Culture Overview

What it's really like to work at CoreWeave

Founded in 2017 by Michael Intrator, Brian Venturo, and Brannin McBee, CoreWeave is a GPU cloud infrastructure company backed by NVIDIA ($2B investment in Jan 2026). The culture is engineering-driven and fast-paced, with teams shipping quickly across 32 data centers housing 250,000+ GPUs. Now public on NASDAQ (CRWV) with stock up 200%+ since IPO, the company offers strong equity upside but expects a many-hats mentality as processes catch up to hypergrowth.
