Bluecore Energy押注浮动小型模块化反应堆驳船为港口供电；获1000万美元种子前融资，首艘驳船已交付

做的是什么生意

Bluecore Energy builds compact water-cooled small modular reactors on floating barges, initially a 10 MWe unit, to supply clean power to ports, communities, and data centers via subsea cables.

启动资金：$10M pre-seed led by Slauson & Co.

起因

Kofi Asante, a former Uber Freight employee, founded Bluecore Energy about seven months before its July 2026 launch, headquartered at the Port of Long Beach. His bet: AI-driven power demand is outrunning the grid, so the fastest path is moving generation to the load by sea rather than building new transmission.

经过

Bluecore raised a $10M pre-seed led by Slauson & Co. with Harlem Capital, Precursor Ventures, Visible Hands, LMNT, Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen, and Kevin Hart's HartBeat Ventures. It secured a port terminal, barge, and test reactor pressure vessel, then delivered its first barge and an electric test reactor to the Port of Long Beach in July 2026 and began component testing while working through engineering, regulatory, and classification requirements.

可借鉴之处

当电网建设缓慢且需求集中时，切入点在于移动性：将成熟的发电技术运到客户那里，而不是等待输电基础设施跟上。
