Mavria, a Texas company that says it will manufacture data centers instead of building them as one-off construction projects, said it has raised $130 million to date at a $1 billion valuation^1,2.

Techmeme summarized a Wall Street Journal report by Jennifer Hiller that the money came across pre-seed and seed rounds, that Paradigm led, and that Mavria aims to build modular data centers that can be shipped by truck¹.

In a company post, co-founder and chief executive Adam Blake said the latest round values Mavria at $1 billion and was led by Paradigm, with participation from AMP PBC, Liquid 2, Critical Frontier, and Dream Ventures².

Blake wrote that the first product, Terrain, is a factory-built data center platform meant to bring compute online faster and at more predictable cost, aimed at frontier labs, cloud providers, and data center developers².

He said Terrain 01 is in production in Houston and that the company is using the capital on supply chains, manufacturing, and hiring².

Blake said he and co-founders Nick Poradek and Seth Cohen worked together at the U.S. Department of Energy before starting the company².

Mavria did not name customers or give delivery timelines in the announcement².
