Scalvy raised $13.9 million in an oversubscribed Series A round, co-led by a strategic investor and Silicon Badia, to advance its modular Power Neuron platform for AI data centers, energy storage, and electric mobility.
What is Scalvy?
Scalvy, headquartered in Austin, Texas, develops a modular power electronics platform that re-architects large scale power delivery through its patented Power Neuron technology. This distributed system replaces traditional centralized high voltage conversion architectures with compact, software coordinated modules deployed directly at energy load points. Each Power Neuron integrates power conversion, control, and built-in energy storage, enabling cascading conversion across the system for megawatt scale applications. The platform delivers ultra high power density (over 250 W/in³), grid interactive capabilities, 99%+ efficiency, and hot swappable modularity while eliminating the need for bulky HVDC buses, sidecars, or extensive redesigns of existing infrastructure.
The technology targets three high growth sectors facing acute power bottlenecks: AI hyperscale data centers, grid scale energy storage, and electric mobility (including commercial vehicles and heavy machinery). In data centers, it supports 1 MW+ racks and high density GPU deployments in a footprint up to 60% smaller than conventional power shelves, with no HVDC infrastructure required and reduced grid current fluctuations. In energy storage, it extracts over 37% more usable energy per battery cell, lowers system costs by avoiding silicon carbide components, and provides fault ride through with 99.9% uptime through distributed redundancy. In mobility, it enables 600 A+ per phase powertrains with 20%+ longer battery life, 30% faster charging, and 50% lower losses by integrating directly with battery packs.
Scalvy’s latest funding is a $13.9 million oversubscribed Series A round. The round was co-led by a strategic investor and Silicon Badia, with participation from Azolla Ventures, Climate Capital, Skyriver Ventures, and additional backers. This brings Scalvy’s total capital raised to approximately $17 million, following an earlier seed round of roughly $3 million in August 2023. Proceeds will accelerate UL-style certification processes, expand large scale field testing with existing blue chip customers, support initial commercial deployments, and fuel rapid team growth to match surging demand across target markets.
The timing aligns with exploding power demands from AI infrastructure and electrification. Centralized architectures increasingly constrain scaling due to size, cost, efficiency losses, reliability risks, and supply chain limitations on high voltage components. Scalvy’s distributed approach addresses these at the architectural level (delivering 30% more usable energy, drastically reduced footprints, and inherent grid friendliness) without forcing customers into wholesale system overhauls. Recent technical validations include successful evaluation of a battery integrated architecture in an automotive system developed with Valeo and ongoing pilots in energy infrastructure.

Investor conviction is evident in the oversubscription and mix of participants. Silicon Badia’s Namek Zu’bi highlighted the underappreciated power infrastructure bottleneck behind AI compute growth, noting Scalvy’s architectural fix rather than incremental patching. Azolla Ventures’ Matthew Nordan emphasized the platform’s game changing balance of performance, cost, and flexibility in a power electronics sector long marked by slow innovation. The presence of a strategic investor and climate focused funds (Climate Capital, Azolla) signals alignment with both commercial scalability and sustainability imperatives.
CEO and co-founder Mohamed Badawy framed the round as unlocking scalable, sustainable high power systems. He stated that AI and mobility sectors have historically traded power for space, cost, or capacity; Scalvy’s Power Neurons eliminate those penalties while preserving compatibility with legacy designs. With certification targeted for completion in the coming year and deployments ramping in data centers, storage, and mobility, the funding positions Scalvy to capture early commercial traction in markets where power density, efficiency, and reliability directly determine project viability and economics. The company’s multi sector platform and demonstrated customer validations provide a clear path to broader adoption as global electrification accelerates.
