Stage 1
Closed-Loop Geothermal Cooling System for Data Center
Newest Patent pending
The Problem:
Data centers are quietly becoming one of the most water-intensive industries on the planet. A single hyperscale facility burns through 300,000–500,000 gallons of fresh water every day — not through use, but through evaporation. It's gone forever. As AI workloads explode and facilities scale to meet demand, this problem compounds: the same regions most attractive for data center development — the American Southwest, Western Europe, Southeast Asia — are experiencing their worst drought conditions in recorded history. Regulators are beginning to act, and the window for business-as-usual is closing fast.
The Market Gap:
The industry knows it has a water problem. What it lacks is a commercially viable solution. Air cooling can't handle modern rack densities. Liquid cooling recycles heat but doesn't eliminate water dependency. Evaporative systems are the very source of the problem. No one has cracked zero-water cooling at industrial scale — until now.
The Solution:
Behind the Meter's Geo System is a closed-loop geothermal cooling platform that eliminates water consumption entirely. The core insight is simple: at depths of 300–500 feet, the earth maintains a constant 50–60°F year-round — a stable, inexhaustible heat sink that asks nothing in return. We circulate a specialized coolant through sealed high-density polyethylene loops running between the data center and a geothermal bore field underground. Heat flows from servers into the coolant, from the coolant into the earth. Nothing evaporates. Nothing is consumed. The same principle has powered automotive cooling systems reliably for over a century — we've engineered it for industrial scale.
Why Now:
Three forces are converging: surging AI-driven power demand, tightening municipal water restrictions in major data center markets, and ESG mandates from hyperscalers like Microsoft, Google, and Amazon who have made water-positive commitments they cannot currently meet. This isn't a future regulatory risk — it's a present operational one. The customer urgency is real and growing by the quarter.
The Opportunity:
The global data center cooling market exceeds $20 billion annually and is projected to double within the decade. Zero-water solutions command a premium, and switching costs — once a bore field is installed — are extremely high, creating durable, recurring revenue. We are entering a market where the incumbent technology is becoming legally and reputationally untenable, with no credible competitor at scale.
What We're Raising:
Behind the Meter is raising $50,000,000 to secure and protect our IP portfolio, execute the first three licensed deployments, and build the sales and technical support infrastructure to scale rapidly. Our go-to-market model is capital-light by design: data centers license the Geo System technology for $1.5M per facility — they own the installation, we own the IP. With over 8,000 hyperscale and colocation facilities operating globally, and thousands more under development, even modest market penetration represents hundreds of millions in high-margin licensing revenue. The first license pays back a significant portion of our raise.
The tenth makes the model undeniable.

Behind the Meter Inc. — The Electric Billing Agent of the 21st Century
The Problem
American commercial and industrial businesses collectively consume 61% of the nation's electricity — nearly 2.3 trillion kWh annually — and they are almost entirely dependent on utility monopolies for every kilowatt. They have no leverage, no alternatives, and no protection from rates that have risen every decade without exception. The renewable energy industry, for its part, has spent the last twenty years chasing residential rooftops and utility-scale solar farms. The commercial and industrial sector has been
left behind — overcharged and underserved.
The Model
Behind the Meter Inc. enters as the Electric Billing Agent of the 21st Century. We own and install a proprietary behind-the-meter generation system — combining solar, wind, hydrogen fuel cells, and energy storage — directly at the customer's facility. The customer stays connected to the grid. Nothing about their operations changes. But their electric bill does. BTM becomes their billing agent for a 10-year term, based on a 3-year average of their historical bills. We charge them less than the utility does — guaranteed — and we pay the utility ourselves for any grid power consumed above what our system produces. The customer pays us. We handle everything else.
The discount structure is straightforward and escalating:
The Market Opportunity
U.S. electricity consumption reached 3.9 trillion kWh in 2021 and has grown every year since. Commercial and industrial customers represent $180B+ in annual electricity spend. The renewable energy industry has largely ignored this segment in favor of residential and utility-scale projects. BTM is targeting the gap — methodically, commercially, and at scale.
With 10-year contracts, predictable billing spreads, and owned generation assets appreciating in value, BTM builds a compounding portfolio of energy revenue streams with every installation. In five years, BTM is positioned to become the largest commercial and industrial energy billing agent in North America.
Why This Works
BTM is opening its investment round now, ahead of a planned public offering. This is the earliest — and most advantageous — entry point for investors who see what we see: a $180 billion market, a broken incumbent model,
and a technology stack that makes the alternative irresistible.

Why This Works
- The technology is proven. Solar, wind, hydrogen fuel cells, and battery storage are mature, cost-declining technologies.
- The customer takes zero risk. They stay on the grid, pay less, and sign nothing that exposes them to supply disruption.
- BTM captures the spread between what it costs to generate power and what it would have cost the customer to buy it — a spread that widens as utility rates rise.
- Long-term contracts create durable, recurring revenue that compounds as the portfolio grows.
