Congratulations to CoreWeave on its listing on the Nasdaq today!   As CoreWeave’s first institutional investor, we’ve had the opportunity to support the company through several stages of growth. Michael Intrator, Brian Venturo, Brannin McBee and the broader CoreWeave team have worked relentlessly to establish the company as a key provider of AI infrastructure and specialized cloud services – and today’s IPO represents an important milestone in that journey.   Our Senior Managing Partner Dave Snyderman spoke with CNBC on CoreWeave's listing and Magnetar's conviction in the company and broader AI ecosystem.

Generative AI and large language models are reshaping industries—but traditional data centers weren’t designed to handle their extraordinary computational demands. Our latest #whitepaper, authored by the Magnetar Ventures team, dives deep into the innovations necessary to transform data centers and the expertise required to support the burgeoning AI economy. But building and scaling AI-specific data centers demand more than operational know-how—it requires a nuanced understanding of the market’s challenges and growth opportunities. Our team argues that only informed investors who grasp these complexities will be able to fully capitalize on this transformative shift.
