TOP 10 – NEOCLOUDS

CEO: CHASE LOCHMILLER FOUNDED: 2018 HQ LOCATION: DENVER, US

Crusoe entered the market with a radically contrarian concept: harnessing stranded and flared natural gas( energy that would otherwise be wasted and emit greenhouse gases) to power modular computing infrastructure directly at the wellhead. Today, that energy-first strategy has evolved into a massive, verticallyintegrated AI cloud enterprise. Crusoe designs its own liquid-cooled data centre hardware, operates bespoke virtualisation software and manages an expansive multi-gigawatt pipeline of clean energy computing facilities across North America and Europe. Backed by more than US $ 13bn in institutional capital from investors including Goldman Sachs and Fidelity, Crusoe has decoupled GPU deployment from legacy power grid constraints. By positioning direct energy access and sustainability at the core of its operational model, Crusoe has proven that solving power bottlenecks is the ultimate competitive advantage in the race for scalable supercomputing.
