- Valarian raised a $50M Series A led by NEA, offering enterprises a way to use US cloud providers for AI workloads while retaining control of their data
- Max Buchan, the company's founder, began championing "infrastructure sovereignty" as a counter to what he describes as the globalization and Davos worldview
Why it matters: European enterprises worried about US cloud dependency now have a London-headquartered vendor offering a $50M-backed path to AI compute sovereignty, with NEA's lead signaling serious investor appetite for the data-sovereignty thesis.
