Mueon Secures $65 Million to Reinvent Data Center Construction

From October 20 to 22, along the banks of Shanghai's Huangpu River, the 2026 Sustainable Global Leaders Conference returns once again. Nobel Prize and Turing Award winners will take the stage to discuss the future and trends of technology, and the internet-famous professor who "rescues" people from anxiety and the era of involution—Macfarlane—will hold a live dialogue with Xiang Biao!

The Portland-based startup Mueon has completed $65 million in financing to develop an entirely new AI server rack component layout architecture. The company says that under the same power supply conditions, this design can achieve up to ten times the computing power of existing data center solutions, potentially alleviating the power supply and machine room capacity bottlenecks facing global AI chips.

This funding round was led by Maverick Silicon, with participation from Intel Capital, Wellington Capital, and other institutions. The company declined to disclose its valuation and currently has no revenue.

Mueon's product, called Cubelet, is an alternative to traditional AI server architectures. The product highly integrates computing units, memory, power supply, and network components into modular units. Most existing designs, including Nvidia's server solutions, distribute some components in different locations on the rack.

To support higher computing power density, Cubelet uses low-voltage power supply and double-sided cooling, differing from the industry's commonly used single-sided cooling solutions. Customers can bring their own AI chips and have Mueon assemble them into Cubelet modules.

Company CEO Wilfred Gomes founded Mueon in 2025 and has 30 years of microprocessor design experience at Intel. Gomes said: "The future direction of the industry is what I call the composable data center, where various hardware components can be freely mixed and matched at the data center level."
