Utilidata Secures $60M Series C to Power the Next Generation of AI-Embedded Electric Grid Infrastructure

Utilidata is thrilled to announce the successful raising of $60,000,000 in fresh capital, marking a pivotal moment in our journey to revolutionize infrastructure with AI-powered technology. As a cutting-edge company partnering with NVIDIA, our mission is to usher in next-generation, AI-embedded solutions that begin with the electric grid. At the heart of this transformation is Karman, our distributed AI platform, which operates on our custom NVIDIA module to deliver accelerated computing at the edge. This powerful platform makes real-time data available for local AI model training and is embedded directly into grid devices, starting with smart meters. As the electric grid evolves with the rapid increase of electric vehicles, distributed solar power, batteries, heat pumps, and the challenges of extreme weather, utility companies face the urgent need for real-time visibility and dynamic, software-driven infrastructure. Karman meets this need by providing immediate insights into grid conditions, enabling utilities to efficiently manage customer energy resources, reduce the frequency and duration of power outages, and accelerate recovery in the wake of severe weather events. This significant funding not only underscores investor confidence in our innovative approach but also propels our mission-driven team forward. Our collective expertise in electric engineering, power systems, software development, data science, and energy policy empowers us to address complex industry challenges effectively. We remain committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive, and flexible workplace where mentorship and growth are paramount, ensuring that together, we continue to push the boundaries of what technology can achieve for resilient, efficient energy solutions.
