Summary

The CoreWeave IPO, which priced on March 27, 2025, at $40.00 per share and began trading on Nasdaq on March 28, 2025, under the ticker "CRWV," marked a significant milestone as the first pure-play AI IPO and the largest U.S. tech debut since 2021. This event highlighted CoreWeave's position as a burgeoning "neocloud" provider specializing in GPU infrastructure for AI developers and enterprises, a market with strong demand. Strategic investments, notably from Nvidia, which also anchored the IPO with a $250 million order, underscore CoreWeave's role in competing with major cloud providers like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft by offering specialized AI infrastructure. CoreWeave, founded in 2017 and headquartered in Livingston, New Jersey, operates its own data centers in the US and Europe, including a $1.6 billion supercomputer data center for Nvidia in Plano, Texas, described by Nvidia as the world's fastest AI supercomputer.
