Atomarine

About

Atomarine is a Seed-stage company founded in 2026 and backed by Y Combinator. The firm designs and manufactures floating data center platforms, an approach intended to bypass terrestrial grid interconnection bottlenecks for high-performance computing. Its core technology involves standardized barges cooled directly by seawater and powered by dedicated nuclear vessels, enabling rapid deployment in any marine location globally.

The company's single platform is modeled to achieve a power usage effectiveness (PUE) of around 1.1, with a capacity of 75 MW per barge. By mooring barges side-by-side, campuses can be scaled to over 450 MW. This infrastructure serves the AI, cloud computing, and broader data center sectors.

Technical work at Atomarine spans offshore platform engineering, maritime cooling systems, and power systems integration. The company's focus is on scalability and rapid, location-agnostic deployment of high-performance computing resources.
