About

Phaidra builds AI agents that operate at every level of the AI factory tech stack — from the BMS/PMS to the racks to the workload management system — so the entire stack behaves as a single integrated system. Founded in 2019 by Jim Gao, who previously designed the cooling systems that remove heat from the servers in Google's data centers, Phaidra pairs deep AI expertise with mission-critical facility experience. Its mission is to transform AI factories from cost centers into dynamic, revenue-generating powerhouses by maximizing every watt of performance.
