Answers are derived from the roster record shown on this page — filing status, last round and confirmed marks. Where the record is silent, the answer says so rather than guessing.
DayOne is the international hyperscale-data-center spin-out of China's GDS Holdings, focused on AI-grade liquid-cooled capacity in Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, and Indonesia. Closed a $2.0B Series C in early 2026 led by GIC and Kuwait's KIA, taking total funding past $3.9B. Reports suggest IPO ambitions north of $20B - a listing window may open in 2026 if AI capex demand holds.
