NEW YORK - CoreWeave (NASDAQ:CRWV), the $48.5 billion market cap AI infrastructure company, announced Tuesday the establishment of CoreWeave Ventures, a new initiative aimed at supporting founders and companies developing platforms and technologies for the AI ecosystem. According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains an impressive 74% gross profit margin despite current market challenges.
The program will provide investment resources, technical expertise, and computing power to help founders accelerate their market entry in response to growing demand for purpose-built AI infrastructure, tools, and applications. While CoreWeave’s stock has seen significant volatility, trading between $33.52 and $187 over the past 52 weeks, analysts project substantial revenue growth of 174% for fiscal year 2025.
"Our aim with CoreWeave Ventures is to give other audacious, like-minded founders the support they need to drive technical advancements and bring to market the next class of innovation," said Brannin McBee, Co-founder and Chief Development Officer at CoreWeave.
The ventures arm will offer various capital investment models, accelerated access to CoreWeave’s cloud platform, testing environments across performance clusters, product and go-to-market strategy insights, and opportunities for technical alignment through partnerships.
CoreWeave Ventures is already working with several companies, including Moonvalley, whose co-founder and CEO Naeem Talukdar stated that working with CoreWeave has enabled his company to "think bigger and move faster."
The initiative supports founders through direct capital investment, compute-for-equity transactions, technical collaboration, and go-to-market opportunities. Current portfolio companies range from foundational model developers building novel large language models to pioneers in vertical AI applications and infrastructure.
According to the press release statement, CoreWeave has operated a growing footprint of data centers across the US and Europe since 2017 and was recently recognized on the TIME100 most influential companies list and Forbes Cloud 100 ranking in 2024.

This acquisition is expected to enhance CoreWeave’s capabilities in AI reinforcement learning. In another development, multiple CoreWeave executives sold significant amounts of Class A common stock in early September, with Director Jack D. Cogen executing the largest transaction, selling over 1.1 million shares for approximately $104.3 million. Additionally, Magnetar Financial, CoreWeave’s largest shareholder, sold 915,339 shares worth $94.4 million after the expiration of the post-IPO lockup period.
In terms of analyst activity, Cantor Fitzgerald initiated coverage on CoreWeave with an Overweight rating and a price target of $116, citing a balance between AI market opportunities and execution risks. H.C. Wainwright upgraded CoreWeave’s stock rating from Neutral to Buy, setting a price target of $180, attributing recent selling pressure to early investor liquidation rather than issues with the company’s fundamentals. These developments provide a mixed picture for investors, with strategic acquisitions and positive analyst ratings contrasting with significant insider and shareholder stock sales.
