Host: Romain Tranchant, iMasons Innovation Chair
Underwater data centers. AI that costs more to run than the humans it replaces. Two founders, two very different bets on where AI infrastructure goes next.
In this episode of Meet the Startups, iMasons’ Head of Innovation, Romain Tranchant sits down with two companies from the iMasons Innovation Accelerator:
🔹 Seabase — Rilley McAdams, Co-Founder & CEO
Building subsea AI infrastructure — bringing low-latency, high-density compute into major metro areas by using ports and ocean cooling instead of traditional land-based data centers.
🔹 Mavvrick — Safi Siddiqui, Co-Founder & CTO Building the missing economic layer for AI infrastructure — helping operators track cost, usage and margin across hybrid (cloud + private) environments, down to the cost per token and per agent.
Together, they make the case that the next wave of AI infrastructure isn’t just about building bigger — it’s about building smarter, cheaper, and closer to the people using it.
In this episode:
- Why ports are the next AI infrastructure category
- How subsea compute slashes both CapEx and OpEx
- why “cost per token” is the metric that decides who wins · the hidden economics of running AI hybrid (cloud + private)
- What happens when AI agents start costing more than human employees
- Predictions on GPUs, chips, and where AI infrastructure is headed in 5 years
