Gigascale Capital has announced the close of its first institutional fund, a $250 million vehicle to back founders rebuilding the physical economy. Founded in 2023 by Mike Schroepfer, Gigascale has already partnered with more than 25 early-stage teams building the energy, materials and infrastructure systems the future demands — technologies that, at scale, can be cheaper, more productive and cleaner than what they replace.
Rapid electrification, industrial reshoring, artificial intelligence (AI) deployment and extreme weather are exposing the limits of physical systems built for a different era. Gigascale is focused on the areas where those constraints are most acute: clean energy and grid infrastructure, the supply chains that support them, and AI applied to the design, manufacturing and deployment of physical systems. Learning curves, automation and scale-driven cost declines make it possible to build and deploy better systems at the speed and scale this moment demands
