Founding Story
Brannin McBee co-founded CoreWeave in 2017. Working alongside his co-founders, he helped build the company's initial business model: buying massive amounts of cheap GPUs to mine Ethereum. When the crypto market crashed in 2018, he was instrumental in pivoting the massive hardware infrastructure toward rendering and eventually AI computing, entirely reinventing the company.
