ZutaCore is an Israeli startup that makes direct liquid cooling systems for AI data centers, using water-based cooling applied directly to chips to remove heat more efficiently than traditional air cooling. The technology is designed to handle the extreme thermal loads generated by high-density GPU clusters used in AI training and inference workloads.

The $600 million valuation on a $100 million Series C signals that investors are placing large bets on liquid cooling as a necessary infrastructure layer for AI data centers, not an optional upgrade. As GPU power densities climb well beyond what air cooling can handle, direct liquid cooling providers are becoming bottleneck solvers for operators trying to pack more compute into existing facilities. This round sets a concrete valuation benchmark for the direct liquid cooling segment at a time when the market is attracting competing startups and established HVAC players alike.
