GridCARE, a new company powering the AI revolution, emerged from stealth today. The company has closed a highly oversubscribed $13.5 million Seed financing round led by Xora, a deep technology venture capital firm backed by Temasek. GridCARE works directly with hyperscalers and some of the biggest AI data center developers to accelerate time-to-power for infrastructure deployment, both for upgrading existing facilities and identifying new sites with immediate power availability for gigascale AI clusters. By leveraging advanced generative AI-based analysis to find pockets with geographic and temporal capacity on the existing grid, GridCARE reduces data centers’ time-to-power from 5-7 years to just 6-12 months, allowing AI companies to deploy GPUs and CPUs faster. As the one-stop power partner for data center developers, GridCARE eliminates the complexity of navigating thousands of different utility companies so developers can focus on innovation rather than power acquisition. GridCARE is also actively partnering with utilities, such as Portland General Electric and Pacific Gas & Electric, who view better utilization of their existing grid assets as a way to increase revenues and bring the electricity cost down for all their customers. Additionally, this collaboration stimulates local economies with billions of dollars of new investment and high-paying job opportunities. “GridCARE is solving one of the biggest bottlenecks to AI data centers today — access to scalable, reliable power. Their differentiated, execution-focused approach enables power at speed and at scale,” said Peter Lim, Partner at Xora. “Power is the critical limiter to billions of dollars in AI infrastructure,” said Peter Freed, Partner at Near Horizon Group and former Director of Energy Strategy at Meta. “GridCARE uncovers previously invisible grid capacity, opening a new fast track to power and enabling sophisticated power-first AI data center development.”
