Chad Everett Harris
Chad founded SAVRN to build a different kind of AI infrastructure — factories that power themselves, draw no community water, and leave a school behind.
He was Founder & CEO of Whinstone US, where he built the largest bitcoin-mining facility in North America at the time — 750 MW in Rockdale, Texas — and served as Chief Commercial Officer of Riot Platforms (NASDAQ: RIOT).
He was the first operator to secure a 1 GW interconnect (Corsicana, Texas), deployed 100 MW in a single building, and led the sale of Whinstone to Northern Data for $685M.
What he's building
Self-powered. AI factories that generate their own power and take nothing from the community grid.
Water-free. Closed-loop cooling that uses no community water.
A school, not just a site. Every factory is wrapped in a training institute that reskills the local workforce.
