**Michael Intrator Interview on "Mad Money"**

CNBC TV

08 October 2025

https://mms.tveyes.com/MediaCenterPlayer.aspx?u=aHR0cDovL21lZGlhY2VudGVyLnR2ZXllcy5jb20vZG93bmxvYWRnYXRld2F5LmFzcHg<br> %2FVXNlcklEPTE0NzA0MjQmTURJRD0yNDQ5MjY0MyZNRFNlZWQ9NjA3NSZUeXBlPU1lZGlh

**Jim Cramer:** Over the past few weeks, we've heard about a bunch of new AI infrastructure deals, and that's taking up practically every stock in the group, including CoreWeave, which builds data centers and then basically rents out their computing power. You know, we've liked this from the day they did their IPO. CoreWeave has scored a $6.5 billion expansion of its business with OpenAI. The second one in the past few months, their total contract value with OpenAI now weighs in at 22.4 billion. And on top of that, they just announced more than $14 billion worth of contract with Meta platforms. Currently, Wall Street's been underestimating the demand for computing power and for the work of CoreWeave. Just today, CoreWeave announced some new tools to help programmers develop AI agents, and the stock jumped almost 9% in response. It's now up over 65% from its lows last month, and it's up 250% from where it came public in March. So can you keep running? Let's check in with Michael Intrator--he's the co-founder, chairman and CEO of CoreWeave--to get a better sense of the story. Mr. Intrator, welcome back to Mad Money.

**Michael Intrator, CEO, CoreWeave:** Thank you Jim. It's great to be back.

**Jim Cramer:** Okay. So Michael, tell us, what exactly are you providing that people keep selecting your company? Because there's now a host of companies that claim they do the same thing you do.

**Michael Intrator, CEO, CoreWeave:** Yeah, I guess we can take the approach that imitation is the highest form of flattery, right? Look, we have built the premier solution for delivering AI infrastructure to large consumers who need access to the infrastructure at scale. That's what CoreWeave has done. And we've done it, everything from building the data centers through building the infrastructure inside of the data centers, through the supercomputers, through the networking, all the way up through the software, and provide, you know, what is the best solution in market for consumers of compute.

**Jim Cramer:** Okay. So when I think that the companies I'm seeing being bought by many of our viewers, but certainly people in the public. They're buying Nebius and IREN and TerraWulf. How do you distinguish yourself from what they're doing?

**Michael Intrator, CEO, CoreWeave:** Yeah. Look, you know, there's a lot of people that are stepping into the space, that are trying to build an infrastructure solution. But at the end of the day, we have spent years building out our software solution that provides best in class delivery of this infrastructure. It's why clients keep coming back to us again and again. It's, you know, we regularly will have clients that have consumed infrastructure on other platforms turn back to us and say, "you know, we tried it on other platforms. We're coming back to you because this is the best solution in the market." It has to do with the software solutions; the integration of the software into the hardware. You know, I mean, the traction that we get with clients once they get to the proof-of-concept stage is overwhelming. There's over a 90% win rate. Once they actually begin to use the infrastructure on our platform. And that's just astounding, right? And that really is a reflection of how much better this infrastructure works when it's consumed through the CoreWeave solution.

**Jim Cramer:** That 90% win rate.

**Michael Intrator, CEO, CoreWeave:** It's 90%. It's astounding.

**Jim Cramer:** You're pretty darn proprietary. I like that. We had Jensen Huang yesterday for CNBC Investing Club. It was a great one on one. And one of the things that he talked about was he dismissed this notion of the circular deal. And instead he talked about the notion of being a really great investor, and he mentioned the investment in CoreWeave. Now, how did that come about? Because it clearly was at the time, risky. You and I talked about it. I wasn't worried about it because I knew that it was a real investment. It was not to be able to give you money and then you give him money.

