They were using <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/07\/technology\/trump-crypto-summit.html\" title=\"\">Bitcoin<\/a> to bet on pool games and fantasy football and were captivated by its wild swings in price.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">They soon decided to create more <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2022\/03\/18\/technology\/cryptocurrency-crypto-guide.html\" title=\"\">digital currencies<\/a> through a process called \u201cmining,\u201d which requires a lot of computing power. So they logged on to Amazon and ordered two Nvidia graphics processing units, or GPUs, powerful chips that can run calculations and analyze enormous amounts of data. They then stockpiled the components, filling up a garage and a warehouse.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In 2017, Mr. Intrator, Mr. Venturo and Mr. McBee started the company Atlantic Crypto to mine cryptocurrencies. When crypto prices cratered two years later, they renamed the business CoreWeave and raised money to buy as many GPUs from distressed crypto miners as possible. Their bet: that the chips would eventually feed the development of artificial intelligence, whose creation also requires substantial computing power.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">They were right. When OpenAI <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/12\/10\/technology\/ai-chat-bot-chatgpt.html\" title=\"\">released the ChatGPT<\/a> chatbot in 2022 and unleashed an A.I. frenzy, the demand for computing power exploded \u2014 and CoreWeave was in the sweet spot.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe assumed this was going to happen,\u201d Mr. Intrator, 55, CoreWeave\u2019s chief executive, said in a 2023 interview with The New York Times. \u201cWe were well positioned for this transition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">CoreWeave is now set to find out whether it is in the sweet spot again \u2014 this time with Wall Street. This month, the tech company filed <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sec.gov\/Archives\/edgar\/data\/1769628\/000119312525044231\/d899798ds1.htm#toc899798_16\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">paperwork<\/a> for a public listing. If its initial public offering of stock goes as planned, it will be the first prominent A.I. start-up to reach the stock market. And it would test investor appetite at a time when the market has <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/13\/business\/sp-500-stocks-market-correction.html\" title=\"\">slipped into a correction<\/a>, which could delay an offering.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Perhaps most important, CoreWeave\u2019s I.P.O. would give investors a direct taste of the A.I. boom. Unlike tech giants such as Nvidia and Google, which have many businesses, CoreWeave is known in industry parlance as a \u201cpure A.I. play\u201d because it has focused solely on A.I. chips and sells processing capacity to clients that want to build A.I. tools.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt would be the first really big tech I.P.O. to hit the markets this year and one that fits squarely into the A.I. narrative that everyone seems to want a piece of,\u201d said Brianne Lynch, the head of market insight at EquityZen, which helps private companies and their employees sell their stock.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">While CoreWeave is based far from Silicon Valley in Livingston, N.J., it has tech industry bona fides. Nvidia owns around 4 percent of the start-up and supplies most of its chips. Last week, CoreWeave also <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.prnewswire.com\/news-releases\/coreweave-announces-agreement-with-openai-to-deliver-ai-infrastructure-302397595.html?tc=eml_cleartime\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">announced a deal<\/a> to sell computing power to OpenAI worth up to $12 billion. As part of the agreement, OpenAI will take a $350 million stake in CoreWeave when it goes public.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The young company, which has raised $2.3 billion in venture capital and was last valued in the private markets <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.prnewswire.com\/news-releases\/coreweave-secures-1-1-billion-in-series-c-funding-to-drive-the-next-generation-of-cloud-computing-for-the-future-of-ai-302133328.html\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">at $19 billion<\/a>, is expected to go public this month at a valuation of about $35 billion, Ms. Lynch said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">CoreWeave has been growing rapidly, with revenue reaching $1.9 billion last year, compared with $229 million a year earlier, according to its financial filings. But it lost $863 million last year after spending nearly $1 billion to finance the building of new data centers, large facilities that house its A.I. chips.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">If CoreWeave\u2019s public offering goes well, other tech companies could be motivated to follow, potentially leading to an \u201cI.P.O. parade,\u201d said Mark Klein, the chief executive of SuRo Capital, a venture capital firm that has invested in CoreWeave. The company aims to raise about $4 billion in its public offering, he added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">CoreWeave declined to comment ahead of its I.P.O., and Nvidia declined to comment on its investment in the start-up. OpenAI also declined to comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Intrator and Mr. Venturo, who is 40, met in 2006 at a New York hedge fund, Natsource, where they both worked. They later created a hedge fund together before founding CoreWeave in 2017 alongside Mr. McBee, now 39. Mr. Intrator became chief executive, Mr. McBee became chief strategy officer and Mr. Venturo chief technology officer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The three men soon amassed Nvidia chips to mine cryptocurrencies. For a time, Mr. Intrator, Mr. Venturo and Mr. McBee stockpiled the chips in a downtown Manhattan office, but they became worried that the intense heat from the components might burn down their building. So they moved the chips to Mr. Venturo\u2019s grandfather\u2019s garage in New Jersey, and then to a warehouse.