Vapor IO
Vapor IO is an Edge Hardware & Micro Data Centers company founded in 2014 and based in Austin, United States. It has raised $100M in total funding, most recently a Series C in 2018.
Vapor IO, founded in 2014 and headquartered in Austin, Texas, designs and operates clusters of automated micro data centers positioned near fiber intersections and wireless aggregation hubs to deliver low-latency edge colocation, networking, and interconnection. The company was founded by Cole Crawford (CEO), Steve White, and Andrew Cencini, and its Kinetic Grid platform spans dozens of U.S. markets, combining colocation, networking, and interconnection into an edge-to-edge system; it has since layered on a network-delivered AI inference offering branded Zero Gap AI. Vapor IO raised a roughly $90 million Series C in 2018 led by Berkshire Partners with participation from Crown Castle, bringing total disclosed funding above $100 million.
Vapor IO pioneered the micro-data-center-at-the-tower model that pushes compute and AI inference physically closer to users and devices, a building block for latency-sensitive edge workloads.
