History

Validus was founded in 2002 when Data Support Associates, Inc. (DSA), a company co-founded by Validus DC Systems’ founder and CEO, Rudy Kraus, provided $4 million of seed capital to start the company and begin development of Validus’ end-to-end DC-power solution for data centers.

The Validus DC solution was developed in partnership with Dr. Marcel Gaudreau, former head of Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center. The final offering is the result of 5 years of development and more than 100,000 team hours.
