Why We Invested in Amperesand
Marc Bouchet (Senior Investment Associate), TDK Ventures The power crunch is upon us AI is power hungry. Datacenters are being built at breakneck speed in an unprecedented multi-hundred-billion-dollar buildout cycle to train and run AI models. Their raw power draw is staggering — racks that once used a few kilowatts are now trending towards megawatts […]
