Where is Lambda headquartered?

Lambda's corporate headquarters is located at 2510 Zanker Road in San Jose, California 95131. The company was originally founded at a San Francisco hackerspace in 2012 but moved its operational center to San Jose as it scaled into a hardware and cloud infrastructure provider. The San Jose location places Lambda within 10 miles of NVIDIA's Santa Clara headquarters — a proximity that matters for the deep engineering and supply-chain relationships that are central to Lambda's business model and its NVIDIA Exemplar Cloud certification.

The headquarters hosts Lambda's executive team, engineering leadership, sales, and business operations. Lambda's culture has a significant remote-work component; a substantial portion of its ~750 employees work remotely or at data center sites rather than in the San Jose office. International offices in Vietnam, Austria, and Germany extend the company's engineering and customer-support reach across key global markets.

Lambda operates AI factory data centers in California, Texas (Austin area), and Northern Virginia — three of the largest U.S. GPU-demand markets. In 2025–2026 the company significantly expanded its Midwest presence. In October 2025, Lambda announced a 100MW+ AI factory in Kansas City, Missouri, expected to come online in early 2026 with an initial 24MW phase and 10,000+ NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GPUs — with the entire initial deployment dedicated to a single anchor customer under a multi-year agreement.

In partnership with EdgeConneX, Lambda is building a 23MW+ single-tenant liquid-cooled AI factory in Chicago, Illinois — engineered specifically for NVIDIA Blackwell GB300 NVL72 systems using hybrid direct-to-chip liquid cooling capable of densities exceeding 600kW per rack. A separate EdgeConneX partnership adds data center capacity in Atlanta, Georgia, bringing the combined Chicago and Atlanta footprint to more than 30MW. These facilities are purpose-built for density and liquid cooling rather than repurposed general-purpose data centers, reflecting the thermal demands of the latest-generation NVIDIA hardware. Lambda's long-term infrastructure target of 2GW+ capacity by 2030 — supporting over one million GPUs — sets the context for this aggressive Midwest buildout.

Lambda's concentration of corporate buyers is heaviest on the coasts — San Francisco Bay Area, New York/New Jersey, and the Northern Virginia/DC corridor — where frontier AI labs, defense-adjacent organizations, and large enterprise AI teams cluster. Field sales and ABM motions targeting Lambda's existing or prospective customer base should prioritize these geographies, which are where Lambda's 200,000+ developer customers and enterprise accounts tend to be headquartered.

The Midwest expansion (Chicago and Kansas City) signals a new buyer concentration forming around Lambda's operational presence. Local data center contractors, power and cooling vendors, fiber and networking providers, and regional enterprise customers will interact with Lambda's facilities team in those markets. For hardware, networking, and facilities vendors, the Chicago-area data center build in 2026 represents an active procurement event worth monitoring via trade press and local data center industry channels — particularly given that EdgeConneX is the landlord and will have its own vendor relationships to navigate.

For sellers targeting Lambda itself (rather than its customers), the San Jose HQ is the primary buyer location for executive-level relationships, with the new C-suite (Combes, Fisher, Connolly) based there. Field engagement in the Midwest markets is best suited for operational and facilities vendors rather than SaaS or software vendors targeting Lambda's corporate functions.
