Verda (formerly DataCrunch)

Verda is a Helsinki-based European neocloud that rebranded from DataCrunch in November 2025 as it pivoted from a niche renewable-powered GPU rental shop into a full-stack AI cloud pitching itself as Europe's answer to CoreWeave. Founded in 2020 by Ruben Bryon, the company runs Nordic datacenters powered by hydro and wind and has climbed the Nvidia stack from H100 into H200, B200, B300, and GB300 NVL72 racks, becoming an Nvidia Preferred Partner in 2025.\n\nThe operator is smaller than the US mega-neoclouds but has scaled quickly on the back of European AI sovereignty demand and inference workloads. It disclosed a $100 million revenue run rate in June 2026 after roughly 10x growth over eighteen months, and total disclosed funding reached about $155 million after a July 2026 tranche that pulled in the Nordic Investment Bank. Named customers skew toward inference-heavy AI product companies (Magnific, ExpressVPN confidential compute) and robotics foundation-model work (1X), rather than hyperscaler overflow.\n\nVerda publishes on-demand hourly rates directly, an unusually transparent posture for the neocloud tier: H100 at $3.25 per hour, H200 at $4.00, B200 at $6.11, and GB300 at $8.62 on-demand, with spot pricing at roughly half. It positions on European ownership, renewable power, and a Nordic buildout centered on a next-generation AI hub in Sundsvall, Sweden alongside existing Finnish capacity.
