Latent Space: The AI Engineer Podcast · Railway: The Agent-Native Cloud — Jake Cooper · 20 May 2026 podcast

And so you have this much cash, how much money should we raise?

How, like, how quickly can we go and deploy it, et cetera, if we can scale revenues basically as quickly as we can scale compute, provided we continue to make it trivially easy for people to go and build and deploy.

And that, like, the faster you can close this loop and the more operational excellent you are with the capital, like, just the faster your business can, it's just a basically like straight linear kind of like deployment rate on some of that stuff, you know?

What rates do you get?

Who are the lenders?

We just pay RIME at whatever it is, plus we can refinance any of the debt as it goes down.

The terms are pretty good from that perspective.

I think...

Yeah, yeah, or whatever.

It's data-centered debt.

Yeah, it's data-centered debt, right?

But yeah, I think there's specific tools in specific areas where you can be very, very deliberate about...

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I think, incidentally, I think also people think about VC completely wrong from a raising capital perspective.

Yeah, yeah.
