Hydra Host, a GPU infrastructure company based in Boulder, Colorado, has closed a $100 million Series A round. The financing closed on June 15, 2026, and was led by Kindred Ventures.

The round pulled in a deep bench of investors. NVIDIA, ARK Invest, SPLY Capital, Jasper Lau’s Era Funds, Comcast Ventures, Magnetar, and PEAK6 all took part. Existing backers returned as well, including Founders Fund, 10x Founders, Sterling Road, and Flume Ventures, with participation from Scott McNealy.

Hydra Host runs a marketplace that connects developers and enterprises to high-performance graphics processing units pooled from data center operators around the world. The system behind it, called the Brokkr AI Factory Operating System, has already been deployed at more than 50 data centers spanning the Americas, Asia Pacific, and the Europe, Middle East and Africa regions.

The new capital is aimed at expanding GPU-as-a-Service capacity to keep up with surging demand for dedicated AI infrastructure. Beyond raw capacity, the company plans to put money toward international growth, supply chain and procurement, and around-the-clock high-performance computing engineering. The goal is to keep every GPU in the Brokkr network running at the highest tier, staying compliant and commercially viable.

The list of names attached to this round, NVIDIA and ARK Invest among them, signals how much attention the AI infrastructure space is drawing. With $100 million in hand, Hydra Host is set to scale its network at a moment when demand for compute shows little sign of slowing.
