In February 2025, Surf announced a $175 million equity investment to accelerate fiber deployment and expand access to reliable, high-speed internet in underserved and rural communities. This subsequent investment reflects the planned execution of that commitment and supports the next stage of Surf’s fiber buildout as the company advances construction activity and prepares additional markets for launch.
“Macquarie Capital has been a strong partner,” said Ryan Delack, Chief Financial Officer of Surf Internet. “Their continued support allows us to deploy capital thoughtfully while maintaining the financial discipline needed to scale responsibly.”
“We are proud to continue supporting Surf Internet as it expands critical broadband infrastructure across the Great Lakes region,” said Sam Southall, Managing Director, Infrastructure and Energy Capital at Macquarie Capital. “Surf’s disciplined execution and impact-driven mission make it a standout partner in addressing the digital divide.”
