What Actasys does

Actasys Inc. is a Brooklyn, New York-based hardware technology company founded in 2013 that has developed ActaJet™, a proprietary air-jet cooling system for high-density data center server racks. The product uses turbulent air jets (velocities up to 80 m/s) delivered through an ultra-compact form factor (less than 3mm thick) to provide targeted thermal management for mission-critical components including Network Interface Cards (NICs), Data Processing Units (DPUs), and switches in 1U/2U server environments. Each unit consumes only 2-3W and includes software-driven adaptive cooling logic that responds dynamically to computational load. The company explicitly positions its solution as enabling AI workload infrastructure, citing the thermal constraints of optical cable ports and densely stacked PCBs as primary use cases.

Actasys sells ActaJet™ hardware directly to enterprise data center operators through a consultative enterprise sales motion initiated via its website contact forms, with quote-based pricing and no publicly disclosed tiers. The company serves a single horizontal customer segment — enterprise data center operators managing high-density computing, cloud, communications, and AI infrastructure — and has no disclosed distribution partnerships, resellers, or named customer logos. The company operates from a single headquarters in Brooklyn with a team of 11-50 employees. To date, Actasys has raised approximately $6.35 million across four disclosed funding rounds, including a $5 million round in December 2020 led by Next Gear Ventures and Volvo Cars Tech Fund, with earlier non-dilutive funding from NYSERDA and Cleantech Open. No follow-on financing, partnerships, customer wins, or product expansions have been publicly disclosed since the 2020 round.
