Grid-ready for AI data centers and beyond

In the room

Novos Power — showcase

Novos Power is building power infrastructure for AI data centers using its Variable Airgap Solid State Transformer technology, positioned around speed, reliability, scalability, and direct utility-feed interconnects.

Novos Power was showcased at SF Playground—one of the most voted startups on the floor.

The challenge

AI data centers face megawatt-scale, millisecond-level power swings that strain legacy power delivery systems and create infrastructure bottlenecks.

  • AI data centers face megawatt-scale power swings
  • Legacy 480V transformer architectures create constraints
  • Power infrastructure needs faster dynamic response and higher density delivery

Our role

SF Playground featured Novos Power as a participating startup in Pitch Playoffs 002.

  • Participating startup in Pitch Playoffs 002
  • Physical product showcased at the event

The experience

Novos Power’s public site frames the company around grid-ready infrastructure for AI data centers, grounded in DOE- and NASA-funded research.

The impact

The company’s public materials emphasize scalable, high-density power delivery and direct 13 to 48 kV utility-feed interconnects for next-generation compute infrastructure.

Novos Power left with real connections and momentum—not just a pitch slot.

  • Targets AI data center power infrastructure
  • Built around Variable Airgap Solid State Transformer technology
  • Public site references DOE- and NASA-funded research
  • Public site references 300+ peer-reviewed publications and 30+ issued patents behind the foundation

Why this matters

Novos Power illustrates how the event can attract infrastructure startups working on a critical bottleneck for AI growth: power delivery.
