## Resource

At DCD, we frequently cover stories about data centers getting funding, mergers and acquisitions, and investment in general. But we rarely get to talk to the investment bankers about it. In this episode, we discuss the current financial market in the data center industry - the trends Pryor is seeing, and the inevitability of the AI bubble. Tune it to hear what an investment banker focused on the technology sector thinks of the current climate.
