Emerald AI builds software that lets AI data centers act as flexible loads on the electric grid instead of fixed ones. Its platform orchestrates AI compute workloads in response to real-time grid conditions, shifting or throttling them across time and geography and coordinating on-site batteries so facilities can cut power draw during grid stress without breaking service commitments. A demonstration in Phoenix with a 256-GPU cluster reduced consumption roughly 25% over a three-hour stress window and returned to baseline afterward. The company was founded in 2024 by CEO Varun Sivaram and is backed by Radical Ventures, NVIDIA's NVentures, CRV, and Salesforce Ventures.
