About Rune
a. Rune, develops modular direct-current data centers for renewable-energy sites. The company was co-founded by William Layden (CEO as of 2026) and Varun Palivela., and Logos Fund, Union Square Ventures, Vestas and Lowercarbon Capital. Rune develops Renewable Energy Linked Interruptible Compute (RELIC), modular direct-current data centers installed behind the inverter at solar and wind plants. The systems use surplus or curtailed electricity for AI training, simulations, data processing and lower-carbon bitcoin computing, with software controls that respond to available generation. Rune performs computational workloads using surplus renewable electricity, while its installations enable renewable-power operators to increase electricity sales that would otherwise be lost through curtailment, clipping or outages.
