Question 1

What is Silicon Peaks?

Accepted Answer

Silicon Peaks is the idea that the Himalaya can be for the intelligence age what Silicon Valley was for the software age: a technology hub where clean power, cold air, high ground, and a young technical workforce concentrate. Anchored in Nepal, it serves South Asia and the Asia-Pacific with compute, jobs, and an ecosystem the region currently imports.

Question 2

What is Silicon Peaks Compute?

Accepted Answer

A Nepali company, incorporated in Delaware, building AI compute infrastructure where Himalayan water power is abundant, clean, and cold. We work with partners and governments under NDA. In short: the Himalayan Compute Company.

Question 3

Why Nepal?

Accepted Answer

Upwards of 100,000 MW (100 GW) of theoretical hydropower with under 5 percent built, cold air at altitude, and 1.4 billion neighbors one fiber hop away. The inputs of the intelligence age sit in one geography.

Question 4

How much water does an AI factory use?

Accepted Answer

A 100 MW AI factory uses less fresh water in a year than a neighborhood tea shop pours in two to three months. Modern halls run closed loops: fill once, circulate for years, like the radiator of a car. Daily draw from drinking supplies is near zero.

Question 5

How do I reach the team?

Accepted Answer

Write to founders@siliconpeaks.ai with one paragraph on who you are and what you hold or need. Replies within 48 hours, under mutual NDA.

Question 6

Where is the company based?

Accepted Answer

Silicon Peaks Compute is a Delaware corporation with a dual base: Kathmandu for land, power, and build; San Francisco for capital and governance.

Question 7

What is the infrastructure gap?

Accepted Answer

Global data-center power demand is on track for roughly 2,000 GW by 2050 against about 600 GW of committed supply. The 1,400 GW between those numbers is the opening. It closes where power is cheapest, cleanest, and closest to demand.

Question 8

Who spends the most on data centers?

Accepted Answer

The United States leads by a wide margin; hyperscaler capital spending alone approaches $725 billion in 2026. China runs the world's second-largest fleet, with tens of gigawatts already installed. India is building fastest from behind, anchored by campuses measured in the tens of billions. Nepal shares a border with two of the three.
