💰 NVentures (NVIDIA) and GV (Google Ventures) joined the $54M Series B in Verse Enterprises — and the AI energy race just got a major new player. Verse is a San Francisco-based startup building energy infrastructure software that helps data centers bypass grid interconnection queues and come online up to three years faster by intelligently orchestrating on-site batteries and solar resources. The oversubscribed round was led by Bessemer Venture Partners, with NVentures, GV (Google Ventures), and Norrsken VC all participating. 🚀 To deliver on its promise, Verse is launching Dispatch Intelligence™ — a new offering that enables data centers to become flexible, grid-responsive assets without impacting operations. The company is also integrating its software with Nvidia's DSX AI Factory reference design for gigascale sites. Seyed H. Madaeni, Ph.D., CEO and Co-Founder at Verse: "The race to AI is now a race to power, and developers are losing time they don't have." 🤝 NVIDIA and Google backing the same grid-software startup signals that hyperscalers are now investing directly in the infrastructure layer that determines how fast AI capacity can actually scale. 🔗 Link to full article in the comments Stay on top of every major CVC move in the market — follow The CVC Club on LinkedIn or join the community at https://thecvc.club/ #CorporateVentureCapital #CVC #AIInfrastructure #EnergyTech #DataCenter
