## Company

- Accelerators: Founders Inc Booth 34 [source](https://f.inc/portfolio)
- Total raised: $450M (estimated: Multiple press reports (Ins7ghts/7wdata, Seedtable, Public Technologies) citing 'total funding of over $450 million across equity and debt' as of the Sept 2026 Series B; aggregator figure, not a single primary filing.) [source](https://www.publicnow.com/view/tesi-continues-to-back-verda-as-the-company-reaches-unicorn-status)
- Last round: series-b, $189M, 2026-09-22, led by Emergence Capital (confirmed) [source](https://vestbee.com/blog/articles/verda-raises-189m-series-b-becomes-europes-latest-ai-infrastructure-unicorn)
- Investors: Emergence Capital, Lifeline Ventures, Supermicro, MUFG Innovation Partners, Tesi (Finnish Industry Investment), Varma Mutual Pension Insurance Company, byFounders, 6 Degrees Capital, Skaala, J12 Ventures, Nordea, Armada Credit Partners, Nordic Investment Bank
- Revenue: $165M (estimated: Company-stated ARR figure reported by multiple press outlets (crypt0snews, deeptechfinland.fi, theflyingpost.com) around the Sept 2026 Series B announcement; not a filed financial statement.) [source](https://deeptechfinland.fi/verda) ARR, 2026-07

Verda is the rebrand of DataCrunch (Helsinki, Finland-based GPU cloud, founded ~2018-2020 by Ruben Bryon). Raised a $64M Series A (2025-09, equity+debt; equity leads byFounders/Skaala/Varma/Tesi, debt led by Nordea/Armada Credit Partners), then further rounds in 2026 (~$117M April 2026 led by Lifeline Ventures, and reports of a ~$100M June 2026 raise) that press treats as building toward the $189M Series B announced 2026-09-22 led by Emergence Capital, crossing a $1B+ valuation (unicorn status). No evidence of YC or other accelerator participation despite DataCrunch's HN/YC-forum visibility as a cheap GPU-cloud product.

## Caveats

- Verda is the renamed DataCrunch; the locations page lists only FIN-01, FIN-02, FIN-03 (all Helsinki, Finland).
- NVMe block storage $0.20/GiB-month; a boot volume must be added (no included disk).
- Reserved discounts (2-25%) not encoded.
- Pay-as-you-go is charged in pre-paid 10-minute increments; if the instance is terminated early the unused part of the block is refunded in the next billing period (effective granularity not published; min_billed_seconds 60 remains an assumption).
- A shut-down (stopped) instance keeps billing compute at the full hourly rate; only Delete stops the instance charge. Volumes not selected for deletion keep billing at $0.20/GiB-month, including OS volumes of evicted spot instances (default keep_detached) and volumes in trash (restore charged at PAYG for the deleted time).
- Confidential CPU instances (AMD SEV-SNP, GA Aug 2026) use the same shapes as CPU nodes at +2% ($0.01224 per vCPU-h incl. 4 GB RAM; CPU.4V.16G.CC $0.04896/h, spot $0.01958/h). Not a separate mode because it is never cheaper than on-demand-cpu.
- Account quotas on GPUs, spot GPUs, total vCPUs, NVMe storage, storage item count and projects; defaults unpublished, raised via console request (~1 business day). API: 500 requests/min per project, 60 requests/min per endpoint (<=60 instance creations/min).

## How this provider charges


GPU cloud. Added by the missing-providers audit (single-H100 SKUs).

| Regime | When it applies | How billed | Numbers | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| On-demand | default | per GPU-hour | 1x H100 SXM5 $3.56 (30 CPU/120 GB), H200 $4.64, A100 80GB $1.80 | https://verda.com/pricing |
| Spot | spot | per GPU-hour | H100 $1.78, H200 $2.32 | https://verda.com/pricing |
| Reserved | 1m..2y | discount on on-demand | 2%..25% | https://verda.com/pricing |
| Storage | always | per GiB-month | $0.20 | https://verda.com/pricing |

## Gotchas
- No included disk: boot volume billed at $0.20/GiB-month.

## Worked example
1x H100: 250 h x $3.56 = $890 (+100 GiB x $0.20 = $20).
