Overview
Company Does Not Provide H1B Sponsorship
Orbital Materials creates AI-powered materials engineering tools for industrial use, starting with data centers. Its platform speeds discovery, synthesis, and testing, with LINUS designing novel structures and Orb simulating them at quantum-level speed and accuracy. This design-before-experiment approach shortens development from years to months and enables bespoke materials for specific applications, supported by partnerships with AWS, NVIDIA, and Civo. The goal is to decarbonize data centers through efficient cooling, carbon capture, and water-saving materials, with plans to expand to other industrial sectors.

Simplify's Take
What believers are saying
- June 2026 Series B raised $50 million, led by Plural, funding expansion.
- AWS's multi-year partnership and Civo pilot put Orbital in live data centers.
- Orbital IT now sells cooling fluids and modular systems for AI infrastructure.
What critics are saying
- Orbital's customers are concentrated in hyperscalers, so one lost pilot hurts revenue.
- Competing liquid-cooling vendors and in-house cloud teams can replicate narrow wins fast.
- A failed AWS rollout would strand Orbital's AI platform and hardware thesis.
What makes Orbital Materials unique
- Orbital's Orb model and LINUS stack compress materials discovery from years to months.
- Its 2026 rebrand to Orbital Industries ties software directly to deployable data-center hardware.
- AWS and NVIDIA partnerships validate technical credibility in hyperscale infrastructure.

Fly Ventures has closed its €80 million Fund III. It follows its €53 million Fund II and €35 million Fund I. The Firm addresses a critical gap in the European funding landscape for deep tech founders. “If you are a deeply technical founder or working on a hard technical problem in Europe, your funding options at the inception stage mostly suck,” stated Gabriel Matuschka. Founders often find it frustrating to simplify their pitches for investors who apply generic SaaS logic to everything. This approach can be harmful, especially in the early stages of deep tech development
Amazon Web Services (AWS) has announced a multi-year partnership with Orbital Materials to accelerate the development of advanced technologies aimed at decarbonising and improving the efficiency of data centres.
