Deal: Therma — Semi / Data-Center Ops AI Pilot
Summary
$25K pilot pitched to President Mike Fisher for semi/data-center ops AI; cleanest wedge-fit in the portfolio.
Why this deal is real
Therma is Blackstone-owned (Legence platform) = PE-driven margin/ops focus = receptive to AI productivity pitch with ROI math. Bay Area semi + data-center portfolio aligns perfectly to DKube wedge. $435M rev, 1,500 employees.
Pilot scope (draft)
Next step
Fisher first-touch referencing Legence's operating thesis + semi/data-center track record. CFO path blocked (Nicki P. email unavailable in Apollo) — use Kaeko Shirasu-Bailey (VP Fin) as finance entry.
Risks
Legence corp may mandate platform-wide tech decisions — validate Therma buying authority before investing cycles.
