About the company

Crusoe builds and runs data centers for artificial intelligence, placing them near cheap or otherwise wasted energy and handling everything from the power supply to the cloud software. It developed the flagship campus in Abilene, Texas, for Stargate, the AI infrastructure project backed by OpenAI and Oracle. AI companies rent its GPU servers on demand or under longer contracts through Crusoe Cloud to train and run their models, while larger customers lease entire campuses that Crusoe develops and operates for them. The company was founded in 2018, when it began running computers at oil fields on natural gas that would otherwise have been burned off, and it is based in Denver.

Simplify Jobs

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Room to grow: Crusoe listed 358 open roles in October 2026, from cloud engineering to factory work.
  • Equity has a path to cash: Crusoe was meeting IPO banks, including Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan, in August 2026.
  • Steady work ahead: Crusoe reported over $140 billion in signed customer contracts in September 2026.

What critics are saying

  • Projects aren't safe until built: Google asked Crusoe to leave a 1.8-gigawatt Wyoming campus, then took over in July 2026.
  • The hard part is ahead: only 1 of the 6-plus gigawatts Crusoe had signed was running in September 2026.
  • Less upside for new hires: Crusoe's valuation hit $30.9 billion in September 2026, triple its October 2025 level.

What makes Crusoe unique

  • It makes its own electrical gear instead of waiting on suppliers: two Tulsa factories have built over 2,500 switchboards.
  • Its own MemoryAlloy software lets GPUs share memory, so AI answers start up to 9.9 times faster in Crusoe's tests.
  • Its power-ready land is in demand: Microsoft leased 900 megawatts at Abilene in March 2026 after OpenAI and Oracle passed.

In June, Crusoe reported 4.9 GW of contracted AI infrastructure capacity across its data centre projects and cloud platform, with a development pipeline exceeding 40 GW. Crusoe opened a 400,000-square-foot manufacturing plant in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Monday.
