Niv-AI

Niv-AI is a Tel Aviv-based startup (founded May 2025, $12M seed) that deploys rack-level sensors and software to manage millisecond-scale GPU power surges in data centers, recovering up to 30% of throttled compute performance. Its technology is directly relevant to the infrastructure economics facing fashion retailers scaling AI workloads on cloud or co-located GPU fleets. The problem it addresses — power capping that silently throttles GPU utilization during burst workloads — is pervasive in hyperscale and co-located facilities but largely invisible to tenants billed by compute hour. For fashion companies running inference-heavy applications such as visual search, recommendation, or image generation at scale, recoverable throttle loss translates directly into either overpayment or degraded model latency.
