Around 689 people on the team.
Nscale, a UK provider of sovereign hyperscale AI infrastructure running its own data centers, has raised $3,688M across four rounds and carries a network centrality score of 63. Its backers combine strategic compute and hardware players (NVIDIA, Dell, Nokia) with investment capital from Point72, Aker ASA, and Jane Street. Through shared investors it connects most closely to Anthropic (3) and Databricks (3), and then to OpenAI (2), Lambda (2), Figure AI (2), Wayve (2), and VAST Data (2), placing it in a capital cluster centered on frontier AI labs and compute infrastructure rather than consumer applications. The 689-person team is concentrated in London (25%) and Los Gatos (10%).
