What LIVIO does

LIVIO (legal entity Livio Building Systems Inc.) is a U.S.-based construction technology company that engineers and delivers panelized AI data centers under the brand "AI Factory (EPC)." The company serves hyperscalers, AI and GPU cloud operators, and infrastructure partners with site access, compressing the traditional 12–18 month data center build cycle by a claimed 75% through a four-principle operating model: pre-engineered standardized designs, factory-pre-assembled multi-trade infrastructure, parallel long-lead equipment procurement, and a pre-vetted contractor network. Its delivery is organized around three core engines — Livio Grid (browser-based AI site engineering that produces NVIDIA-compliant designs in roughly 30 minutes), Livio Hub (buy-side procurement across dozens of suppliers per category), and Smart Shell (factory-built, panelized multi-trade enclosures with embedded IoT sensing, digital twin capability, and graded ballistic protection). Supporting tools include Livio Power for grid-power site ranking and Livio AI Finance for project financing.

The underlying technology stack combines physics-based engineering simulation, modular power and cooling architectures, and a sensorized building envelope that integrates natively with BMS and DCIM systems (including Metasys). The company controls an inventory of 13 powered-land sites across eight U.S. states, totaling 404 MW of immediately available capacity with 135 MW accessible within six months and 300 MW in expansion pipeline. Headcount is reported at 11–50 employees, and the headquarters is in Los Altos, California. Founder Navneet Aron is identified as founder and CEO; the company was founded in 2013.

The business model is project-based EPC delivery under a single-contract, single-liable-party structure, with custom pricing that varies by site, power source, and configuration across standardized 2.5/5/10/20 MW modules. Revenue streams span full AI Factory EPC delivery, dedicated project financing through Livio AI Finance, and transaction facilitation fees from the Off-takers / Available Land marketplace. Go-to-market is exclusively direct enterprise sales targeting hyperscalers and GPU cloud operators, with public browser-based tools (Grid, Hub, Power) serving as top- and mid-funnel qualification surfaces and Calendly-driven discovery calls converting prospects into custom EPC proposals.

Revenue model

1. AI Factory EPC (End-to-End): Full-service Engineering, Procurement, and Construction delivery of AI data centers from raw land to operational compute. Single contract, single liable party model covering site engineering, procurement, panelized construction, power/cooling infrastructure, and compute commissioning. Revenue derived from project-based EPC fees with performance-based pricing structure.
2. Project Financing: Dedicated AI infrastructure financing with flexible terms for rapid scaling, provided through Livio AI Finance. Revenue likely generated through financing arrangements with customers building AI factories on their land.
3. Powered Land Transactions: Matching service connecting land owners with verified power/fiber/site control to active buyers (hyperscalers, GPU cloud teams). May include transaction facilitation fees for land sales or leases matched through the platform.

Core offering

LIVIO delivers end-to-end Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) services for AI data center factories, converting raw land into operational AI compute campuses 75% faster than traditional construction methods. The company combines pre-engineered designs, factory-built panelized Smart Shell enclosures, automated procurement via Livio Hub, and AI-powered site engineering via Livio Grid into a single accountable delivery contract, serving hyperscalers, GPU cloud operators, and infrastructure off-takers with 1-100+ MW deployments built on standardized 2.5/5/10/20 MW modules.

Product overview

LIVIO offers a unified AI data center infrastructure platform built around its AI Factory (EPC) core offering. The platform consists of three integrated engines: Livio Grid (AI-powered engineering and underwriting), Livio Hub (buy-side procurement sourcing), and Livio Smart Shell (panelized building envelope with embedded sensing and ballistic protection). Supporting tools include Livio Power for site power assessment and Livio AI Finance for project financing. The entire system is engineered to deliver AI compute campuses 75% faster than traditional construction using standardized 2.5/5/10/20 MW modules with a 50+ year design life.
