NVIDIA has made a minority investment in Cloverleaf Infrastructure, a Houston-based developer that builds sites for data centers, the two companies said in a release dated Aug. 21, 2026. The investment is meant to help Cloverleaf's customers and utility partners meet rising demand for accelerated computing.
Cloverleaf will apply the NVIDIA DSX Platform to bring site, power and cooling, computing and facility decisions together earlier in the design phase, so customers can weigh infrastructure tradeoffs before they build. Once a site is running, the DSX software and infrastructure are meant to help customers optimize energy use and computing capacity.
The partnership also opens Cloverleaf customers to NVIDIA's broader AI factory stack, including accelerated computing, high-performance networking, and infrastructure and platform software alongside DSX.
Cloverleaf was formed in 2024 with an initial investment from Sandbrook Capital and NGP Energy Capital. It has since delivered multiple gigawatt-scale projects to customers across North America. J.P. Morgan Securities LLC served as Cloverleaf's exclusive financial advisor on the deal, and Kirkland & Ellis LLP acted as its legal counsel.
What the companies said
David Berry, Cloverleaf's co-founder and CEO, said AI is "accelerating demand for digital infrastructure at an unprecedented scale." Nico Caprez, NVIDIA's vice president of global AI infrastructure growth, said AI factories need "land, power and shell" as their foundation, and that Cloverleaf brings site and power development expertise to the partnership.
