Gcore has secured $60 million in Series A funding from institutional and strategic investors. Led by Wargaming, and with participation from Constructor Capital and Han River Partners, this marks the company’s first external capital raise since its inception more than 10 years ago.
The funds will be strategically invested in Gcore’s technology and platform, including AI servers powered by NVIDIA GPUs, to drive AI-led innovations. This investment underscores Gcore’s commitment to delivering advanced edge AI solutions that enhance cloud resource efficiency and ensure data sovereignty.

Gcore serves customers across diverse industries, including media and entertainment, gaming, technology, financial services, and retail.
Built for the edge and addressing a $200bn+ market opportunity, Gcore’s cloud infrastructure powers both the training of large language models (LLMs) and the inference of AI applications at the edge. This is enabled by Gcore’s global network of over 180 edge nodes across six continents, including 25+ cloud locations, with a total network capacity exceeding 200 Tbps.
