Early Life and Education
Brannin McBee's journey began with a foundation in finance. He earned a B.S. in Finance from the University of Colorado Boulder, which equipped him with the analytical skills necessary for his future ventures.
Rise to Success
McBee's career took a pivotal turn when he, along with Michael Intrator and Brian Venturo, co-founded CoreWeave in 2017. Initially, the company was focused on cryptocurrency mining, but the team quickly identified the growing demand for computing power in the emerging AI sector. CoreWeave pivoted to become a cloud computing provider specializing in GPU-accelerated infrastructure. This strategic move positioned CoreWeave at the forefront of the AI revolution, providing essential computing resources for AI model training and inference. CoreWeave signed a $12 billion deal with OpenAI in March of 2025.
Key Business Strategies
A key business strategy for CoreWeave was to secure a large supply of Nvidia chips, positioning them favorably to meet the demands of AI companies. Another was the company's ability to secure significant funding, primarily through debt, to expand its data center capacity and support its growth. McBee has also been involved in the company's efforts to expand its services and enter new markets, including the federal government sector.
