Novagate Copied Megaspeed's Website And Now Sells Nvidia GPU Capacity

Novagate’s website advertises Nvidia systems after its first site reused Megaspeed’s words, amid scrutiny of chip controls.

Nvidia said in its latest annual report that it was effectively shut out of China’s data centre computing market. Yet Novagate, a Singapore company whose first website carried Megaspeed’s own words about Nvidia, now advertises GB300 and B300 systems and is hiring people to maintain GPU records involving Nvidia and US export regulators.

Megaspeed is another Singapore provider of graphics processing units (GPUs), the chips used to run artificial intelligence systems. Singapore police are investigating it, and US lawmakers have requested answers about the company and Nvidia’s security protocols. Novagate’s archived pages show its first website was built from Megaspeed’s, months before its newer site and recruitment drive.

The distinction matters because cloud customers rent computing power while the servers remain elsewhere. The relevant questions extend beyond which company buys the chips to who uses them and where they operate. Novagate’s website and job adverts describe that business, with Nvidia named throughout.

Megaspeed’s Words On Novagate’s Website

Megaspeed is registered in Singapore as a cloud services provider. The Singapore Police Force said on 30th October 2026 that its investigation into the company remained ongoing.

The website resemblance was already public. Culper Research’s report of 13th May 2026, which disclosed a short position in Nvidia shares, showed the two sites side by side.

An Internet Archive capture of Novagate’s company page, dated 13th April 2026, preserved this sentence: “Megaspeed collaborates closely with NVIDIA, offering regular training to enhance the team's technical capabilities.”

The sentence also appears on Megaspeed’s company page archived on 19th May 2025. Novagate’s version retained Megaspeed’s name.

Bored Node’s comparison, with company names and archive address prefixes normalised, found 206 of Novagate’s 228 distinct company page code lines matched Megaspeed’s. The partner pages matched on 160 of 177 lines, also about 90%.

The Novagate and Megaspeed partner pages displayed Nvidia, Intel and Gigabyte in the same layout.

Singapore’s company register dates Novagate’s incorporation to 2nd October 2025. Its novagate.com.sg domain was registered on 3rd November. The newer novagatecloud.ai domain was registered on 25th June 2026. Both domains name Novagate Cloud Pte. Ltd. as registrant.

Nvidia’s Position On China And Megaspeed

Nvidia’s annual report for the year ending 25th January 2026 said that, at that year end, it was “effectively foreclosed from competing in China's data center computing/compute market”.

Its quarterly report to 27th July 2025 separately said over 99% of controlled data centre compute revenue billed to Singapore came from orders placed by customers based in the US. That disclosure covered the second quarter and first half of its fiscal year.

Megaspeed’s own statements describe inspections involving Nvidia and US authorities. In its statement of 23rd December 2025, it said inspections over the preceding six months by the US Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), Malaysia’s trade ministry and Nvidia had found no evidence of violations.

On 12th November 2026, Megaspeed said it had cooperated with BIS inspections and retained a US law firm to conduct a comprehensive census of its GPUs. These are the company’s accounts of its compliance work.

Three House committee chairmen have also asked Huang about his interactions with Megaspeed executive Alice Huang.

Nvidia’s board announced an independent investigation on 8th November, as Bored Node reported. Separately, Nvidia announced Huang’s immediate resignation on 12th November, naming Colette Kress interim chief executive.

Novagate’s Current Nvidia Pitch

Novagate’s current website claims more than 50,000 GPUs and advertises GB300 NVL72 and B300 systems. It displays Nvidia and Aivres among its ecosystem partners, alongside Gigabyte, Singtel, Dell and Rafay.

A separate panel reads “NVIDIA CLOUD PARTNER” and “NCP ALIGNED”. These are Novagate’s own claims.

Its recruitment listings go beyond the logos. Posted under Novagate Cloud Pte. Ltd. on MyCareersFuture, Singapore’s government jobs portal, they describe selling capacity, securing data centre space and tracking the equipment.

The GPU and Asset Manager advert of 4th November asks for records supporting compliance requirements related to “NVIDIA, BIS, customs, export controls, customers, lenders, insurers”.

The manager would track GPUs at manufacturers, in transit, in warehouses and in data centres. The records must demonstrate the equipment’s custody and location history.

A data centre partnerships advert dated 6th November seeks capacity across Southeast Asia, including facilities suitable for “NVIDIA HGX and GB300 infrastructure”.

The Senior Business Development listing of 26th October describes negotiating minimum commitments, prepayments, payment terms and capacity reservations. It requires written and spoken English and Chinese.

Its procurement advert of 4th November covers servers, GPUs and networking equipment, customs clearance and import and export documents. Again, Mandarin is an advantage for communicating with Chinese suppliers and regional partners.

The Regional Compliance Manager advert of 16th October also matters. It calls for customer checks, verification of end users and intended uses, and reviews of fund flows against export controls and sanctions. Compliance is an explicit part of the operation Novagate is recruiting to run.

How Nvidia Chips Reached Novagate

Novagate does not say who supplies its GPUs. Culper's report from this May says trade records show $142 million of shipments from Giga Computing, Gigabyte Technology's server business, to Novagate Cloud Sdn Bhd, which it describes as Novagate's Malaysian company. They included $140 million of servers containing Nvidia's Blackwell Ultra B300 and H200 chips, received in January and February 2026.

Assuming the records are straight, those were Nvidia chips inside Gigabyte servers, arriving through a server maker.

What US Law Allows

US rules have required a Commerce Department licence to export advanced AI chips to China since 7th October 2022, with updated rules in October 2023.

A rule published on 15th January 2026 changed the review for exports to China of Nvidia's H200 and less advanced chips from a presumption of denial to case-by-case review. The exporter must certify that US supply is sufficient, that production for China will not divert foundry capacity from US customers, that the recipient has sufficient security procedures, and that the chips are tested independently in the US.

That case-by-case review covers the H200 and less advanced chips only. Separately, the chairman of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party has called access to chips in data centres outside China a loophole.

What The Records Connect

The trail begins with a company website that retained Megaspeed’s name and closely matched its code. It continues with Novagate presenting itself as an “NCP aligned” Nvidia cloud provider and recruiting staff to sell GPU capacity, secure facilities and maintain equipment records involving Nvidia and BIS.

Nvidia appears in both the inherited website wording and Novagate’s current commercial presentation. Its job postings describe responsibilities extending from equipment procurement to customer commitments and compliance. Not to forget, Chinese/Mandarin accounts for brownie points for candidates applying.

This sits alongside Nvidia’s stated exclusion from China’s data centre compute market and the ongoing investigation into Megaspeed. Those facts explain why Novagate’s claims warrant attention.

Congress Presses For Answers

On 13th October 2025, Senator Tom Cotton asked Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to investigate Megaspeed, including its ownership, affiliations and ties to US chip companies.

A letter dated 11th November 2026 from Senators Elizabeth Warren and Chris Coons asked Lutnick and other administration officials to preserve records, including documents concerning proposed additions of Megaspeed and related entities to the Entity List.

No general US rule bars a company outside China from renting computing time on Nvidia GPUs to Chinese customers; limits apply mainly through licence conditions and listed parties. The Remote Access Security Act, referred to the Senate Banking Committee on 13th January 2026, would extend export controls to such access.
