CoreWeave seeks $8 billion valuation in minority stake sale

Specialized cloud provider CoreWeave is exploring a minority stake sale that values the company at as much as over $8 billion, citing people with knowledge of the matter.

The Roseland, New Jersey-based company is working with an adviser as it looks for buyers for a roughly 10% equity stake at a valuation of between $5 billion and $8 billion, adding the terms have not been finalized yet.

CoreWeave is expected to achieve about $1.5 billion in revenue in 2024, the report added, citing a source.

Nvidia-backed CoreWeave has seen a boost from the generative AI boom thanks to its purpose-built cloud infrastructure at scale. It has partnerships with AI startups and cloud providers, which it also competes with, to build clusters to power AI workload.

CoreWeave has unique access to the most advanced Nvidia chips that are in short supply giving it an edge over traditional cloud providers like Microsoft, Amazon.com and Google, which are facing supply restraints while working on developing their own chips. US News
