Mount Thor raised US$45 million in equity capital across Seed and Series A financing rounds. CRV and Conviction co-led the Series A round, while Chad Byers and Offline Ventures co-led the Seed round. The San Francisco startup provides managed cloud infrastructure powered by macOS and Apple silicon for artificial intelligence agents.


Additional financial backing

Other participating investors included CSC Leasing, Enea Capital, Long Journey Ventures, and Upper90. Angel investors from Meta, OpenAI, and Together AI also joined the financing. The company secured separate non-dilutive capital to fund hardware purchases.

Company foundation and operations

Peter Voell founded Mount Thor in 2026 to offer Apple hardware at datacenter scale. The company deployed its first operational data center in less than six months. Its technical team previously built systems at infrastructure providers such as CoreWeave, Nebius, and OpenAI.

Cloud access to Apple hardware

Mount Thor manages rack-scale Apple systems to deliver on-demand macOS compute instances. Research labs use the platform to build reinforcement learning environments for autonomous computer-use agents. Enterprises also run open-source models on the hardware to lower operational inference costs.


Mount Thor plans to expand its compute capacity to meet growing customer demand. The financing proceeds will also support hiring to build out the core team. In addition, the startup aims to create an inference lab focused on open-source models for Apple chips.
