Abstract

This article focuses on Sheryl Sandberg’s recent appointment to the board of Nscale, a London-based data center developer specializing in "neoclouds," which rent computing capacity to artificial intelligence developers. Nscale, spun out of a cryptocurrency miner in 2024, has raised $2 billion from investors including Nvidia and Nokia, valuing the company at $14.6 billion, though its data center projects in Europe remain unfinalized and revenues minimal. CEO Josh Payne emphasizes Nscale’s control over its technology stack, including land, power, chips, and software, and the company recently announced a data center acquisition in West Virginia in partnership with Microsoft. Sandberg, who left her COO role at Meta Platforms Inc. in 2022, joined Nscale’s board to support scaling efforts but does not intend to take an operational role. [Extracted from the article]
