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.

- NVIDIA’s NVentures joined Orbital’s $50 million Series B on May 28, 2026.
- Orbital’s direct-to-chip cooling targets 600kW racks and select partners now.
What critics are saying
- Orbital’s cooling systems ship in 2027, delaying revenue against entrenched incumbents.
- Orbital disclosed no revenue, leaving commercialization unproven despite AWS and NVIDIA ties.
- A failed AWS pilot by end-2025 would damage Orbital’s credibility and fundraising.
What makes Orbital Materials unique
- Jonathan Godwin, James Gin-Pollock, and Daniel Miodovnik built Orbital Materials in 2022.

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.
