Founded in Barcelona in 2020 by Francesc Font, Bea Mesas and Joaquim Mach, Incapto operates a vertically integrated coffee-as-a-service model combining in-house roasting, connected hardware and a digital subscription platform. Its IoT-enabled machines send usage data back to the platform, which the company uses to optimise delivery timing, personalise selections across nine-plus origins, and automate reorders. Inventory is presold through subscriptions prior to roasting, and the service targets both households and office customers as an alternative to capsule systems. Incapto positions itself as a technology-enabled service company blending hardware, software and subscriptions, competing with both subscription coffee services (e.g., Pact Coffee, Trade Coffee, Bottomless) and premium machine makers (e.g., Nespresso, De'Longhi, Jura). The company has stated that the fresh-bean subscription model reduces capsule waste and can be more cost-effective than traditional capsule systems. Financially, the business has raised about €16 million to date, including the newly closed €10 million Series B.

Vantage Data Centers builds and operates hyperscale data center campuses for the world’s leading AI and cloud providers. The company delivers capacity across North America, EMEA and Asia Pacific and emphasizes speed and scale in deployment and operations. Vantage is accelerating its APAC expansion after securing a $1.6 billion investment to scale its regional platform, led by affiliates of GIC and ADIA with DigitalBridge participating. Planned growth includes the acquisition of Yondr Group’s 300MW+ Sedenak campus in Johor, Malaysia, which will be known as JHB1 and add significant hyperscale capacity. With the Johor addition, Vantage’s APAC operational and planned IT capacity will reach 1GW across Australia, Malaysia, Japan, Taiwan and Hong Kong. The company highlights sustainability features such as direct-to-chip liquid cooling and EDGE certification pursuit, and expects the investment and acquisition to close in Q4 2025. Vantage Data Centers builds and operates hyperscale data center campuses and provides capacity to cloud and AI customers. The company raised €640 million in euro-denominated securitized term notes plus €80 million in unfunded Variable Funding Notes in this transaction. Proceeds will refinance four fully leased German data centers (two in Offenbach/Frankfurt and two in Berlin) and support capital expenditures and broader corporate initiatives. Vantage said the refinancing is intended to accelerate its EMEA expansion and speed time to market to meet mounting AI and cloud demand. The notes have an anticipated five-year repayment date and carry ratings (Class A-2: A-; Class B: BBB) from Standard & Poor’s and Scope Ratings. Over the last year Vantage has raised €2.2 billion in new debt financing for its EMEA platform and previously completed the first-ever EMEA data center ABS in sterling. Vantage develops and operates hyperscale data center campuses across North America, EMEA and APAC, providing power, cooling, protection and connectivity for large cloud and enterprise customers. In 2024 the company expanded into new markets (including Ohio and Ireland), broke ground on six campuses, and opened 11 facilities. Planned and existing global capacity surpassed 2.6GW across 35 campuses in 14 countries and 21 markets. The company secured more than $13 billion in debt and equity investments in 2024 to fund its expansion. Vantage’s global headcount exceeded 1,700 employees at year end, a 32% increase year over year. The company is pursuing net zero carbon emissions by 2030 and reported a Total Recordable Incident Rate of 0.26 in 2024. Vantage powers, cools, protects and connects the technology of hyperscalers, cloud providers and large enterprises and develops and operates data centers across five continents including North America, EMEA and Asia Pacific. The company focuses on delivering reliable, efficient and sustainable hyperscale data center campuses in flexible environments that can scale with market demand. Vantage’s EMEA portfolio includes approximately 2.5GW of IT capacity that is operational or in development. The announced capital will expand the company’s investor base and capital sources to support delivery of additional high-quality, sustainable campuses. The company said GIC and MEAG will invest a combined €1.4 billion ($1.5 billion USD) into its EMEA data center platform. The transactions are expected to be finalized in the first quarter of 2025, subject to certain closing conditions and regulatory approvals. Vantage Data Centers is a leading global provider of hyperscale data centers. The company is expanding its Québec City Data Center Campus (QC2) with construction of a third facility currently underway by Pomerleau Inc. Once fully developed, the campus will total 925,000 square feet (86,000 square metres) and generate 86MW of combined IT capacity; the new facility will add 16MW of IT capacity. The expansion is intended to meet rising demand for cloud services across Québec and Eastern Canada and to serve Vantage's global top-tier customers. CDPQ committed USD 75 million (CAD 103 million) as part of senior financing to support the project, and the broader USD 130 million (CAD 179 million) credit facility was structured and underwritten by Societe Generale. The new facility is expected to be completed in Spring 2025.
