About OBM
Nothing short of a revolution.
It’s not an exaggeration to say we are revolutionizing how energy-intensive operations manage their power consumption and computational efficiency. Our flexible load management solutions empower Bitcoin miners, HPC data centers, and power suppliers to achieve levels of energy agility they couldn’t have imagined before – all while maintaining operational excellence.
Our Mission
Provide energy agility to the world’s most innovative industries.
Our Vision
Boundless innovation in an energy-bound world.
The spark behind the revolution.
In the Beginning
What started as a 4 AM frustration became a global game-changer. Former miners Dan Lawrence (CEO) and Jake Luers (CTO), founders of One Bar Mining (OBM), were tired of two-hour drives just to reboot stubborn miners. Their “there’s got to be a smarter way” moment in 2017 birthed Foreman—a remote management tool that would grow far beyond their wildest expectations.
Reimagining Possibility
Armed with battle-tested experience in network security, software engineering, and data science, Dan and Jake didn’t just solve their own headaches—they reimagined what’s possible when cutting-edge technology meets energy optimization. They saw the future: operations that adapt, respond, and thrive in real-time.
Intelligent Evolution
Today, OBM has evolved from solving mining headaches to delivering next-level solutions across energy-intensive industries. We’re the intelligence layer that makes Bitcoin mining, AI training, and HPC data centers not just more efficient, but genuinely smarter.
Pioneering What’s Next
As industries like AI training, Bitcoin mining, and high-performance computing continue to evolve, we’re architecting the future of flexible load management. We’re actively developing next-gen solutions for emerging flexible load applications, including green hydrogen production. Every solution we build helps our customers turn energy challenges into profit opportunities while strengthening grid resilience in an increasingly dynamic world.
