Panthalassa

About

Panthalassa is a public-benefit corporation developing a planetary-scale energy platform that harnesses open-ocean waves to produce clean, sustainable, and ultra-low-cost energy. Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Portland, Oregon, the company has raised a $140 million Series B round to advance its mission of delivering terawatt-scale clean energy generation.

At the core of Panthalassa's approach are autonomous, ocean-based energy nodes. These integrate renewable energy generation with embedded compute, storage, and satellite connectivity, creating a new class of offshore infrastructure. The company's technical work spans renewable energy generation, embedded systems, satellite connectivity, and autonomous systems, positioning it at the intersection of clean energy, offshore infrastructure, and AI computing.

Panthalassa operates under an idea meritocracy model as a public-benefit corporation. The team brings experience from organisations including SpaceX, Google, Blue Origin, Apple, Boeing, and the U.S. military. The company has a pilot deployment on the Oregon Coast.
