“With this funding, we’re scaling at a pace that AI hardware has never seen before–from expanding shipments of our first-generation products to bringing our second generation accelerators to market in 2026,” said Mitesh Agrawal, CEO of Positron. “Our solution is growing rapidly because it outperforms conventional GPUs in both cost and energy efficiency, while delivering AI hardware that eliminates reliance on foreign supply chains.”
Unlike many semiconductor companies that rely on offshore manufacturing, Positron has built a fully American supply chain, ensuring that its AI hardware is designed, fabricated, and assembled within the United States.
Beyond cost savings, Positron’s technology is addressing the growing power constraints of AI infrastructure. Many legacy data centers struggle to support high-power GPUs, which consume as much as 10,000 watts per server—far beyond the capacity of traditional data centers. Positron’s energy-efficient architecture allows these facilities to participate in AI computing without requiring massive infrastructure upgrades.
“The demand for AI compute is skyrocketing, and enterprises are searching for viable alternatives that are energy and cost efficient for the long term,” said Rob Reid, Co-founder of Resilience Reserve. “What sets Positron apart is not just its cost efficiency, but its ability to bring AI hardware to market at an unprecedented speed and provide a high performance per watt. Their innovative approach is enabling businesses to scale AI workloads without the typical barriers of cost and power consumption.”