**Michael Intrator, CEO, CoreWeave:** Yeah. Look, there's a narrative out there right now that has to deal with circular investment. And I think it's just fundamentally flawed, right? The reality of the situation is really large, really important technology companies across the space are buying infrastructure to deliver it to their clients. Meta, Microsoft, Amazon, Google. I mean, the largest tech companies in the world are purchasing this infrastructure because they have demand. There's nothing circular about that. It's a fundamental infrastructure build out that's taking place, and when you have such a massive scale investment in infrastructure, it is not unusual to see partnerships as people try to serve infrastructure to the consumers. It happens in other markets. It's happening in this market. I don't think it's circular at all. I, you know, we've been tagged with circular investments since Nvidia made its first investment of $100 million years ago. $100 million. We've raised $25 billion. They didn't invest $100 million for circular acceleration of their business. They invested $100 million because they looked at the solution we provide and said "that's a solution that we want to own, that we want to buy into, that we want to own a piece of. And that's what it is. I think the, you know, this narrative around the circular investment, you know, it's of the day, but it will pass because the fundamental drivers in the market are enormous.

**Jim Cramer:** Okay. So yesterday Jensen also said something that you told me, I almost said you taught me, but I'll go with taught me. You know what. Which was that what you're left with after, say, the five years, whatever, is actually quite valuable because the actual platforms have tremendous ability for other customers, and they're going to be owned by you and anyone who thinks that once you amortize it after five years, they're therefore going to be in big trouble because they own something are just dead wrong? Can you put it in your words? Because I think you really explain it well.

**Michael Intrator, CEO, CoreWeave:** Yeah. So look, you know, when we go into a deal, we buy... You know, we get a client comes to us and says, "I want to buy $2 worth of compute." We go out and we buy a dollar's worth of infrastructure, and we deliver that to the client. Right? At the end of the day, we are going to be left with the profits that we make during the contract term. We are going to pay back the debt. We are going to support the interest, cover the OpEx, and at the end of that, we're left with what I refer to as the equity slug. Right. It's the last piece of infrastructure that you then get to run in a fully depreciated manner for as long as it is able to generate revenue, and historically, we have seen this infrastructure last a lot longer than people expect. We have seen our clients come in and purchase this infrastructure looking to buy for six years, even with options into the seventh year. And at the end of the day, I always look towards the people that are putting up the money, that are buying the compute to guide me in my understanding of what the expected value of the infrastructure will be over time. If they're willing to pay me for 6 or 7 years, that's how long it's going to last at least. That's the minimum.

**Jim Cramer:** Yeah, well, it sounds to me that the equity portion is certainly worth holding for. Now, one other thing is that you've got a deal. It's going to be like three more weeks. You're buying a company called Core Scientific. I know there's some people that are not happy with the price, but at the same time, I believe the stock is up substantially from when you made the bid.

**Michael Intrator, CEO, CoreWeave:** Yeah. We've been doing a lot of things. We've been buying companies. We have been building software organically, and so yesterday we announced the acquisition of Monolith. That's an incredible company. All of our industrial clients are trying to figure out how to bring AI to bear on their engineering processes, on physics, on the build out of their fundamental value proposition to the market, and by buying a company like Monolith and integrating that into our service, you get to make huge progress towards actually bringing AI to a portion of the market that hasn't yet fully incorporated it. Another acquisition was OpenPipe's, we just released.

**Jim Cramer:** How about the Core Scientific? Of course, maybe you're not allowed to talk about it, but to me, I'm trying to understand why someone wouldn't be happy with being up.

**Michael Intrator, CEO, CoreWeave:** So, we're up 60% from when we made the bid, or they're up 60% from when they made the bid. We are extremely confident that this deal is going to go through. We're extremely excited that it goes through, and if it doesn't, they're going to be great partners for us no matter what, because they run some of the data centers that our infrastructure is in. We are going through the process that you have to go through. Some shareholders are excited about the deal. Some shareholders aren't as excited about the deal. In the end, we believe, our board believes, the management company of Core Scientific believes, the board of directors of Core Scientific believes that there is real value here for joining the two companies together. And we believe we will be successful.

**Jim Cramer:** Well, there it is. Let's leave it at that. And congratulations on all these big deals. I've been to not one of your facilities, but a facility where you do work inside. And I know it is quite proprietary. People who think that it's just plug and play really don't understand. And I was taught that not by you, but by Jensen Huang. So anyway, I want to thank Michael Intrator, co-founder, chairman and CEO of CoreWeave. Always good to have you on, Michael. Thank you so much.
