Infrastructure investor I Squared Capital has launched a new data center company named Saragon, positioning it as a dedicated platform for building and operating digital infrastructure. I Squared manages over $36 billion in assets and has a track record of large-scale infrastructure investments across energy, utilities, and telecom. Saragon's formation signals that major infrastructure funds see a fresh entry point in the data center market despite crowded competition.
A new platform backed by a multi-billion-dollar infrastructure fund entering the data center market adds meaningful capital and competitive pressure to an already active field. The launch could accelerate site acquisition and construction activity, particularly in markets where established players face permitting or power constraints.
Named company I Squared Capital, new platform Saragon, and the scale of the parent fund's assets triggered selection. This is a concrete new market entrant, not a restatement of existing trends, which ranked it above the CoreWeave cooling blog post in this run.
