Rewiring how power moves - one modular Power Neuron at a time.
For a century, the rule of power electronics has been simple: run everything through one big central converter. Scalvy is trying to break that rule.
Founded in 2022 and headquartered in Austin, Texas, Scalvy builds a modular power-electronics platform it calls the Power Neuron - compact, software-defined modules that convert and control power right at the edge of each battery pack or load, rather than routing it through a single centralized block. The pitch is that when you distribute the work, you get more usable energy, higher reliability, and a system that keeps running even if one module fails.
It is an unglamorous problem, and that is exactly the point. As artificial-intelligence data centers strain the grid, as utilities rush to add storage, and as automakers electrify their fleets, all three run into the same wall: moving power efficiently at scale is hard, expensive, and slow to develop. Scalvy's argument is that a single, modular architecture can serve all three markets. In March 2026 the company raised a $13.9 million oversubscribed Series A, bringing total funding to roughly $17 million.
Figures are company-reported. The 400V-3kV output range and per-phase current above 600A are drawn from Scalvy's own platform specifications; the efficiency benchmark below comes from a concept jointly evaluated with automotive supplier Valeo.
Rather than build a bespoke product for each industry, Scalvy points the same modular architecture at three markets that share one bottleneck - delivering power at scale.
Grid-interactive megawatt racks with integrated storage - enabling ~1MW racks without an HVDC rebuild or sacrificing GPU capacity.
Battery-integrated Power Neurons and a rack-level "Neuro String" PCS deliver more usable energy and resilience for AC-block systems.
Modular EV powertrain modules for commercial vehicles and heavy machinery, with 600A+ per-phase capability and faster charging.
A modular, software-defined building block that converts and controls power at the edge of a load. Rated 400V-3kV output, 250 W/in³ density, 99%+ efficiency, with no single point of failure.
Battery-integrated Power Neurons combined into a rack-level power conversion system for AC-block deployments, delivering enhanced usable energy and reliability.
EV powertrain modules that consolidate inverter, onboard charger, DC-DC and battery management - the consolidation behind the claim of cutting development from 30 months to 6.
Grid-interactive, megawatt-scale power delivery with integrated storage that scales GPU racks without new high-voltage DC infrastructure.
Centralized high-voltage conversion has a well-known weakness: it is a single point of failure, and it forces the whole system to be sized for peak demand. Scale it up and cost, complexity, and risk climb together. Scalvy's answer is to break the converter into many coordinated modules that live next to the energy they manage.
Three consequences follow. First, the architecture is battery-agnostic - it works with any cell chemistry or manufacturer, which turns optionality into a business moat. Second, it degrades gracefully: lose one module and the system keeps running instead of going dark. Third, because the same block is reused across products, development gets faster - the source of Scalvy's claim of compressing EV powertrain timelines from roughly 30 months to six.
Scalvy's competition spans two worlds: established drivetrain and power-electronics suppliers such as BorgWarner, Vitesco/Schaeffler, Valeo, Marelli, and Delta Electronics, and a newer wave of modular-power and PCS startups chasing the same data-center and storage demand. Scalvy's differentiator is the cross-market reuse of one distributed architecture.
Mohamed Badawy, co-founder and CEO, is an electrical-engineering academic who took leave to build Scalvy, joined by co-founder Amr Ibrahem. That academic grounding shows in the company's engineering-first, benchmark-driven public voice - Scalvy tends to lead with efficiency numbers and validation results rather than slogans.
The team of roughly 34 is split between Austin, Texas and Sunnyvale, California, pairing Texas hardware roots with Silicon Valley proximity. The company reports real-world technical validation with blue-chip customers across mobility and energy infrastructure.
Mohamed Badawy and Amr Ibrahem start the company to rethink power delivery from the pack up.
The patented modular, software-defined power-conversion architecture is developed.
Smart integrated modules for electric mobility advance and real-world testing with customers begins.
A battery-integrated architecture is confirmed with Valeo at 98.3% max inverter efficiency; an oversubscribed Series A pushes total funding to ~$17M.
Scalvy partners with Gridscape on multi-chemistry battery deployment as it pushes deeper into energy storage.
Scalvy builds a modular power-electronics platform called the Power Neuron that distributes power conversion and control to the edge of each battery pack or load, serving AI data centers, energy storage, and electric mobility.
Scalvy was founded in 2022 by Mohamed Badawy (co-founder & CEO), an electrical-engineering academic, alongside co-founder Amr Ibrahem. It is headquartered in Austin, Texas.
Scalvy raised a $13.9M oversubscribed Series A in March 2026 led by Silicon Badia, bringing total funding to roughly $17M. Other backers include Azolla Ventures, Climate Capital, and Skyriver Ventures.
It is Scalvy's patented, software-defined power-electronics building block that converts and controls power at the edge of a load - rated for 400V-3kV output, 250 W/in³ density, and 99%+ efficiency, with no single point of failure.
Instead of one centralized conversion block, Scalvy distributes the job across many coordinated modules. That approach is battery-agnostic, degrades gracefully rather than failing all at once, and the company says it can cut EV powertrain development from about 30 months to 6.
