Stoked to share that we are leading Verse's $54M Series B!! Verse dramatically increases speed to power for Fortune 500s + hyperscale data centers through their two core products: 1/ Aria: enables buyers who spend billions of $ per year on electricity to manage spend, contracts, trading, etc. in one centralized AI-native platform 2/ Dispatch Intelligence: batteries without software are just heavy paperweights. Verse has partnered with Calibrant Energy, the leading provider of on-site battery projects for large power users, and serves as the intelligence layer for those batteries. These assets co-located with renewables behind-the-meter (BTM) help reduce grid utilization during peak periods and allows developers to accelerate interconnection approvals by years Every so often, we meet entrepreneurs who articulate a vision for the future so compelling it feels inevitable. That's certainly how it felt when @davidcowan and I met Seyed & Matt for the first time. We @BessemerVP couldn't be more excited to be partnering with them & to be joined by our co-investors in this round: @GVteam, @nvidia, @coatuemgmt, @NorrskenVC, @inevitablemcj, & more. Our full announcement inclusive of our thesis and a high level version of our memo linked below!
