Gate News 消息,3 月 10 日,英国 AI 算力基础设施公司 Nscale 宣布完成 20 亿美元 C 轮融资,估值 146 亿美元,公司称这是欧洲历史上规模最大的 C 轮。本轮由挪威能源集团 Aker ASA 和投资公司 8090 Industries 领投,Nvidia、Dell、Nokia、Citadel、Jane Street、Point72、Lenovo、Astra Capital Management 和 Linden Advisors 参投,高盛和摩根大通担任配售代理。本轮金额包含去年 10 月 4.33 亿美元的 pre-Series C SAFE。
Nscale 同时宣布三名新董事加入董事会:Meta 前首席运营官 Sheryl Sandberg(现为 Sandberg Bernthal Venture Partners 联合创始人)、Meta 前全球事务总裁及英国前副首相 Nick Clegg(现为 Hiro Capital 普通合伙人),以及 Yahoo 前总裁 Susan Decker(现任 Berkshire Hathaway 等公司董事)。
Nscale 2024 年成立,在英国、美国、挪威、葡萄牙和冰岛运营数据中心,提供从 GPU 算力、网络到数据服务和编排软件的垂直整合 AI 基础设施。去年夏天与 Aker 和 OpenAI 合作在挪威北极圈附近建设 Stargate 品牌数据中心,去年 10 月与 Microsoft 达成价值 140 亿美元的扩展合作。
但融资消息发布同日,一项调查发现 Nscale 去年 1 月宣布的英国旗舰项目进展存疑。该项目位于伦敦北郊 Loughton,被定位为「英国最大主权 AI 数据中心」,是 Nscale 对英 25 亿美元投资承诺的一部分,原计划 2026 年第四季度投入运营。但记者今年 2 月实地走访时,该地块仍被一家脚手架公司用作堆场。Nscale 在媒体问询启动后才于 2 月底提交了规划申请,土地登记记录显示其尚未被登记为地块所有者。英国科学、创新与技术部表示,Nscale 25 亿美元的英国投资承诺「并非正式合同,而是投入资本的意向」,且政府「未在积极审计这些承诺」。Nscale 2025 年度财报已逾期未提交。
