Startup company Bedrock Energy has secured $12 million series A led by Titanium Ventures. Energy Impact Partners, and Sustainable Future Ventures joined alongside existing investors Wireframe Ventures, Overture Ventures, Toba Capital, Elemental Impact, First Star Ventures, and Cantos.

The funding will support continued advancement of Bedrock’s technologies, as well as expanded deployment in Colorado, Utah, and neighboring states.

“Heating and cooling buildings is the largest energy expense in real estate, and geothermal HVAC can cut that energy bill in half, improve resilience, and reduce air pollutants for residents by 90 percent,” said Joselyn Lai, co-founder and CEO, Bedrock Energy.

“Bedrock’s innovations make geothermal installations so affordable that real estate developers and owners across the U.S. can generate a strong financial return and boost their property values, with just their HVAC choice. We’re grateful that our investors share our conviction about unlocking geothermal for widespread scale, and humbled that they consider Bedrock to be the right team for the challenge,” added Lai.

Bedrock Energy has pioneered geothermal design and installation technologies, including advanced subsurface thermal simulation capabilities and an intelligent construction platform for geothermal borefield construction. The company’s deployment teams use these innovations to install geothermal heat pump systems for real estate owners at faster schedule, higher accuracy and performance, and stronger cost efficiencies. These systems can range from single-structure commercial buildings to connected district systems serving multiple lots. By unlocking scalable geothermal heating and cooling as a resilient, always-on category of distributed clean energy, Bedrock aims to save billions of dollars for both property owners and utilities alike.

“Geothermal energy has incredible promise as an always-on, 24/7 carbon-free source of power and heating and cooling. We believe that Bedrock Energy has developed several unique, integrated technologies that will dramatically open up the market for cost efficient geothermal heating and cooling of buildings and change the economics of this industry,” said Mark Sherman, managing partner for Titanium Ventures.

“With lighthouse expertise from the oil and gas sector, highlighted by co-founder and CTO Silviu Livescu’s experience as the Chief Scientist of Pressure Pumping at Baker Hughes, Bedrock is poised for significant growth,” said Albert Bielinko, Titanium Ventures Alumnus.

In addition to energy savings, geothermal heating and cooling has an unparalleled impact on moderating power demand in extreme temperatures, bringing immense value to customers, utilities, and regulators alike. According to Oak Ridge National Laboratory, adoption of geothermal heat pumps in 70 percent of U.S. buildings could avoid seven gigatons of carbon-equivalent emissions by 2050 and save 24,500 miles of transmission line construction by offsetting needs from the power grid.

“Amid the economy-wide trends of electrification across industries, reducing demand will only grow more critical in the years ahead. We need to electrify quickly, yet deliberately; Bedrock exemplifies this approach as well as any company we’ve seen,” said Jenny Gao at Energy Impact Partners.

In 2025, Bedrock plans to deploy new geothermal systems across Colorado, Utah, and other Mountain West states. This expansion builds upon the company’s recently completed project in Morgan County, Utah, and ongoing work on a district geothermal system coming online in 2025 for a new business park in Hayden, Colorado. The latter project is supported by the Colorado Energy Office, Colorado Department of Local Affairs, Northwest Colorado Business District, and Town of Hayden.

“Bedrock has been an excellent partner in the design and planning of our geothermal system. We are excited to leverage their drilling innovations to help us supply resilient geothermal heating and cooling energy for a flagship economic development project in a coal transition community,” said Mathew Mendisco, town manager of Hayden.

“Tapping into renewable subsurface energy right on-site is key to expediting construction timelines, lowering energy costs, and creating resiliency in mountainous regions like ours. Geothermal may be a valuable driver of successful coal transition, and Bedrock will be a key company in making that a reality in Northwest Colorado,” added Mendisco.

Bedrock Energy is a technology company transforming the heating and cooling of buildings, using geothermal energy to radically reduce costs for people and the environment. Bedrock designs, constructs, and delivers geothermal using novel drilling technologies that enable widespread, affordable, and accessible installations of carbon-free geothermal HVAC for urban real estate properties. This allows properties to reduce heating and cooling costs up to 50 percent and cut direct emissions to zero.
