After 18 months of demonstrations—across five data centers all over the world—we've entered our commercial scaling phase and are now deployed at multi-MW, full data center scale with customers spanning the world's biggest AI pioneers, global data center platforms, and leading power utilities. We're proud to collaborate with @NVIDIA, @Digitalrealty, @EPRINews, and others to launch the world's first power-flexible AI Factory—roughly 100MW in Manassas, Virginia—later this year, creating the blueprint for a new generation of flexible DSX AI infrastructure that will be good citizens to power grids and local communities. We're also honored to partner with @SantaClaraPower on the nation's first Flexible Load Interconnection Program (FLIP) to provide additional power capacity to flexible AI data centers. 🤝We are so grateful to our incredible consortium of investors, co-led by @EnergizeCapital and @DCVC, as well as to the extraordinary syndicate of leading global financial and strategic investors. Emerald now counts 12 Fortune 500 Global companies as our investors. Many thanks to Series A investors including @NVIDIA, @SamsungVentures, @aramcoventures, @Siemens, @SalesforceVC, @GEVernova, @RWE_AG, @jeraventures, @ADI_News Ventures, @SabanciHolding, In-Q-Tel, @radicalvcfund, @EnergyImpact_, @lowercarbon, Marunouchi Innovation Partners, @EmCollective, @johndoerr, The Olayan Group, The Temerty Group, @EarthshotVC, @collectiveGBL, General Catalyst's scout fund, and others. 🚀This funding will be instrumental as we rapidly scale commercially across the United States and around the world. Our vision is simple: secure larger and faster power connections for AI while making sure AI gives back to the communities that host it. At Emerald AI, we believe that the biggest new user of electricity—AI data centers—can also be the grid's greatest ally, and a boon for local communities by protecting energy affordability and reliability. Thank you to all of our customers, partners, investors, and our incredible team (grateful to the leadership team pictured below Ayse Coskun Mansi Shah Aroon Vijaykar Shayan Sengupta as well as to the whole fantastic team)—this has already been the journey of a lifetime, and we're just getting started
