Gridcare, Inc.
GridCARE, Inc. is a private technology company founded in 2024 and headquartered in Redwood City, California, United States. The company's core business revolves around providing AI data center power solutions by leveraging existing grid infrastructure. Its mission is to accelerate power delivery for the AI economy, addressing what it terms the "Time-to-Energize Crisis" by unlocking grid capacity and enabling the rapid deployment of large-scale AI infrastructure.
GridCARE's primary offering is the GridCARE Energize™ platform, which utilizes physics-based AI and generative AI models. This platform identifies and activates near-term, underutilized capacity within existing electrical grids, significantly reducing the time required to power AI data centers from years to months. The company partners with hyperscalers, major AI data center developers, utilities, and energy providers to facilitate faster access to power without necessitating costly grid upgrades, while also enhancing grid reliability and affordability.
In May 2026, GridCARE successfully raised $64 million in an oversubscribed Series A funding round, led by Sutter Hill Ventures, bringing its total funding to $77.5 million across two rounds. The company has gained notable recognition, including being named a World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer for AI Power Innovation in June 2026 and appearing on Fast Company's list of the World's Most Innovative Companies for 2026. GridCARE is actively collaborating with major utilities like National Grid and Southern California Edison (SCE) to identify and unlock grid capacity, and has qualified 5 gigawatts of additional load-serving capacity on the U.S. grid, with potential to unlock up to 120 GW nationwide. The leadership team includes Co-founder and CEO Amit Narayan, Co-founder and CTO Ram Rajagopal, and Co-founders Liang Min and Arun Majumdar.
