Verse
Verse is a San Francisco climate-tech company building AI software that turns messy energy, market, and financial data into decisions organizations can actually act on. Its flagship platform, Aria, helps companies forecast Scope 2 emissions, plan and procure clean power (including PPAs), optimize on-site assets like batteries, and - increasingly - get AI data centers connected to the grid years faster. Founded in 2022 by clean-energy veterans from Fluence, Tesla and AMS, Verse raised an oversubscribed $54M Series B in June 2026 led by Bessemer Venture Partners, with GV, NVIDIA and Norrsken.
BuildQ
BuildQ is an AI-native software and services company for capital-intensive infrastructure - energy, data centers and real estate. Founded in 2024 by attorney and former renewable-energy operator Maryssa Barron, the platform centralizes a project's documents, financials and contracts, then uses AI to run due diligence, surface risks and obligations, and produce investor-ready memos and data rooms. The pitch, in Barron's words, is 'TurboTax for project finance': turn the slow, six-figure, thousand-page grind of financing a clean-energy project into something faster and cheaper. Less than a year after launch, BuildQ reported 300+ projects, 10+ gigawatts of capacity and $150M+ in deal flow on the platform.
