# Powering AI: Energy, Infrastructure, and the Next Compute Bottleneck **Date de l'événement :** 30/04/2026 * Publié le 30/04/2026 ### Date 30/04/2026 ### Galerie d'image ![1.png](https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/memory-ai.appspot.com/o/prod%2FrKxsdSTpqCfzIFY8Y2hg%2FprojectsMedias%2FspcVFR1zx0o6dmJbJsiU%2Fthumbs%2F1_1600x900.png?alt=media&token=66fdcc34-aa08-4fb9-bc03-9865404d888e) ### Ville `#Seattle` ## Description How power, materials, and industrial systems are shaping the next phase of AI AI isn’t just constrained by chips anymore. It’s constrained by the physical world — power availability, utility timelines, cooling, transformers, critical materials, and the industrial infrastructure required to bring new capacity online. For builders, operators, and investors in the intelligence stack, the question is shifting from Can we train it? to Can we power it — reliably, affordably, and fast enough to matter? Hosted by 9Zero and AI Collective, this event brings together founders, operators, and investors to explore how physical constraints are beginning to shape the next phase of AI — and why climate and infrastructure may matter more to the future of AI than many investors currently assume. Featured conversation Featuring Jonathan Azoff, Co-Founder and General Partner at SNØCAP, a deeptech venture firm backing companies building the materials, molecules, and machines that power modern industry. Jonathan brings an engineer-operator and investor perspective to the commercialization, cost-curve, and supply-chain realities behind AI infrastructure. This conversation will explore: where physical bottlenecks are beginning to shape AI deployment how power, materials, and industrial systems are changing the AI landscape which parts of the infrastructure stack may become more venture-backable what kinds of founders and technologies at this intersection are actually financeable whether the climate-tech ecosystem may hold unique insight into the next chapter of AI Rather than a purely technical discussion, this is a conversation about the emerging market map: where constraints are forming, where value may accrue, and what investors, founders, and operators should be paying attention to now. Who this is for Founders, operators, investors, and ecosystem builders working across AI, energy, deeptech, and industrial climate — including allocators tracking where climate and AI infrastructure may begin to converge. Participants and invitees span Seattle’s ecosystem across AI, climate, and venture communities. Format Featured conversation, audience Q&A, and curated networking. A room of founders, funders, operators, researchers, and infrastructure thinkers. Limited seats. RSVP to join us. About Jonathan Azoff Jonathan Azoff is Co-Founder and General Partner at SNØCAP, a deeptech venture firm founded in 2023 by engineers backing companies building the materials, molecules, and machines that power modern industry. He brings an engineer-operator perspective to commercialization, industrial systems, and what it takes for hardtech companies to become venture-scale. Jonathan is also an investor in 9Zero. About 9Zero 9Zero is a community and convening platform for founders, investors, scientists, and operators building across energy, materials, industrial systems, and climate technology. In Seattle, 9Zero is part of the Seattle Climate Innovation Hub, a partnership with the City of Seattle’s Office of Economic Development, UW CoMotion Labs, and VertueLab.
