AI and a reindustrializing economy have scaled beyond our ability to build power. The bottleneck isn't demand, it's how slowly turbines get built. Stone reshapes the economics of power by designing around the critical bottlenecks to manufacture at scale, so generation can finally catch up. A new kind of hardware company, building a new kind of turbine.
It started in a textile factory in North Carolina. Electricity ran nearly 30% of the cost of goods, and customers could still get a better price from China, India, and Malaysia, 5 to 15% cheaper. That sent us hunting for any way to generate power onsite. The need was blunt: power "too cheap to meter." The 1960s promised exactly that with the nuclear revolution, and it fell flat. That felt like a problem worth solving. A few years and a lot of hardware shipped at various tech companies later, we pieced together our shot. The turbine industry has changed drastically over the last 12 months. It moved right out from under the incumbents, and right into Stone's hands.
GPU production is scaling faster than power generation.
Within a few years, the US is going to have GPUs sitting idle because we can't energize them fast enough. People say you can't get a turbine before 2030. Stone Power is the solution. We will have gigawatts of energy delivered before 2030 and will be the catalyst for enabling energy abundance.
“You cannot buy a new gas turbine until 2030. Order books at GE, Siemens, and Mitsubishi stretch to 2029. Turbine prices have tripled since 2019.” — Gaurab Chakrabarti, CEO Solugen · April 29, 2026 · View on X →
Stone Power designs, builds, deploys and services large industrial turbines.
Turbines carry 79% of the world's electricity, yet no one has designed a new one in three decades. We cut cost and lead time through simpler design and our own manufacturing, with service built in from day one.
Growing rapidly to meet our customer's demand.
Thank you to Brayton Williams, Erik Bruckner, and many others for the help getting this idea off the ground. Stone has raised a pre-seed from Boost VC and Forward Deployed VC. Stone's founding team has decades of experience delivering power turbines, and even more in space and defense hardware. Every founding employee has shipped hardware at scale, and we keep doing it for the love of the game. We know how to go from 0 to 1 and 1 to N, because we've actually done it.
