Zendo Launches to Decarbonize Data Centers Amid Rising AI Energy Demands

After a year in stealth, Zendo has officially launched with a mission to help data centers prepare for the future of AI computing while dramatically reducing their carbon footprint. Co-founded by climate-conscious technologists including Drew Barrett, Zendo emerges at a time when emissions from major cloud providers are surging — driven by the escalating power needs of AI workloads.

Backed by Fly Ventures, Pact, Octopus Ventures, and industry angels, Zendo’s platform equips data centers to adapt to unpredictable AI demand and volatile renewable energy markets. CEO and co-founder said Zendo was created to address the growing disconnect between AI innovation and its environmental cost, aiming to position data infrastructure at the center of climate action.
