Eridu is building an AI networking solution, designed from the ground up for scale-out and scale-up networks in AI data centers. Eridu’s network switch delivers the order-of-magnitude advance in performance, radix and throughput needed to maximize utilization, throughput and efficiency in AI clusters and data centers.

Demands for data movement are growing exponentially as hyperscalers, frontier labs and neoclouds build ever-larger AI data centers, exposing fragility in the networking stack that exists today. At the same time, new architectural and algorithmic innovations in AI are only making the network bottleneck worse.

Eridu raised an oversubscribed $200M Series A in March 2026, led by Socratic Partners, John Doerr, Hudson River Trading, Capricorn Investment Group and Matter Venture Partners, with participation by Bosch Ventures, Eclipse Capital, Fusion Fund, Osage University Partners, SBVA, TDK Ventures, VentureTech Alliance, and Zelda Ventures among others.
