"Crusoe, which calls itself "the AI Factory Company," is valued at over $10 billion in this latest $1.4 billion funding round. The company has become a leader in AI infrastructure through an approach that combines energy sourcing, AI-optimized data center construction, and its own cloud. The new funding round, announced on Friday, includes a huge list of investors, such as Valor Equity Partners, Mubadala Capital, and Nvidia."
"I was initially surprised, but the Philadelphia Eagles running back has already made several tech, AI, and venture capital investments.

The NFL star has said he lives off endorsement income and invests most of his direct football earnings."
