HeatVX

What HeatVX does

HeatVX is a pure-software thermal AI analytics platform that connects to existing thermal cameras, IR sensors, building management systems, and IoT devices (FLIR, Fluke, Hikvision, Modbus) to deliver AI-powered thermal inspection, 72-hour failure forecasting, real-time cooling optimization, and a real-time thermal digital twin. The company targets the AI data center cooling crisis — GPU rack densities are projected to scale from 15kW to 100kW+ (with 500kW projections) while cooling already consumes 40% of data center energy — and positions itself as the analytics "brain" that complements hardware vendors selling cameras and sensors. The product is organized into five modular tiers: HeatVX Scan ($2.5k/mo, AI thermal inspection), HeatVX Predict ($5k/mo, 72-hour failure forecasting), HeatVX Optimize ($7.5k/mo, real-time cooling control), HeatVX DataCenter ($20k/mo, hyperscale AI cooling), and HeatVX Enterprise (custom, full platform with multi-site data center coordination).

The underlying technology is a multi-model AI architecture that routes inference across proprietary in-house thermal models, third-party foundation models (OpenAI, Anthropic), and edge inference, processing thermal image, video, and structured IoT time-series data. HeatVX is SOC2 Type 2 certified with on-prem and VPC deployment options. The company is headquartered in San Francisco, was founded in 2024, has 11–50 employees, operates a live fleet of 247 connected sensors with 99.99% uptime, and reports customer outcomes of 78% chiller incident reduction, 30% PUE reduction in 90 days, and 11-day deployment cycles versus 6-month SCADA retrofits.

The business model is a tiered SaaS subscription ranging from $2.5k to $20k+ per month, sold through a hybrid go-to-market that combines direct enterprise field sales (with a 30-day ROI-guaranteed pilot and "Book a Demo" CTA) for hyperscalers and large data center operators, and a product-led growth self-serve entry for mid-market customers. The company is privately held and venture-backed, with disclosed funding of $150,000 led by Red Queen Fund with participation from Odra Venture as of November 2025.

Core offering

HeatVX is a pure-software thermal intelligence platform that connects to any thermal camera or IoT sensor (FLIR, Fluke, Hikvision, Modbus) and applies multi-model AI to deliver automated thermal inspection, 72-hour failure forecasting, real-time autonomous cooling control, and a 3D thermal digital twin. It is sold as a tiered SaaS subscription targeting AI and hyperscale data centers and industrial facilities.

Product overview

HeatVX is a pure-software thermal intelligence platform providing AI-powered cooling optimization for data centers. The platform operates on a modular architecture consisting of five products: HeatVX Scan (AI thermal inspection at $2.5k/mo), HeatVX Predict (72-hour failure forecasting at $5k/mo), HeatVX Optimize (real-time cooling control at $7.5k/mo), HeatVX DataCenter (AI cooling for hyperscalers at $20k/mo), and HeatVX Enterprise (full platform with DC coordination at custom pricing). Each product works standalone but is designed to function as an integrated thermal intelligence operating system when combined.

Direct peers

• Vigilent: Vigilent applies AI and machine learning to dynamically optimize data center cooling in real time, directly competing with HeatVX's Optimize module. Both target hyperscale and colocation data centers with software-only cooling optimization that integrates with existing sensor infrastructure.
• BrainBox AI: BrainBox AI uses deep learning for HVAC and building thermal optimization with autonomous control, closely aligned with HeatVX's Optimize and Predict capabilities. Both sell AI-driven thermal intelligence as a software layer over existing building/HVAC sensors.
• Carbon Relay (now JLL): Carbon Relay developed AI for data center cooling optimization (acquired by JLL), competing directly with HeatVX's hyperscaler cooling offering. Both use ML to reduce PUE and predict thermal events in enterprise data center environments.
• 75F: 75F provides IoT and AI-based smart HVAC control with predictive capabilities, mirroring HeatVX's hardware-agnostic, sensor-driven thermal optimization approach. Both target commercial facilities with cloud-managed AI thermal control platforms.

Broad incumbents

• Honeywell Building Technologies: Honeywell offers BMS, HVAC controls, and energy optimization software for commercial buildings and data centers, overlapping with HeatVX's industrial and enterprise segments. Represents a broad incumbent threat with deep installed base and procurement relationships.
• Schneider Electric: Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure platform provides data center infrastructure management (DCIM) including cooling monitoring and AI-driven optimization. A partner of HeatVX but also a potential competitor with comprehensive BMS/data center software offerings.
• Vertiv: Vertiv is a major data center infrastructure provider offering thermal management hardware (cooling, chillers) and increasingly software/bundled services. Listed as a HeatVX partner but also a credible competitor with deep customer relationships and bundled offering economics.

Emerging players

• Iceotope Technologies: Iceotope provides liquid cooling solutions for high-density data centers, addressing the same 100kW+ AI rack thermal challenge as HeatVX. While primarily hardware-focused, Iceotope's Precision Liquid Cooling represents an alternative architectural approach to the thermal problem HeatVX solves in software.
• Submer: Submer specializes in immersion cooling for hyperscale and high-performance computing data centers. Competes with HeatVX for the same customer wallet share addressing AI rack thermal management, but via a fundamentally different cooling modality.
• ZutaCore: ZutaCore offers direct-on-chip liquid cooling technology for data centers, targeting the same high-density AI workload thermal problem. Represents an alternative technological pathway to managing the 100kW+ era HeatVX addresses through software analytics.
