Today we’re unveiling Mavria: a company building the industrial platform behind American AI.
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.
My co-founders and I worked together at the Department of Energy, where we recognized how unprepared American infrastructure is for what’s coming. Our labs and clouds have extraordinary ambitions for compute, but we simply don’t have the industrial capabilities to match them.
We founded Mavria to close that gap.
We believe in rapidly deploying infrastructure as a product, rather than custom-building every project. We're bringing together engineering, manufacturing, supply chains and capital so that every project makes us better at delivering the next.
We’re starting with data centers, but our ambition extends across the physical infrastructure that AI depends on.
Our first product, Terrain, is a factory-built data center platform designed to bring compute online faster, with more predictable delivery and lower costs. It replaces custom field construction with repeatable manufacturing. We’re building Terrain for frontier labs, cloud providers, and data center developers.
Terrain 01 is in production in Houston right now.
We've raised $130 million to date across pre-seed and seed rounds. Our latest round values Mavria at $1 billion and was led by Paradigm, with participation from AMP PBC, Liquid 2, Critical Frontier, and Dream Ventures. We're already putting that capital to work securing critical supply chains, scaling manufacturing, and expanding our team.
Building Mavria requires people from industries that have rarely worked together, but increasingly must.
Nick Poradek is an engineer who became a founder. He built complex energy equipment, sold his last company to Liberty Energy, and then helped build Liberty’s manufacturing platform.
Seth Cohen started as a Kirkland lawyer and ended up at the center of the effort to restart American nuclear power, working across government, industry, capital and policy.
I've spent my career as an entrepreneur in energy and software. I built one of the largest commercial solar companies in the U.S. and sold a software business to Vista Equity Partners.
The rest of our founding team has run utilities, led a modular LNG manufacturer with more than a thousand employees, developed major energy projects, and rapidly scaled technology companies.
The next decade will show whether America can build at anything close to the pace its AI companies are moving. We're building Mavria because we don't want the answer to be no.
If you're reading this and see the same problem we do, come build with us. We’re hiring across engineering, manufacturing and operations. We have a lot of work ahead.
