Orbital Industries Raises $50M Series B To Scale AI-Powered Data Centre Hardware

The round was led by Plural, with participation from NVentures (NVIDIA), Radical Ventures, Compound, and Fly Ventures.

Founded in 2022, Orbital Industries builds physical infrastructure using its proprietary AI simulation engine, “Orb,” which models atomic-level behavior to design advanced data centre hardware and next-generation cooling systems.

Its innovations include modular high-density infrastructure and non-toxic, PFAS-free dielectric cooling fluids designed to prevent GPU overheating in AI workloads.

The company is led by co-founder and CEO Jonathan Godwin, CTO James Gin-Pollock, and COO Daniel Miodovnik, and brings together expertise spanning AI research, engineering, and industrial design. Orbital operates with a team of around 50 specialists across Europe and North America.

Orbital has also established a multi-year collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to advance thermal management technologies for large-scale computing infrastructure.

The new funding will be used to scale commercial deployment of its data centre products, expand teams in London and San Francisco, and accelerate development of its AI simulation platform for broader industrial applications beyond data centres.

Jonathan Godwin, co-founder and CEO of Orbital Industries, says: “When people imagine a better future, they think about physical things: technologies that give them more freedom, more time, more life. AI will get us there faster. That’s what we set out to do at Orbital Industries.”
