Caitin is a product development firm that specializes in radically improved cooling solutions and high-efficiency wind generation technologies.
What ties these two fields together? Natural fluid flow–and the belief that vortical flow holds the key to efficient energy usage. Caitin’s technology was developed by employing a unique set of
observations about how nature manages the flow of liquids, gases, and heat.
The company is funded by KV (Khosla Ventures). Founded by venture capitalist Vinod Khosla, Khosla Ventures manages a portfolio of cleantech and information technology companies. Caitin’s potential to apply natural design principles to engineer energy efficient products complements Khosla Ventures’ focus on ending U.S. dependence on fossil fuels and reducing CO2 in the environment.
