Crusoe, the Denver-based AI data center startup, announced it has raised $1.38 billion in an oversubscribed Series E funding round at a valuation of approximately $10 billion. The round is being co-led by Valor Equity Partners and Mubadala Capital, with participation from major investors including Nvidia, Fidelity Management, and Founders Fund.
