What Atomarine does

We are building nuclear power delivery ships to power our floating compute barges at sea. Our systems are fully standalone, have better cooling, and avoid all the resource competition that leads to local community opposition. Our centralized manufacturing allows us to deploy anywhere on Earth, four times faster than on land.

Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Floating nuclear powered data centers at sea.

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build nuclear power delivery ships that supply electricity to standalone data center barges floating at sea. Our product combines marine nuclear power generation with modular compute infrastructure. The core of Atomarine is a fully-integrated floating system: a nuclear-powered vessel generates power, and our connected compute barge uses better cooling from ocean water, completely isolated from city grids and local politics. The goal is instant, deploy-anywhere power and compute at massive scale.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and work in San Francisco, CA. We'll stay based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco has a strong hard tech and energy community. Most of our partners, suppliers, and early technical adopters are here; it's the best place to build this company.
