Verda (Finland) raises $189M in Series B
Finnish startup Verda has raised $189 million in Series B funding to expand its data center and compute infrastructure business. The company aims to provide flexible, on-demand capacity for AI and agentic workloads while maintaining a lower carbon footprint.
Why it matters
As AI demand surges, companies like Verda are attempting to solve the bottleneck of physical infrastructure procurement and energy-efficient scaling.
Verda became Europe’s latest unicorn today, raising $189 million in new funding. The oversubscribed Series B was led by Emergence Capital, with MUFG Innovation Partners, Supermicro, Varma Mutual Pension Insurance Company, Lifeline Ventures, 6 Degrees Capital (6DC), byFounders, Tesi (Finnish Industry Investment Ltd), and a group of angel investors including Ola Tørudbakken and Mark Saroufim participating. That brings our total funding to date to over $450 million across equity and debt.
"There's a window right now to build one of the defining compute companies of this generation, and to do so from Europe. It won't be open for long." — Ruben Bryon, founder and CEO
