Posting here because I want someone who's genuinely excited about the problem, not just the equity.\n\nThe gap: the UK just backed sovereign AI compute with real money - a £1.1bn AI Hardware Plan, a £500m Sovereign AI Fund with direct GPU-hour grants. At the same time, NHS and life sciences data governance is tightening hard - DSPT v8 now maps to the NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework, genomics orgs got pulled into that regime in Sept 2025, and the MHRA is rewriting how AI medical devices get hosted and updated in production.\n\nNobody's building the thing that sits between those two trends. Generalist neoclouds (Nscale, CoreWeave, etc.) compete on raw GPU scale, not health-data compliance. Hyperscaler \"UK regions\" solve data residency but not real sovereignty - they're still exposed to the US CLOUD Act. And the compliance-software layer (TRE tooling etc.) mostly sits on top of someone else's infrastructure rather than owning the stack.\n\nWhat we'd build: a UK-incorporated, UK-owned compute + compliance layer - GPU/AI infrastructure with DSPT/CAF-aligned, Five Safes-compatible, MHRA-AIaMD-ready governance baked in - for NHS trusts, genomics orgs, and pharma/health-tech AI vendors who can't or won't run regulated workloads on a hyperscaler or a generic GPU cloud.
