What Investors Say
“The AI infrastructure buildout is one of the defining themes of this decade, but power is a fundamental limitation.”
— James McIntyre, Co-Founder & Managing Partner, Renown Capital Partners 1
“AI data centers can’t afford to wait for new power capacity. They need to maximize what they have now.”
What Founders Say
“Power availability is the defining constraint for data centers right now. Karman squeezes every watt out of the power you already have.”
