Phaidra’s AI agents deliver 25% reduction in data center cooling energy consumption while the company just raised $50 million in Series B funding led by Collaborative Fund with participation from Nvidia. This isn’t another software efficiency story—it’s about the physical infrastructure bottleneck that’s beginning to constrain AI deployment at scale.

As CEO Jim Gao puts it: “We live in a power constrained world. The ability for these big AI companies to generate revenue is literally limited by the number of electrons available.” When energy supply can’t keep pace with AI data center construction, infrastructure efficiency becomes a revenue multiplier, not just a cost optimization.
