Energized Capacity Is the Binding Limit

U.S. data-center demand is projected from 23 GW to 134 GW by 2030. Stranded and curtailed power is the fastest unlock.

Fornax

Stranded & Curtailable Power Compute
Fund I · In Formation
Modular compute deployed at curtailed renewables and retired-coal interconnects. Contracted power offtake makes each site project-financeable from day one. The grid can't build fast enough. Stranded power is the fastest path to energized capacity.

Pyxis

Commercial Building Compute
Fund I · In Formation
Modular compute nodes installed in commercial real estate, monetizing spare behind-the-meter power. Revenue shared with property owners. No new grid connection required. Capacity is already energized and permitted.

Compute Is Being Pushed to New Ground

Land, water, and grid access push compute behind-the-meter, offshore, and into locations traditional datacenters can't reach.

Aquarius

Underwater Compute
Fund I · In Formation
Productize for Western waters what's proven commercially abroad. Sealed pressure vessels with seawater cooling, deployed in a host nation's Exclusive Economic Zone under sovereign concession. No land, no freshwater footprint. Microsoft's Project Natick proved 8x reliability versus matched land deployment.

Phoenix

Orbital Compute
Fund I · In Formation
Small incubation position. GPUs running in orbit with near-continuous solar and zero land use. Economics hinge on launch costs; parity expected late 2020s. Scale only when the unit economics arrive.

Regulation Keeps Some Compute Local

Sovereign data laws and on-site inference requirements mean finance, healthcare, and defense need in-jurisdiction capacity. EU AI Act enforcement begins August 2026.

Corona

Sovereign Regulated Compute
Fund I · In Formation
In-jurisdiction, compliance-aware compute capacity for finance, healthcare, and defense. Data stays on-soil. Premium recurring revenue from buyers who can't use hyperscaler regions due to regulatory or classification constraints.
Buyer
Regulated enterprises, sovereign AI programs

Centauri

Embodied / Edge Inference
Fund I · In Formation
Self-contained inference modules for homes, buildings, and industrial plants. Zero round-trip latency. Physics-bound demand. These workloads can't go to the cloud. Grows even in capex slowdowns because the compute must be on-site.
