Mike Schroepfer Raises $250M for Gigascale Fund to Invest in Energy and Infrastructure

Friends, I’d like to share a climate-tech update: Gigascale, founded by former Meta CTO Mike Schroepfer, has raised a $250M fund.

Why it matters:
- The fund targets energy, grid infrastructure and critical minerals — a bet on the 'physical economy.'
- Rising electricity demand driven by AI and electrification is creating a capacity shortfall; startups offering low-cost, flexible generation or infrastructure gain an edge.
- Gigascale prioritizes speed, reliability and low cost — climate impact as a byproduct of superior performance.

Why this is important: investments in power and grid are critical to scaling clean tech and AI.
