Fluidstack confirmed it raised $830 million in a Series A funding round at a $7.5 billion valuation, providing the AI infrastructure startup with fresh capital to accelerate its global data center expansion.
The round closed in January and was led by Situational Awareness, the AI focused investment firm founded by former OpenAI researcher Leopold Aschenbrenner. Fluidstack did not identify the other participating investors, describing them only as leading global backers.
Fluidstack said the funding would support its goal of becoming the fastest company to deploy hundreds of gigawatts of computing capacity for frontier AI developers. The company acquires power, designs and constructs data centers, and operates the computing infrastructure used by AI labs.
The company claims its technology can deliver gigawatts of capacity within six months, compared with the 18 to 24 months typically required by the industry. Its website lists Anthropic, Meta, Nvidia, AMI and Cognition among the companies connected to its infrastructure platform.
Fluidstack’s largest announced project is its partnership with Anthropic, which selected the company to help build $50 billion of computing infrastructure across the United States.
