Coreweave: The Cloud Ai Hyperscaler

AI Computing As A ServiceAI is becoming increasingly important in almost every business, with progressively more powerful models, including very efficient, cheap, and open-source ones like DeepSeek.However, this need for computation linked to AI can be highly variable, making it rational for most users to depend on cloud services to provide it instead of directly owning the required chips and data centers. The same can be true for other compute-heavy tasks, like special effects generations.One solution to access such cloud services is to rely on the big cloud providers, like Amazon’s AWS (AMZN -2.02%), Google Cloud (GOOGL -0.9%), or Microsoft’s Azure(MSFT -0.69%).Another option is to go directly to an AI-focused cloud provider, with infrastructure entirely dedicated to the type of computing hardware required by AI calculations.One of the largest providers of this kind is CoreWeave, which has been piling up GPUs since 2017. CoreWeave is now looking at filing for an IPO raising $4B, which would bring its valuation to $35B.So investors might want to know more about the company and how it is positioned to benefit from the AI boom, even while incertitude piles up on the future of the industry regarding the computation power truly needed.History of CoreWeaveCoreWeave is a newcomer in the cloud computing industry, having been founded in 2017. It initially specialized in computing for the cryptocurrency industry with GPUs (Graphics Processing Unit).GPUs are initially chips designed for graphic calculation, often for 3D video games. They are dedicated to performing thousands of simple calculations in parallel, instead of a few complex ones at a time, like processors (CPUs).As it turned out, GPUs were a perfect design for the type of calculation required for cryptocurrency mining, and also for AI using neural networks, resulting in explosive growth and leadership in AI hardware for GPU specialist Nvidia (NVDA -7.18%).(You can read more about the investment case for Nvidia in our dedicated report).Then, in 2019, it moved on to a more generalized cloud offer, still specialized in GPU-based calculation.The early acquisition of a massive amount of GPUs by CoreWeave made it a key partner for AI startups looking for extra computing power.“People were still able to access GPUs last year, but when it became extremely tight, all of a sudden it was like, where do we get these things?AI companies that were using CoreWeave spread the word to VCs, he added, who suddenly saw a gold mine: “They said, ‘Why aren’t we speaking to these guys’?”Brannin McBee – CoreWeave co-founder chief strategy officerBeing at the right place at the time gave access to plenty of capital for growth to CoreWeave, with multiple fundraising rounds, up to a $1.1B one in 2024.“We believe CoreWeave has emerged as a key leader in building the mission-critical infrastructure foundation required to satisfy society's current and future demand for high-performance compute at scale to power the generative AI revolution.”Philippe Laffont, Founder Portfolio Manager of CoreWeave. CoreWeave OverviewSo far, the company has been mostly building its infrastructure in the US, with North America hosting most of its servers, and 3 installed in Europe.CoreWeave constantly monitors the “health” of its equipment, identifying potential issues proactively and reducing the risk of downtime or underperformance of its servers.In addition to the computing capacities, CoreWeave provides a high level of security to its servers, a critical question considering the question of data privacy and safety that surrounds AI, as well as the intense competition from US and overseas firms.While technically a competitor to Big Tech firms, CoreWeave can also be seen by them as a valued partner, with Microsoft, notably, being the company's biggest customer.In 2024, CoreWeave made around $2B in revenue and has a very aggressive growth target of $8B for 2025.A key center of AI cloud services provided by CoreWeave is flexibility

Hogyan Vonj Be Series A Befektetést?

Amikor egy startup Series A befektetést von be, esélyt kap arra, hogy a világmegváltó ötletből tényleg egy hosszútávon nyereséges vállalkozást faragjon. Ahhoz, hogy alapítóként minél felkészültebben állhass a befektetők elé, hozunk pár tippet.Az egyik legnagyobb mérföldkő egy startup életében, amikor a seed fázist követően sikerül bevonnia egy Series A befektetést. Ekkor adódik meg ugyanis az esély arra, hogy a világmegváltó ötletből tényleg egy hosszútávon működőképes és nyereséges vállalkozás legyen.Ekkorra van már a startupnak jó eséllyel egy piaci validáción átesett terméke vagy szolgáltatása, akár néhány alkalmazottja is, és ahhoz keresi a forrást, hogy azt még tovább fejlessze, bővítse a csapatát, miközben kilép a piacra, és elkezd érdemben bevételt termelni.Ennek megfelelően egy Series A befektetés nagyságrendekkel nagyobb, mint az azt megelőző pre-seed és seed finanszírozás összege. Csak hogy két idei példával érzékeltessük: amíg a magyar edtech AI-startup, a Voovo pre-seed befektetésként 500 ezer dollárt (közel 460 ezer eurót) vont be, addig az úgyszint magyar, BNPL (buy now, pay later) PastPay ennek több mint 260-szorosát, 12 millió eurós dealt ütött nyélbe Series A befektetésként.Mindezek miatt kiváltképp fontos, hogy az alapítók felkészülten álljanak azon kockázatitőke-befektetők elé, akiktől a Series A kört várják. A Sifted cikke alapján ehhez adunk pár tippet.A nagy képet nézd!Amíg egy pre-seed vagy seed fázisban még a jó ötletet, illetve a motivált alapítókat és csapatot keresi mindenekelőtt a befektető, a Series A befektetéshez ez nem elég. Itt a befektető már konkrétabban látni akarja, hogy hosszú távon hogyan lesz neki nyeresége abból, ha a bizalmát és a tőkéjét beléd helyezi.Ezért nem egy-kettő, hanem jóval több lépéssel előrébb érdemes gondolkodnod, és bemutatnod a befektetőnek, hogy a vállalkozásod hogyan lesz képes növekedni, milyen úton lesz nyereséges, akár odáig, hogy hogyan fog eljutni a tőzsdei bevezetésig.Tehát ne csak azt vázold fel, hogy az aktuálisan bevonni kívánt tőkét hogyan használnád fel, hanem azt is, hogy milyen utat fog bejárni a vállalkozásod hosszabb távon.Hozz idősoros adatokat, és támaszd alá velük a sztoridat!Ahhoz, hogy ezt a jövőt hitelesen fel tudd vázolni, nem árt, ha vannak a kezedben ezt alátámasztó adatok
