CoreWeave co-founder and CEO Michael Intrator\u2019s net worth has skyrocketed to about $10 billion in the three months since the AI firm went public, Bloomberg reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

His company\u2019s debut was both the biggest tech IPO so far of 2025 \u2013\u00a0 raising $1.5 billion \u2013\u00a0 and also somewhat of a clunker: its founders had reportedly hoped to raise a lot more \u2013 up to $4 billion \u2013 and had to skinny their ambitions.<\/p>\n

CoreWeave still feels a bit like both a success and a house of cards. It offers AI training and inference cloud services built upon a growing stockpile of Nvidia GPUs. One of its investors is Nvidia, which helps it obtain the precious, short-in-supply chips.\u00a0<\/p>\n

CoreWeave has both Microsoft and OpenAI as customers \u2013 the latter signed a deal to buy $12 billion worth of services and still has about $11 billion worth to buy.<\/a> And Nvidia increased its stake<\/a> after the IPO, the company disclosed.<\/p>\n

But CoreWeave borrows money against the GPUs to pay for them \u2013 and its IPO wasn\u2019t big enough to get it out of that cycle. It\u2019s got about $8.8 billion worth of debt as of March, it disclosed<\/a>, with interest rates as high as 15%. Even though it brought in almost $1 billion in revenue in Q1 alone ($985 million), it recorded a net loss of about $315 million.<\/p>\n

That has not scared away investors who remain eager for ways to make money on AI. CoreWeave\u2019s stock has soared almost 300% since its March IPO, raising Intrator\u2019s net worth to above $10 billion, Bloomberg calculates.<\/p>\n

But the wildest part of Intrator\u2019s history, as well as that of his co-founders Brian Venturo and Brannin McBee, is that the whole thing started out as a make-money-quick, crypto mining enterprise when their previous company, a hedge fund, failed. <\/p>\n

The business partners went from a closet full of GPUs to thousands of them in a New Jersey warehouse, to an AI training experiment with an open source LLM group, EleutherAI, Venturo previously told TechCrunch.<\/p>\n

Today, the company is servicing the biggest LLM players on the planet, reportedly seeking to buy its competitor<\/a> Core Scientific, and the founders are billionaires. And, as we previously reported, it\u2019s not all paper money. All three founders pocketed over $150 million apiece by cashing out of shares ahead of the IPO.<\/p>\n

CoreWeave remains a symbol of the AI industry in 2025: Massive, fast-growing revenue, investor enthusiasm built on an insatiable need for more resources. <\/p>\n

Coreweave declined additional comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
