Verse announced that it has raised an oversubscribed $54 million Series B funding round led by Bessemer Venture Partners. GV, NVIDIA, Norrsken VC, and others also participated in the round. Verse is an energy infrastructure platform focused on supporting the AI economy.
The company also announced the launch of Dispatch Intelligence, a new offering designed to help data centers get online faster by intelligently orchestrating on-site energy resources alongside existing grid infrastructure.
Verse said power has become a major constraint for AI infrastructure growth, as digital infrastructure is scaling faster than traditional power grids can support. In many regions, developers face generation shortages, transmission bottlenecks, and lengthy interconnection processes that can delay the addition of new data center capacity for years.
Dispatch Intelligence is designed to create a new operating model for data center power access, leveraging on-site energy resources to help facilities become more flexible and grid-responsive without impacting operations or reliability.
Through a strategic partnership with Calibrant Energy, data centers can use battery systems and other technologies to reduce grid utilization during specific periods. Verse said this can help developers accelerate interconnection approvals by years while improving speed-to-power.
The company said Dispatch Intelligence can also reduce overall grid and system costs while providing long-term price stability in increasingly volatile energy markets.
Verse is also integrating Dispatch Intelligence with NVIDIA’s DSX AI Factory reference design, which is intended to accelerate the construction, simulation, and operation of gigascale AI data centers.
Verse’s core platform, Aria, is already used by Fortune 500 companies to manage complex energy portfolios. The platform centralizes utility bills, contracts, and power purchase agreements across thousands of sites, giving customers a unified view of energy data.
By adding Dispatch Intelligence, Verse is expanding from energy management into power access and delivery. The company said the new funding will support continued product development and deployment as demand grows.
Verse expects to onboard more than 100 sites over the next 12 months and expand the scale of on-site battery capacity under its management.
