudi go-to-market.
Built the platform end to end: the verification mesh, dual-product rails, and billing core — shipped and audited in production.
Finance and infrastructure — banking background; operates the first dedicated GPU node and the hardware-acceptance pipeline.
DCP's in-house AI operator, running on the platform's own inference — monitors fleet health, ships code, and reports to the team. The company runs partly on the product it sells.
Bootstrapped to a live, audited product on ~SAR 38K. The hard parts — billing, verification, dual-product rails, sovereign mesh — are already built and shipping daily.
Published Arabic benchmarks proving in-Kingdom fine-tuned models beat frontier APIs on quality, cost and residency. The Year of AI, converted into paying, sovereign workload.
