# Emerald AI Raises $150 Million Series A at $1.05 Billion Valuation

> Emerald AI has raised a 150 million dollar Series A that values the company at 1.05 billion dollars, pushing it to unicorn status with total funding now above 220 million. The oversubscribed round was co-led by Energize Capital and DCVC, and the backer list is unusually heavy on strategic names, including a dozen Fortune 500 companies such as Nvidia, Samsung, and Siemens. The company's product tackles one of the thorniest problems in the AI boom: power. Its software lets data centers dynamically adjust how much electricity they draw, so they can flex demand up and down to help stabilize the grid rather than acting as an immovable load. That focus explains the strategic interest. As AI data centers strain local power systems, tools that make their consumption flexible are valuable to chipmakers, utilities, and industrial suppliers alike, which is likely why so many of them showed up on the cap table.
