In 2018, Crusoe was founded with a revolutionary insight: the massive computing power needed for the future didn't have to come at the expense of our climate. Co-founders Chase Lochmiller and Cully Cavness pioneered an energy-first approach, initially converting wasted natural gas from oil fields into power for computing operations. This innovative beginning evolved into a vertically integrated AI infrastructure company that would fundamentally reshape how the world thinks about the intersection of energy and computing.
Today, Crusoe has transformed from those early bitcoin mining roots into a leader in sustainable AI infrastructure. The company designs, builds, and operates purpose-built data centers and a cloud platform powered by clean energy sources including wind, solar, geothermal, and hydropower. With gigawatt-scale data center campuses and partnerships with industry leaders like NVIDIA and AMD, Crusoe enables organizations to build ambitious AI solutions without sacrificing scale, speed, or sustainability. Their mission to accelerate the abundance of both energy and intelligence has attracted billions in funding and established them as a critical player in the AI revolution.
