The Data Center That Fits Inside a Hydro Plant
A San Francisco startup led by an Alaskan energy trader is betting that the next wave of AI compute won't be built in Virginia. It will be built next to a waterfall in Cordova.

Starcloud
Starcloud is a US deep-tech company building data centers in orbit. By placing GPU clusters in space, it taps near-continuous solar power and passive radiative cooling to run AI training and inference without the land, water, grid-permitting, and energy constraints that bottleneck data centers on Earth. In November 2025 its Starcloud-1 satellite became the first spacecraft to train a large language model in orbit using an Nvidia H100 GPU; its $170M Series A in March 2026 made it the fastest unicorn in Y Combinator history.