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">By 2018, CoreWeave was pitching investors on a plan to diversify from crypto and into high-end graphics, which need GPUs to render images, said Nic Carter, who invested in the company that year and now runs the crypto investment firm Castle Island Ventures.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThey had this whole plan to go to visual-effects conferences and hand out free credits,\u201d he said. \u201cThey were going to become the data center of choice for hobbyists and animation and movies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Intrator, Mr. Venturo and Mr. McBee approached the business by \u201ctrading GPUs like commodities\u201d and betting that they could repurpose the chips at the exact moment that crypto mining became unprofitable, Mr. Carter said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Until then, CoreWeave had to be scrappy. Unable to raise much venture capital, Mr. Intrator kept the start-up alive by gathering money from family offices and wealthy commodities traders he and his co-founders were friends with.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThis company could have easily gone out of business many times,\u201d Mr. Carter said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">CoreWeave\u2019s big break came in 2021 when the hedge fund Magnetar invested $50 million. Then OpenAI released ChatGPT, shocking people with how the chatbot could answer questions, generate essays and compose love poems.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Demand for CoreWeave\u2019s computing power skyrocketed. In the first five months of 2023, the company signed contracts with A.I. research labs and other customers totaling $7 billion, Mr. Intrator said in the interview that year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">That April, Nvidia invested $100 million in CoreWeave at a $2 billion valuation, on top of another $200 million from Magnetar. CoreWeave needed to build more data centers, so that August, it secured $2.3 billion in debt financing, using its chips as collateral. By last year, its valuation had risen to $19 billion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The company now has 32 data centers in the United States and Europe, according to its prospectus, and about 800 employees.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Last year, Mr. Venturo became the company\u2019s chief strategy officer and Mr. McBee the chief development officer. Along with Mr. Intrator, they have each sold more than $150 million of their CoreWeave stock, according to the company\u2019s prospectus.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Together, Mr. Intrator, Mr. Venturo and Mr. McBee own 30 percent of the company, with a special class of shares giving them around 80 percent of the voting power. CoreWeave\u2019s single largest shareholder is Magnetar, which has about a 25 percent stake.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">CoreWeave faces stiff competition from Amazon, Microsoft and Google, which also provide computing power. And its business is heavily dependent on a single customer \u2014 Microsoft, which generated 60 percent of CoreWeave\u2019s revenue last year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On a December <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9NtsnzRFJ_o&amp;ab_channel=Bg2Pod\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">podcast<\/a>, Satya Nadella, Microsoft\u2019s chief executive, called the company\u2019s contract with CoreWeave a \u201cone-time thing,\u201d spurred by a scarcity of A.I. chips after ChatGPT\u2019s release. Most of those contracts end in 2029, and Microsoft has invested billions of dollars building its own data centers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">(The Times has sued OpenAI and Microsoft, accusing them of copyright infringement of news content related to A.I. systems. OpenAI and Microsoft have denied those claims.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-7\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Last week, CoreWeave said it had agreed to <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.coreweave.com\/blog\/coreweave-and-weights-biases-to-join-forces?utm_content=326510983&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=linkedin&amp;hss_channel=lcp-36121341\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">buy Weights &amp; Biases<\/a>, an A.I. software start-up that helps companies manage A.I. tools, which could help diversify its customer base.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Even with CoreWeave on the cusp of a Wall Street debut, Mr. Carter said his conversations with Mr. Venturo and Mr. McBee revolved around the same topics as before: sports betting and crypto.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThey\u2019re still traders at heart,\u201d Mr. Carter said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/18\/technology\/coreweave-wall-street-ai-ipo.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2016, three New York commodities traders \u2014 Michael Intrator, Brian Venturo and Brannin McBee \u2014 fell in love with<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":13752,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[213,174,4397,3486,770,123,3646,218,2657,4396,4394,217,977,772,782,1046,4395,176],"class_list":["post-13751","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-technology","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-bitcoin-currency","tag-brannin","tag-brian","tag-computer-chips","tag-computers-and-the-internet","tag-coreweave","tag-data-centers","tag-initial-public-offerings","tag-mcbee","tag-michael-intrator","tag-microsoft-corp","tag-new-jersey","tag-nvidia-corporation","tag-start-ups","tag-venture-capital","tag-venturo","tag-virtual-currency"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>How CoreWeave Went From Crypto Mining to Wall Street\u2019s A.I.
