Netris Secures $15M Series A From a16z for AI Network

Netris, a provider of network automation software for AI infrastructure, has raised $15 million in Series A funding led by Andreessen Horowitz, the company announced Tuesday.

The round comes after Netris said it recorded 800% annual recurring revenue growth and more than 35 live deployments over the past 12 months. AI cloud operators are standardizing on the company's NAAM platform, which handles network orchestration and multi-tenancy, with automation across Ethernet configurations including NVIDIA Spectrum-X and Quantum InfiniBand, as well as NVL72 setups.

Netris said its platform lets operators launch GPU clouds in weeks and provision tenants with isolation configured automatically, while keeping GPU utilization high by reallocating capacity across tenants. The network layer is often the bottleneck in AI clusters, the company argued, and its software aims to turn GPUs into revenue faster.

The investment from a16z comes as hyperscalers and neoclouds race to build out AI capacity. Netris competes in a niche that has drawn attention, and the company said it counts 35 live deployments, making it the most widely deployed network automation platform for AI clusters.

Netris is based in Santa Clara, California.
