AI infrastructure company Granite has secured €4
million in funding in a round led by Bifrost Studios, alongside private investors, to commercialise its
technology and bring its software and hardware together for customers.
The company is building what it calls an “agentic
cloud”, infrastructure designed specifically for AI agents rather than adapted
for them. Its platform combines compute, storage and networking with Granite’s
own operating and AI orchestration software.
Granite delivers its infrastructure through modular
datacentres, consisting of containerised units that house compute, storage and
networking and can be deployed where power is available. The company offers its
infrastructure through cloud services as well as dedicated systems that
organisations can operate under their own control.
The platform also includes a layer for managing AI
agents, providing them with memory, permissions and tools. According to
Granite, this approach is designed to give organisations greater control over
where their AI workloads run and the underlying technology they use.
AI is moving from answering questions to carrying
out work. That changes what businesses need from the infrastructure behind it.
We are building Granite so organisations have a genuine choice about where
their AI runs, who controls the underlying technology and how they develop
their AI capabilities over time,
said Peter Damm, CEO of Granite.
The new funding will support the commercialisation
of the technology, including bringing Granite’s software and hardware together
to deliver AI infrastructure to customers.
