Who We Are

Operators and owners — now your independent advisors

Strut Partners is a team of revenue and infrastructure executives with 20+ years leading go-to-market, pricing, and partnerships for data center and AI cloud businesses.

We have been the operator buying and selling capacity, the data center owner, and the advisor helping enterprises, investors, and neocloud providers make the right long-term bets.

That combination is the point: we speak the language of the data center floor and the language of the boardroom, and we bridge the two so you can make fast, defensible infrastructure decisions.

What sets us apart

  • Independent perspective, not a single provider's agenda

  • First-hand founder/operator experience. We know the pressures founders, CEOs, and PE/VC MDs face

  • Proven across the data center and GPU-as-a-service (Neocloud) verticals

Leadership Team

Don Allen is the founder of Strut Partners and a senior advisor focused on GPU cloud and data center infrastructure. He has led revenue, go‑to‑market, and large‑scale colocation efforts for AI and cloud providers, most recently in executive roles at Applied Digital and other PE‑backed technology companies, including six startups and three exits.

Don brings operator‑level experience across data centers, neocloud platforms, and complex B2B sales, helping clients translate MW and GPU requirements into executable strategies, provider selections, and commercial structures that boards and investors can support. He also serves on the boards of multiple charitable nonprofits and advises a range of companies across diverse verticals.
