Starcloud
Starcloud is building data centers in space, initially to provide GPU compute to other satellites, and later to address the rapidly growing demand for energy caused by the deployment of AI. Falling launch costs give Starcloud access to abundant energy, radiative cooling, and the ability to rapidly scale in space. In November 2025, just 21 months after founding, Starcloud launched its first satellite, Starcloud-1 to space. This has an Nvidia H100, which is 100x more powerful GPU than has ever bee

sourceStarcloud is classified as AI infrastructure from source descriptions and fund-directory context. Similar companies below are ranked from offline product facets and meaningful description overlap; category and source affiliation can only strengthen an existing product match. For lookup-created rows, the profile starts as pending enrichment until deeper source collection runs.
Local clusters rerank extracted product concepts and description terms. The generated graph remains the fallback for sparse descriptions: offline reciprocal product-similarity graph: extracted concepts + description terms + bounded category/affiliation boosts. Minimum fallback score: 0; max competitors: 6.

Ferveret
match 48Ferveret develops liquid cooling solutions inspired by nuclear power plant cooling. We save data centers 96% in cooling costs, 68% on capital costs, and reduce their carbon footprint by 40% while increasing chip performance by 2X. Today, about 40% of the electricity used in these facilities is wasted on cooling. Our technology eliminates this wasted energy.

Boost Robotics
match 44Boost Robotics is building autonomous mobile manipulation robots to remotely perform manual tasks in data centers. The surge in AI applications is pushing data centers to scale faster than they can manage, leading to suboptimal operations and staffing shortages amid rising power and compute demands. We save data centers millions in insurance premiums and SLA violations by increasing the frequency of inspection and maintenance while reducing the time it takes to triage and address failures.
