Viraj Aero
YC F26
The Project
Rethinking how we power the AI era.
As AI drives demand for data center infrastructure, Viraj Aero is developing a different approach to power and cooling. Its GENA system combines power generation with water recovery for cooling in one compact unit.
The challenge was to introduce this unfamiliar technology in a way that made its engineering understandable and its potential immediately apparent.
The Approach
Making complex engineering something you can see and understand.
We combined founder-led storytelling with detailed 3D animation to take viewers inside GENA and reveal how the system works.
Rather than relying on technical explanations alone, we used visual storytelling to demonstrate the relationship between power generation, heat, and water recovery. Every sequence was designed to make the technology easier to grasp while giving the product the credibility and presence it deserved.
The Response
