About CoreWeave, Inc.
CoreWeave is a cloud provider focused on AI infrastructure, and has quickly become an integral vendor for the largest tech companies including Microsoft ($MSFT) and Meta ($META). The company has saw strong revenue growth, surging from US$15.8 million in 2022 to US$1.92 billion in 2024, driven by increased demand in the AI market.
However, despite this rapid revenue growth, CoreWeave reported a significant net loss of $863.4 million in 2024. This loss is attributed to substantial investments in infrastructure and technology, necessary to support the company's growth and meet the demands of its customers.
A significant portion of CoreWeave's revenue, approximately 62% in 2024, is derived from Microsoft. This customer concentration poses a substantial risk, as the loss of this key client could significantly impact the company's financial performance. CoreWeave also faces competition from major cloud providers like Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure, which could affect its market position and growth trajectory.
CoreWeave's infrastructure heavily relies on Nvidia GPUs, and Nvidia also holds a 6% equity stake in the company. This dependence on Nvidia creates a potential vulnerability, as any disruptions in Nvidia's supply chain or technological advancements could affect CoreWeave's operations.
Funds raised from the IPO are intended for working capital and debt repayment, aiming to strengthen the company's financial position. CoreWeave intends to use these funds to support its continued growth and to manage its substantial debt load. Investors should carefully consider the company's rapid growth, significant net losses, customer concentration risk and high debt levels.
Who owns CoreWeave, Inc.?
The current CEO and co-founder of CoreWeave is Michael Intrator. Intrator will control about 37% of the voting power after the offering, as disclosed in the filing. The company will be largely held by Intrator and Brannin McBee (CDO) with 19%, and Chief Strategy Officer Brian Venturo with 25%.
OpenAI is listed within the filing to receive US$350 million worth of CoreWeave stock.
