Sam Altman and Satya Nadella say that energy is the biggest constraint on AI. My latest investment will fix it.
Brick uses hardware and AI agents to cut your energy use by up to 35%. It
does this without compromising comfort or the function of your facility.
Founder Sebastian Sheng lived through dangerous blackouts growing up in
China. This made him want to solve the problems in our energy system.
Brick is a huge help in data centers, saving many millions on power costs.
Sebastian is also putting Brick into factories, large apartment buildings, and all sorts of commercial facilities.
Cut everyone’s power bill by a third, and it’s like building a ton of new power
plants. All that without the permitting and construction delays!
Think about all the pieces we need to put together to do AI…
NVIDIA handles the chips. OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and xAI have the
algos. Companies like my investment, Micro1, get us the data.
Brick makes sure we have the power.
Startups that help us use our existing resources more efficiently can become
massive companies. Uber increases utilization for cars. Airbnb fills up your
spare room.
Both are among the most successful startups of the last 20 years.
I think Brick could sit right alongside them. So I’m delighted to call it my
latest investment.
If you have a commercial facility, check out how Brick can save you a ton of
money on your power bills!
