Modular dew-point water-cooling systems for new and existing data centers.
Overview
Madrone develops modular water-cooling equipment for data centers, targeting new hyperscale builds and retrofit capacity expansion. Its system is designed to cool facility water toward the dew point without a mechanical chiller, reducing the power and water consumed by conventional chiller-and-cooling-tower configurations. The company integrates electronics, heat exchangers and controls in-house and is developing the technology through kilowatt- and 100-kilowatt-scale prototypes. Founded in 2025 by Akshay Trikha and Erik Meike, Madrone is based in San Francisco, participated in Y Combinator’s Spring 2026 batch and reports a two-person core team. No named customer deployment or annual revenue has been publicly disclosed.
