Virtual Compute Corporation (vCompute), a leading provider of high-performance computing (HPC) and hosting infrastructure, announced plans to raise $350 million in growth capital to support a major expansion of its data center operations.
Founded in 2003, vCompute was among the first U.S. companies to offer dedicated and on-demand cloud-based HPC services. Today, the company serves mission-critical workloads across industries such as energy, manufacturing, geophysics, life sciences, and climate research. The planned expansion will increase hosting capacity and support demand for advanced AI and HPC infrastructure solutions.
“We’re seeing exponential demand growth,” said Edward Hawes, CEO of vCompute. “This capital raise marks a strategic inflection point. With proven infrastructure designs, extreme automation, and strong financial discipline, we’re positioned to scale quickly and profitably — both through organic buildouts and potential acquisitions.”

vCompute operates two debt-free data centers in Houston, engineered for cost-efficiency and operational resilience. Automation and intelligent monitoring systems minimize labor requirements, resulting in a lean expense profile and strong margins.
“We’ve remained conservative and profitable since the beginning,” Hawes continued. “Now, with operational risk minimized and market validation firmly established, we are accelerating our growth. This expansion represents a rare opportunity for investors to participate in a high-margin infrastructure play with substantial upside.”
