CoreWeave ranked No. 5 in the Enterprise category on Fast Company’s 2023 Most Innovative Companies list. 

CoreWeave has been named to Fast Company’s prestigious annual list of the World’s Most Innovative Companies for 2023. CoreWeave ranked No. 5 in the Enterprise category on Fast Company’s 2023 Most Innovative Companies list, joining the ranks of DocuSign, GitHub, IBM, and more—all previously ranked in the category in 2022.

This year’s list highlights the businesses at the forefront of their respective industries, paving the way for the innovations of tomorrow. These companies are setting the standard with some of the greatest accomplishments of the modern world. In addition to the World’s 50 Most Innovative Companies, 540 organizations are recognized across 54 sectors and regions. 

“We’re very excited to be included in this list among some of the world’s most forward-thinking companies. It’s a testament to what we’re building here at CoreWeave and the impact we have on our clients who are creating cutting-edge technology with our cloud infrastructure.” 

— Mike Intrator, CEO at CoreWeave

CoreWeave specializes in building cloud solutions for compute-intensive use cases that are up to 35X faster and 80% less expensive than legacy cloud providers.

Access to GPUs and compute-intensive resources is the bottleneck for many industries today, including the recent boom in generative AI. With growing partnerships with Stability AI,  Zeet, EleutherAI, and more, CoreWeave continues to democratize access to GPUs and compute resources on demand and at scale and ease the deployment of AI models and applications. 

Clients today use CoreWeave’s serverless Kubernetes cloud infrastructure to power a variety of use cases, including model training, serving inference, cloud rendering,  pixel streaming, batch processing and more. Start-ups can also take advantage of the speed, scale, and accessibility CoreWeave offers through the Accelerator Program, launched last year.

This January, CoreWeave announced its acquisition of Conductor Technologies, developer of the Conductor cloud-based task management service that simplifies access to cloud resources at scale. By acquiring Conductor Technologies, CoreWeave broadens its suite of solutions and capabilities for VFX and animation studios to integrate workloads to the cloud with ease. 

Fast Company’s editors and writers sought out the companies making the biggest strides around the globe. They also judged nominations received through their application process.

The World’s Most Innovative Companies is Fast Company’s signature franchise and one of its most highly anticipated editorial efforts of the year. It provides a firsthand look at the inspiring and innovative efforts of companies across all sectors of the economy.

“What a strange and thrilling year it has been to honor this year’s Most Innovative Companies. This year’s list compiles some of the most cutting-edge groundbreakers who are changing our world every single day, from legacy organizations like McDonald’s to upstarts like MrBeast and institutions such as NASA. Everyone on this list does something completely, uniquely different, yet, they all have one thing in common: innovation.”

– Brendan Vaughan, editor-in-chief at Fast Company
