Notes
Finnish full-stack AI cloud - founded 2020 as DataCrunch, renamed Verda in late 2025 - that owns its own data centres in Finland, runs them on renewable power and sells GPU capacity plus the software platform on top. An NVIDIA Preferred Partner and one of the first to deploy Vera Rubin NVL72 at scale, with earliest deployments in H2 2026 across Europe, the US and APAC and capacity above 100,000 GPUs planned through 2027; says it will have more than 250 MW in operation in 2027, from a base live in Finland today. Reached a $165M annualised revenue run rate in July 2026 and has raised more than $450M in total. The Series B post-money is not disclosed beyond "more than $1B", so the mark here is that floor rather than a stated figure.
