Software that turns AI data centers into flexible, grid-responsive assets.
Emerald AI builds software (the Emerald Conductor system) that orchestrates AI workloads in real time so data centers can dynamically reduce power draw at grid peaks and act as flexible grid assets while preserving acceptable compute performance. Founded around 2024 by physicist Varun Sivaram (HQ Washington, D.C.), it raised a $25M strategic round in March 2026 led by Energy Impact Partners with NVIDIA's NVentures, Eaton, GE Vernova, Salesforce, Samsung, Siemens, and In-Q-Tel, following a 2025 seed - about $68M total. NVIDIA and Emerald later opened a power-flexible AI factory research center in Virginia. Valuation terms were not disclosed.
