Nscale Raises $2 Billion in Series C Valuation Drive for Global AI Infrastructure
UK-based AI infrastructure startup Nscale raised $2 billion in a Series C at a $14.6 billion valuation, with Nvidia among lead investors alongside Aker ASA and 8090 Industries and other backers; the funds will accelerate a vertically integrated AI infrastructure buildout—GPU compute, networking, data services and orchestration—across Europe, North America and Asia, as the company expands data centers in the UK, U.S., Norway, Portugal and Iceland and eyes an IPO, while pursuing partnerships with Microsoft and OpenAI.
