Verda said the round values the business at more than $1 billion, marking another European unicorn print, and that total funding now exceeds $450 million.<\/p>\n<p>Participants named in the announcement include MUFG Innovation Partners, Supermicro, Varma, Lifeline Ventures, 6DC, byFounders, and Tesi. Company materials cited a $165 million annualized revenue run rate in July and said proceeds will support a multiplication of compute capacity for its AI cloud platform.<\/p>\n<p>For allocators tracking European AI infrastructure equities adjacent to neocloud spend, the disclosed $189 million ticket, >$1 billion valuation, >$450 million cumulative funding, and July ARR run-rate are the hard marks.
