Nscale raised $155 million in Series A funding in December 2024, followed by a $1.1 billion Series B announced on September 25, 2025, and a $433 million Pre-Series C SAFE announced on October 1, 2025. On March 9, 2026, it announced a $2 billion Series C that valued the company at $14.6 billion. Nscale is headquartered in London and operates globally, with infrastructure development across Europe, North America and Asia.
