Mavria, a company developing industrial infrastructure for artificial intelligence, has raised US$ 130 million across pre-seed and seed funding rounds as it seeks to construct data centers and related infrastructure across the United States.
The company’s latest funding round values it at US$ 1 billion and was led by Paradigm, with participation from AMP PBC, Liquid 2, Critical Frontier, and Dream Ventures. Mavria will use the funding to secure critical supply chains, expand manufacturing capacity, and grow its workforce as detailed in a company announcement.
Mavria was founded by former colleagues in the U.S. Department of Energy, Co-founders Nick Poradek and Adam Blake were both former senior advisors to U.S. secretary of energy, with Co-founder Seth Cohen, former head of nuclear law & policy.
In a company announcement Adam Blake, CEO, Mavria said, “America sets the pace at the intelligence frontier. But the race is moving from the lab into the physical world. Intelligence needs data centers. Data centers need power. Power needs factories, equipment, supply chains and skilled workers, but much of that infrastructure is still built one custom project at a time, on timelines measured in years.”
While investment in computing capacity continues to grow, manufacturing capabilities, energy equipment, and supply chains needed to support that expansion have not kept pace. Its approach centers on producing infrastructure through standardized manufacturing rather than relying on individually designed construction projects, which can take years to complete.
Mavria’s launch comes as the expansion of AI computing capacity increases demand for electricity, data centers, and industrial equipment. The ability to manufacture and deploy the infrastructure supporting these facilities is becoming a key factor in the industry’s growth.
The company is developing a standardized manufacturing model that it hopes to apply to a broader range of infrastructure projects beyond data centers. Although data centers are its initial focus, Mavria plans to expand into other areas of physical infrastructure needed to support AI development.
