Electronics Cooling Startup Nuventix Raises $14M

Nuventix, a startup that sells a cooling technology for consumer electronics and LED lighting systems, says it has raised $14 million led by Advanced Technology Ventures and including Braemar Energy Ventures. The Austin-based company says its technology, which uses quick pulses of air, is more efficient and requires less power than competing options like a conventional fan.

Nuventix says it will use the funding to add products for outdoor markets like telecom equipment and outdoor lighting. The company raised its first round of funding back in 2005 from Centerpoint Ventures, InterWest Partners, and Rho Ventures. The company was founded out of the Georgia Institute of Technology by Ari Glezer, Sam Heffington and Raghav Mahalingam with the goal of “removing more heat with less air.”

The company’s pulsating air flow system uses less air movement than traditional cooling systems, resulting in a tech that is not only more efficient and lower power, but quieter, too. It could also give a boost to the LED lighting market, which has been held back by heat issues.
