Gridcare, an AI platform that identifies unused capacity in electric grids, closed a $64 million Series A funding round. The raise follows the startup's $13.5 million seed round in 2025.

Gridcare uses artificial intelligence to analyze electric grid data and surface underutilized capacity. The startup targets data center operators, helping them connect facilities faster by identifying available grid resources. The Series A was oversubscribed, indicating strong investor demand for grid intelligence solutions. Gridcare's funding reflects growing interest in AI applications for energy infrastructure optimization. Electric grid capacity constraints have become a bottleneck for data center expansion, particularly as AI computing demand surges. Solutions that expedite grid connections address a critical pain point for hyperscalers and facility operators. With $77.5 million in total funding, Gridcare is positioned to expand its team and scale platform capabilities across additional markets.
