MALIBU, Calif., March 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PADO AI Orchestration, an energy orchestration software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform backed by LG NOVA, LG Electronics' North America Innovation Center, today announced the close of a $6 Million Seed Round led by NovaWave Capital, an LG NOVA-supported fund. PADO will utilize the funding to advance initiatives within product delivery and global market growth to drive penetration within the mid-market colocation data center segment.

PADO leverages artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to orchestrate power, compute and cooling infrastructure and distributed energy resources (DERs) across the white space and gray space for data centers in order to maximize Compute per Megawatt™, and in turn, increase profitability, enhance resilience and improve operational efficiency.

​​The platform's core features are designed to offer:

Intelligent Workload Shifting: Maximize compute throughput by using real-time analysis with AI- and ML-driven recommendations to orchestrate the timing and location of compute for dynamic job scheduling and improved job packing

Precision Cooling: Increase density by placing workloads where thermal headroom exists via enhanced zonal control

DER Monetization: Enables intelligently triggered energy ...
