Abstract

In November 2020, the co-founders of DigiPlex study the future growth trajectory of their Nordic data center venture. A critical question was on the agenda: was now finally the right time to sell DigiPlex? Originally a $2.75 million investment in one small data center made in the wake of the dot-com bubble, the Norwegian-based firm had seen tremendous growth in the last two decades. DigiPlex was now worth over a billion dollars and comprised seven data centers across Scandinavia, offering high-speed connectivity powered by sustainable hydro-electric energy.
