Maxwell Labs is building a new physical platform for cooling — the next device in the lineage of the laser, the LED, and the solar cell. We are making available select investment opportunities to bring photonic cooling to production, and to market.
Market Opportunity
ANYWHERE HEAT
CONSTRAINS CAPABILITY.
Six high-growth sectors with $2.3T combined market cap by 2030 — all thermally constrained. Maxwell Labs' photonic cooling platform addresses each.
What We've Built
OUR PROGRESS TO DATE
From foundational physics to funded prototype — here is what Maxwell Labs has built.
Scientific Foundation
Core physics established. First patents filed. Seed funding + AFRL SBIR grant. TRL 2-3 lab-scale validation.
Team and Partnerships
Prof. Rodriguez joins as Co-Founder & CTO. Sandia CRADA signed. Partnerships with UNM and CINT. IP expanded.
Lab Build-Out and Demo
$9.7M raised. First demo imminent. Optical rooms, lasers, and clean room operational. R&D team growing.
Pilot and Early Access
Functioning pilot demo at scale. Early Access Program for select partners. In-house small-scale manufacturing. First deployments.
Market Strategy
COMPUTING IS
THE BEACHHEAD.
The most urgent thermal crisis is in high-performance computing. We are starting here because the pain is acute and the value proposition is immediate.
AI compute roughly doubles every 18 months, creating sustained and accelerating thermal constraints for large-scale models.
