Crusoe

Crusoe is a vertically integrated AI infrastructure company founded in 2018. It designs, builds and operates purpose-built data centers and a cloud platform powered by clean energy, allowing organisations to develop AI systems without compromising on scale, speed or sustainability. The firm's approach to computing is "energy-first", a concept pioneered by its co-founders, Chase Lochmiller and Cully Cavness.

The company's two main offerings are gigawatt-scale data center campuses - designed, built and operated in-house and run on wind, solar, geothermal and hydropower - and a cloud platform that draws on the same clean energy sources. The business began by converting wasted natural gas from oil fields into computing power, an origin that continues to shape its focus on energy systems as a first-order constraint on high-performance computing.

Crusoe works across the artificial intelligence, energy, cloud computing and clean energy sectors, and counts NVIDIA and AMD among its industry partners. The company has raised billions in funding to date. Its stated mission is to accelerate the abundance of both energy and intelligence.
